The latest painting I finished using a landscape photo book as reference. That small sun was tricky, but I like how it turned out overall.
Sunrise or Sunset?

Tie-Dyed
The latest batch of shirts I dyed last month. Most have been given away now, but I have enough supplies left to try another few if I get the energy one day before summer is out. We’ll see.
A Mighty Price – piano & voice
A Mighty Price – https://youtu.be/OwX39um73_0 – This song has been done for many weeks, but recording had to wait until my class was finished & the room was finished and I’d settled in on my new job. Took a while, but I’m glad to say I’m not quite finished with music. Lyrics at the youtube link if you’d like.
Fiery Sky
This was an open arch wood piece when I bought it. I spray painted black with white, covered the back with box cardboard I prepped white, then filled in with coffee filter paper I colored and clear coated in gloss. Love how it turned out.
Through the Fire
A small canvas skull painting, the first completed of 2024. Last year put me through it and making it to the next with such a changed perspective is a gift I paid a high cost, but that’s that. The coward in me will be put to death at every turn this year. No more suffering.

Going Home
Referencing a landscape book I’ve had for years. I never paint wild life so I thought this was a good place to try for a change.
Mirror Beyond
Accidentally dropped this mirror trying to move it to a new spot. I picked up the larger shards and decided it needed a second life anyway. Painted the frame from black to blue and I used the same marker / coffee filter paper sheets for the background as I do with my flowers.
In Fresh Air
Coffee filter paper flowers.
A Royal Portrait
Below is the sketch page on the right, then the final canvas drawing on the left. This is the second painting from these sketch ideas. I may have been thinking about alien rulers / destroyers or something. Whatever it was, I love the results.
