Sitting outside with an iced coffee and a little treat makes me feel so wonderful and like nothing is actually as terrible as it is.

Sometimes things stack up on my easel very pleasingly.

A painting of a round face above a floating bowl sitting ontop of an old sheet of plywood with a small rock painted on it. Underneath the rock is a piece of paper that reads “the panicked rabbits could not be reasoned with”

Eat when you’re hungry - Sleep when you’re tired. Acrylic, pencil, oil pastel. A1 mat board.

A painting in a gold frame sitting on a busy easel. The painting has a cream background and a pink boarder also creating the horizon. There’s a hollow face made with rainbow lines casting a solid shadow behind it. Trees and their shadows line the horizon.

A black, arched boarded painting. Swampy teal top quarter. With a Black Sea urchin with a screwed up fave. Below are two birds and a snake. The snake is in a box on its own. In front of all this is a horse and a barn. The horse is sinking into the black landscape.

I’m supposed to be doing emails and packing things. But I really wanted to paint a rock on my drawing board. Now I’m done I’m sad that I have to go do work.

An old piece of plywood sitting on a very weathered easel. A small rock is painted on the bottom left hand corner of the plywood. It’s casting a short shadow to the right.

They built a really ugly new building across the way from my studio but it now reflects more light into my studio! New shadow unlocked!

A white wall half full of paintings and a clock. A couple of guitars and some more paintings are learn up against it on the floor. A large shadow covered most of the wall with backwards shadow letters at the top.

Photo of an abstract art piece by Kazland titled “Bad Garden Party Stare”. It is predominantly red, black & white, plus a touch of yellow & pink, in a black wooden box frame, also made by the artist.
