I'm also pleased to report that I am still here (relatively cheerful!), still working, hopeful that we will continue to converse on subjects aesthetic, political, personal and global. I will, however, be thinking about these issues as they relate to being online.
If you want more information about blogging and plagiarism, which I didn't know was so pervasive, here is a link to a wonderful blogger,
Velveteen Mind, who did something about it, and a link to
Mr. Artyfice's rant. Feel free to weigh in.
This painting is worked from the photo I took for the solarplate image you see from the previous post. It is 9" x 12", oil on linen panel artists' board.

Cinco de Mayo!

Still somewhat incognito in Arizona. This painting is a reworked one from last year: Self Portrait Like Hybrid Flowers. I like this one for right now.
Be safe in your studio, even if you have a rescue dog...
