A portrait of one of the people in my life who gives me a "sense of belonging" even though that term is now forbidden in my government. More on this administration's war on words and a video of the making of this painting: https://gwennseemel.com/blog/2025/0310-lbv-amy-c/

Comparisons.

Karl Stanley Benjamin. ~1976.
O'Keeffe. Portrait of a Day - 2nd Day, 1924.
Picasso. Still Life with Fish, 1923.
Kurt Schwitters. Blue, 1923-6.

The recent comparison posts are because I was playing a NYT wordgames app until last week when one of the clues promoted Tesla Cybertruck. I deleted the app immediately, but one of the best activities had been an association game. It interested me how my brain works through such contrasts. So I'm making my own association games!

Van Gogh. Still Life with an Earthen Bowl and Potatoes, 1885.

He went through a whole thing for potatoes, but this is my favorite. In arrangement and feel it also resembles his Still Life with Quinces and a few others. These are not the Van Goghs you generally see out roaming around on posters and coffee mugs. You have to look for them, but they're just as arresting. The background seems to play as big a role as the subject matter here.

The Orion Nebula spans an impressive 24 light-years across, it is one of the largest and brightest nebulae visible from Earth.

Thanks for the the boosts and likes! It means the world and motivates to keep sharing

Here is a piece I did back in 2018, and later made available as print the year after (2019)

- The Universal Selves -
if you look closely, you will find another face or two within the first one.. so to say..
the blue and gold face are each separate and one. the old blue woman is a crone, seen in profile.
the gold young.
together they make one face..

The edge of a dark forest, tall densely planted trees in deep shade with bright golden light where the forest ends. Painted in oil pastel and available now...

going out to paint this tree. It’s been a struggle, since the weather is very capricious right now, switching from overcast to sunlit in mere seconds. Despite the challenge, I am pleased with aspects of this.
A mother came along with her kids and told me that I was very talented and I should do something with that. Well, I told her that I am painting a picture.

Our favourite bird, the robin. One of the most familiar birds here, regularly visiting gardens. Robins are also common in parks, scrub and woodland, making their presence known with a loud, territorial song.

Prudence Heward. Rollande, 1929.

Let's celebrate Canada today with more of the amazing feminist Prudence Heward. In my opinion she deserves equal billing right up there with Lempicka for the same era and sculptural treatment of strong women.

Prudence Heward. At the Theater, 1928.

As interesting as we may find this #painting today for its odd vantage and allusions to earlier works and partial abstraction, it's remembered most for depicting unaccompanied women in public without a man in the picture. That's apparently what viewers at the time would have noticed first: a statement about women's new independence.

I'm enjoying working with this palette this week - feels refreshing!
