I like creating art on occasion that doesn't have a clear "how to". My paintings are often just the opposite as I have a clear path of how to make one. This project is not clear cut. I've never made a corset from vines before! I've never even made a basket. I enjoy the process and wonder as I ask and experiment with the quest...

So, I didn't finish my painting today as I had planned, but I did enjoy some time in the yard and made myself a crown.

Sharpening my skills on another landscape! There are places that live in my memory so clearly that I feel I could paint them blind. Fortunately, I don't have to since I took so many pictures!

You may recognize this view. Even if you've never been to New Mexico this view has been used in TV and movies for years. This is where the Natural Born Killers got married, or where the Wild Hogs set out on adventure. It was even in one of the best forgotten Terminator sequels. To me it's a pretty spot...

This is a little more footage of my slinky bra making crazy sounds. I had a little bit of extra fun playing with my video effects, and some of them look really cool! Let me know if you have a favorite. Maybe I'll find a use for it in a future video! : )

Here's a little test that I did with my new "Slinky" bra. I love the sound of it! I'm sure that I'll come up with a way to use this, but until then it's good silly fun.

Happy Taco Tuesday! It's a rainy day, but I'm enjoying some great music indoors!

I felt like making something slinky for myself today! I love playing with words and perception. "Slinky" in terms of women's under garments usually means something a bit different than this more literal interpretation.
I've often wondered what it is about the breast that people often find offensive. Why is it so social...
With all of the excitement it looks as if I forgot to post this poem. It's about meaning, and as someone that is often asked "what does it mean?" I understand completely. : )

As you know, I love costumes and signature looks! I've got a new one!

I went through some photos. Some are old some are new. I can't keep track of what I've shared before or when, so if you've seen it before, please enjoy it again! Feel free to comment with any that you like in particular, or if you have any questions about where I am or what's going on. Most of these ca...

One of the things that I enjoy most as an artist is the power to inspire. I recently took some self portraits in my Rudi Gernreich Monokini because I thought that it was interesting and inspiring. It turns out that I was right. This is by a wonderful artist that you may have seen on twitter (@johnstar) or even her...

I think this one is complete! As I painted today, I couldn't help but think about the significance and symbolism of this piece.
I've heard a lot of reasons and excuses about why people aren't voting this election. Maybe the choices aren't ideal, maybe a two party system doesn't work. These are a couple of things I hav...
The white waters of the Rio Grande bubbling far below and a rainbow above! Progress!

It was really cold out there on this morning. But the air felt crisp and refreshing. It is such a lovely place and so peaceful.

I made some great progress today in detail and developing the landscape!

On my recent trip I spent some time on the Taos Plaza. It's a beautiful place made quiet by the pandemic. I'm glad to report that some businesses are opening up again.

As a kid, I might have imagined what it would be like to float over the Taos gorge. It seems appropriate to incorporate such a familiar landscape in this painting! I can't even begin to imagine how many times I've crossed that canyon!
Up in the sky and through rainbows! I am having so much fun with these paintings!
Full disclosure: when I was a kid, my brother would dress me in army fatigues and helmets. We had so many adventures! We were outlaws, we were sheriffs, it was play that helped us to break through to bigger things! We righted wrongs an...
I grew up in one of the most impressive landscapes!
My homecoming covered such a wide range of emotions: everything from bittersweet to joy to freedom to acceptance. Probably a few more that I haven't even defined yet.
As I walked through familiar spaces and places, it felt like the landscape could hol...

I took a surreal trip! I'm still processing a bit, but I know it happened because I've got the pictures to prove it!
Happy Taco Tuesday!

I'm so excited to be starting another painting in the "magical ride" theme! I think this adventure will be placed in a beautiful landscape! Perhaps among waterfalls, cliff faces, and a rainbow? I'll work on some sketches and see what I come up with.

Where shifting sands nestle into the mountains. Cottonwoods stand guard to keep the dunes at bay. This is a unique and interesting spot.

I enjoyed a very unique spot. It's not every day that you find such dry meeting such wet. The clash of environments creates a unique biosphere. Wonderful to visit, but not made for humans.

Sorry that I was unexpectedly gone most of this week. It's even the first Taco Tuesday that I've missed in a while! I did a little traveling and came back with a lot of wonderful reference materials and some fun videos.
This is a beautiful spot where the sand and mountains meet. The shifting sand...

I walked past some lovely theaters to the murals that are near the side. They are so colorful and bright that they really caught my eye.
I filmed this before the #supportsanna. I am happy to see a woman in a leadership role being and wearing what she wants. The tide raises all ships, and I see in her t...
