Birdhouse Row.
New additions courteous of @michaelsstores and @poscaoficial markers.
In a month or so that area in front of the posts will be filled with wildflowers.
Yea, I'm that age.

Two new ones from the easel. Working from photos I took at the end of last summer...I'm always a season or two behind from my photos. Never enough time! 16"x20" oil on canvas.
These will be on display at Black Locust Brewery in Sept.🙂🎨🍻

This video highlights artist Jame McElroy (former student) and his business, Two Crow Collective.
Jame reached out to me in 2018, 10+ yrs after he graduated, to tell me he had started a (t-shirt) printing company - at the time, called "Dirty Bourbon Clothing". The messages and themes behind his art were 100% relatable to me, and I became an immediate fan, buying several shirts.
Fast forward 5 years: Jame changes the name, opens a physical shop, and his online business continues to grow, reaching an even larger audience, and I buy more; I love my "Float On" shirt!
His most recent design, "PBS is Punk", is officially licensed, and a portion of the proceeds goes to PBS. If you do not see @twocrowcollective next to this design, it is stolen. Beware of imitators!
When Jame asked me to be part of this interview, I was super anxious and really reluctant to watch it. I wish I could be more relaxed when being filmed! Thank god for editing!
Jame - Thanks for giving a voice to people who often need it most. Keep doing the good work, the world needs it :)

Just a couple of dudes from high school catching up.
When kids at school ask me if I knew I would be an artist/art teacher when I was in high school my response is always, heck no! I had to sit across the table from this guy.

Summer 2025 - nature photo dump part deux.
All summer I would watch birds fly in and out of my birdhouses until last weekend I saw this guy. I think he was enjoying the ants feasting on the bird egg remains. Point of reference - the birdhouse is on a 6' post.

Long-overdue thanks to the purchasers of these two paintings. I think this makes three of mine now in their collection? So grateful ❤️ and appreciative of their support.
