End of the Week Art: Rose Espinosa (b. 1995), “Little Silver”, oil on board, 2018. Love this piece, to get those layers and textures of white/gray/silver. Gothic portraiture coming in hot! Holy smokes, let's all go walk the moors! ♥️ more recent work: martinbrownecontemporary.com/rose-espinosa
"Strange Landscape"...drying today then some varnish tomorrow.
Rest easy, Clem Burke, and thank you for the music - one of the best to ever do it, absolute legend. The intro to Dreaming is one of my favvroite beats ever. His work with Blondie and Eurythmics, part of my musical fabric forever.
from my backyard this morning - new mama hummingbird is all of us 🪹
“How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.” ~ Virginia Woolf
Reminds me of this terrific work - Marc Burckhardt, ''The Three Fates '' triptych, acrylic and oil on wood panel. Cover illustration from the book, Rendezvous in Venice.
I've overworked it and it became more emo than anticipated, but it's growing on me: "Peace Where You Can Find It", acrylic on canvas, 12x16x1.5, 2025

Morning coffee ☕️ (pre-stain by someone else) with Fanny Howe
Baby dandelion finch (yes, I know they're called Lesser finches, but this is what I call them) in my front yard tonight is bringing me joy...thank you, little one.
