It's feeling a little springy here.

The vessel is you.

I'm working on letting the new to me paints take me on a journey. 🚤

Playing around with more new to me paints. I love art supply thrift stores.

Playing around with new to me paint sets.

My photo collage shows five cylindrical Minoan cups each with a single handle and slightly flaring rim. Each cup is decorated with a different geometric polychrome motif: Top left: swirling white vine-like lines and round reddish-orange medallions framed by white circles on a black background. Top right : large white spiral on front of cup with a reddish-orange oval shape with stylised white petals beside it, on a black background. Middle left: diagonal zig-zag stripes in alternating black and white above and below a band around the middle of the cup Bottom left: swirling white lines and reddish-orange and white geometric band on a black background. Bottom right: diagonal white stripes below a row of red dots outlined with white circles on a black background. This type of ornamental Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida on the Greek island of Crete where this kind of pottery was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items produced by palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups were excavated at Phaistos and are dated 1800-1700 BC.

Marvellous Minoan cups made by Bronze Age potters about 3,800 years ago!

Just thinking about my favorite mannerist paintings 📚📚📚

Spoons! Decorated with everything I love!

Another small painting from the archives.

Every once in a while I think about chairs. This tiny painting from 2023 is one of those times! Right now my practice is mostly home stuff. Looking forward to that shifting soon 🪑🖼

Reorganizing my works on paper storage! Here's one from Spring 2020! Was doing a lot of work around dreams and loneliness during the pandemic. It was the first time I had used people in my work in a decade!

I just saw them for the second time. It was an amazing show

Thank you! 🥰

More Book Marks. It's a fun little way to think in the stu

Good Colors!

This looks like a reasonable stack! I always overpack books on trips, especially if I think there's relaxing time

Last few days.... thinking about traditional portraiture with pets and hobbies, quilts and bigger embroideries.

I love these.

Drawing 3. I like looking back at photos I've taken of art and learning from them by re-drawing. Especially if I can't see what I was seeing in the moment like the blurry photo I took of a Rembrandt at the Hammer last month. I'd be too embarrassed to post it but I must've seen something ....

I am clearing out another social account (slowly) and a couple of things struck me that I miss. One of which is my "30 days of __" series. So here's drawing number 2. I think it will just be 30 days of drawings but we'll see how it goes with no set theme. #drawing #30daysofdrawing #artistsonbluesky

Waves coming to shore is such a fantastic way of expressing the cycles of work that we go through. I love looking back and seeing things that have resurfaced or things that I intentionally want to return to

This is so good

Okay!

There's nothing like going thru your old online presence ... in 2014, I started painting these still lives. I figured them out on the page with each move in response to the previous. They felt like a very clear growth from the non representational work I had been exploring while at Pratt.
