“Look at the Birds of the Air” 9×12 inches, oil on paper Every 31 takes me on a different trail through the same forest. One year I discovered the magic of watercolor. Another, my ideas and hopes started to grow as plants and flowers from the heads of human figures, a concept I’ve been playing […]
“Bird Watcher” 6×6 inches, oil on canvas I saw a post on instagram recently that I shared. “One day you’re young and carefree; the next you’re like, “Is that a tufted titmouse at my bird feeder?!” I don’t think I much noticed birds when I was younger and could probably name as many as I […]
“Come With Me” 6×6 inches, oil on canvas I found a file in my google drive this morning that I’d created in 2021 called “Poems I Like.” Some I remembered well, and others felt like it was my first time reading them. Thank you, past me, for creating and then forgetting entirely a file […]
“How the Light Gets In” 8×16 inches, oil on canvas Today’s painting is a bit of a shift. A couple weeks ago my family was invited to one of our most dedicated and long-time 31 in 31 participant’s new home on a huge, sprawling span of land complete with a large pond and a perfectly […]
“Inspiration Does Exist” 16×20 inches, oil on canvas I have been working on today’s painting for several days now. It’s a good bit bigger than my paintings so far, and I had no idea where it was going until it got there. First one bird. Then two. Then three and four, in a circle around […]
“Sing the Tune without the Words” 8 inch diameter, oil on canvas I know this is painfully trite, but I’m diving in anyway: Mondays are hard. My son nearly missed the bus as I threw all the previously chopped onions, peppers, garlic, celery, and beans into the crock pot, threw the dial on high and […]
“A Holiness that Exists inside Everything” 8×8, oil on canvas Today’s painting started many days ago. I was trying to explore the poem by Mark Nepo that I shared on Day 14– This line in particular: In the very center, under it all, what we have that no one can take away and all […]
“It’s Okay, Dear One, to be Proud of Yourself” 6×6, oil on canvas I came across a photo of a little Prothonotary Warbler with its chest pushed out, and I knew that kind of confidence would have to make it into a painting. I learned this years back about parenting: It is more important […]
“Let the Voodoos of Ambition Sleep” 6×6, oil on canvas Today’s painting is a continuation of yesterday’s: the subject matter but also the idea that it’s okay to explore the same thing again and again if that is what feels right. I did wonder if these faces would translate on canvas as they do on […]
