Works in progress, where I share what I'm working on and what I'm thinking about, and also show my Instagram feed.

Looking forward to the big art party at the end of the month at the @bemiscenter! Two small paintings I made are among the offerings. Hope to see you there.

Earlier layers looked like this:
