I’m currently re-reading a book called “show your work!” By Austin Kleon. And I’m taking his advice to carve out my own little spot on the internet that is just mine and showing my work.

Today I’m posting unedited pics of my most recent painting that I just framed. These paintings look how my brain feels most day but especially during this past year or so.

I’ve been working my day job (at a retail store with a grocery store attached) throughout the entire pandemic because I work at an essential business. It has not been easy - comparing myself to everyone around me, dealing with the public during a global pandemic, and general stress of living trough a pandemic.

I’ve been jealous of people’s quarantine time. What I wouldn’t give to have two weeks off to hunker down and not speak to anyone that I didn’t choose to speak to.

Ive learned that the general public does not believe in science or taking care of each other.

Living through a pandemic is weird like you think it will change things but it really doesn’t.

I have no answers or solutions. I just have paintings. What can I say-I’m an artist not a philosopher. .
