One of my first paintings with color back in late 2022. I had only done monochromatic drawings most of my life, and wanted to teach myself color and painting. This is basically a colored drawing, and a big first step! It's called, "Cozy Cat."

Winifred Knights. A view to the east from the British School at Rome, 1921.

Especially in times of heightened tension and violence worldwide it can feel guilt-inducing just to relax at home and turn inward. Don't feel guilty! Rest to renew your strength. Rest for those who cannot. Rest and rise again tomorrow and the world will still be there.

One of my favourite vacations was visiting Madeira a few years ago. After walking half an hour in any direction it feels like suddenly you are on a different continent. And there is always the ocean around you, clashing against cliffs or giving you a backdrop for small towns.

Every now and then I need to paint it. This time with soft pastels, really working some pigment into the cliffside.

Australia has some fantastic regional galleries. And one that's definitely worth checking out is the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery in the town of Windsor, just northwest of Sydney.

The Hawkesbury region was badly affected by the 2019–2020 bushfires.

Five years on, the local gallery is hosting an exhibition by local artists titled "Burnt into Memory", which both remembers the destruction of the bushfires, and also celebrates the resilience of the local community in the aftermath.

Watching the protests while working on a new forest painting.. pretty similar to the last one, because I liked making that!

Needs something on the foreground I think.. to make it special.. maybe something safe like more foliage, or something weird like a wizard or a witch or some animal..? :blobcat_think:
