January 20

Out my studio window

This picture seemed like the right choice for today, .MLK Day and Inauguration Day. The eagle is a little blurry. I am feeling a little blurry myself.

Below are three works completed over the weekend — a tabletop object and two works on paper. The theme of the day is small and mighty..

Untitled,/ found wood, stained kindling / 8 × 2 × 1.5 inches

Stack 1, Second Beach / oil on paper/ 20 × 16 inches paper size

Stack 11, Second Beach / oil and graphite on paper / 20 × 16 paper size.

This evening, I attended a poetry reading at Imprints Book Shop in town. Twelve local poets read their poems in the spirit of honoring Martin Luther King and in resistance to the Trump presidency. A receptive community of listeners. I was glad to be there.
