Musician no. 2 starts to emerge. Banjo player. #watercolor #jazz #markkaufman
I am continuing a series of jazz players. Here is the first face. I am pleased. Always risky posting pictures as a painting develops as at any stage it can go south. #watercolor #jazz #musician #markkaufman
The finished image despite being out of sorts today.
Today’s addition. Using a largish brush leads to a loser style.
The suit is now done. That finishes yesterday’s painting. Using a fairly large round brush for this one and a certain amount of wet on wet. It creates a looser style than I often use. #watercolor #neworleans #jazz #markkaufman #paintinginsteps
My wife is off having lunch with a colleague so I ordered a comfort food chicken cheesesteak and did so more painting.
I didn’t think to photograph this one face by face. Here it is with both faces. The one on the left is this morning’s work so far. #watercolorinworks #markkaufman #jazzplayers #neworleans
Tried happy amidst the scary chaos going on just to find relief. #watercolors #markkaufman #womeninart
Even some of Trump's biggest media supporters are turning on him over the Epstein cover-up. app.sosha.ai/s/DmvnJDwE
I try to paint the unexpected. How many images of a person and white wash are there. It’s fun that way. #watercolor #markkaufmanwatercolors.com #bluedress #clothesline
I had one last October. Not fun, and it contributed to intestinal trouble. Still, the knee was fixed.
I have several. This one is $300 unframed. Framing would add $100.
Thanks
I do sell.
Thanks. Really appreciated.
Finally got back to painting. Depression, anxiety and a bout with hypomania got in the way. I have another New Orleans band planned. Really like this one. #watercolor #Neworleans #jazz #markkaufman

Thanks
Thanks
Go Wilmington. It was great to be there.
Thanks Chicago
Thank you San Diego
Thank you Chicago
I’ve brought my flag to every demonstration. Won’t let the right wing crazies claim it as exclusively theirs.
Clever
No Kings parade in Wilmington De. About 2000 of us. #nokings #wilmington #resist #flagday
Real power isn't staged in DC — it rises up everywhere else. Join me on No Kings Day to stand together against cruelty, corruption, and authoritarianism. app.sosha.ai/s/FXtXg20S
Woman with hat in chair. Just a bit of my usual touch of the odd in the metal background against which this woman sits in her chair. #watercolor #womaninchair #figurative #fineart #markkaufman

Had been doing black raincoats. This one is obviously yellow Trying to stay with levity amidst this crash into fascism Herrera in the states. #yellowraincoat #laughingwoman #watercolor #figurative #markkaufman
Thanks for the reply
Two black raincoats. Which gets your vote. #raincoat #womeninart #watercolor #markkaufman
As I look at it again, the orange tends to dominate while the mandala holds better with the aqua.
I am partial to the orange.
Keep missing hashtags. #singer#jazz#watercolor
A return to musicians. This one suggestive rather than more realist. I am generally suggestive to one extent or the other.

Here is the same image, shown on the left, cropped. Trying to decide which way I like it best. Do you have a preference? #poppies #watercolor#woman
A brief break from the sequence on instruments. #poppies #portrait #womeninart #watercolor #markkaufman
Saxophone It’s not Candy Dulfer but inspired by her. #saxophone #musician #watercolor #womaninart #Lilywashere
Never was going to. Fueled by the same disastrous thinking that too often infected the left at the turn of the twentieth century.
#violin #womeninart #watercolor #markkau
I’ve started a series of violin players. We will see if I complete it. Meanwhile I like this one.
Don’t think it needs more. Sometimes less is best.
Once a person but now becoming a machine? Or is it a machine becoming a person? Or is it simply both?
Not sure how I get so tangled up. She’s half machine or maybe kept functional by man made tools. Bipolar medication along with a dozen others for everything. It’s wonderful that we have them though.
A bit different. Admit to being torn and confused. The diet strategy for one problem created others. Now I have to stumble bumble my way to something else or modified. Any way this is for you all feeling your mortality. #watercolor. #mortality. #faces. #womeninart
I will now go back to posting art.
I seldom quote the Bible. This sums up Trump. John 8:44 You are of your father the devil. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Our to be leader and any number of his following deceive themselves and project their own sins onto others. They have no real grasp of the good, but put great store in being thought of as good. Anything, any wickedness, may be done. Yet they never put themselves on trial for their misdeeds.
I am wondering why Bluesky seems not to allow my comments on the soon to be President.
Triumph of music
Thanks. In appreciate your taking the time to write.
I am playing with advertising as a subject. Entirely made up products. #watercolor. #butterfly. #figurativeart.
Someone suggested the Lady of Shallot. Hadn’t thought of that. Woman,boat, sorrow. #ladyofshallot , #figureinboat, #watercolor
My wife asked if there is a message to this one. If so I don’t know it. I was when composing it taken by its mood of sorrow or loneliness. Do you see a message. #womanstanding, #rowboat, #watercolor,
Hashtags are not my strong suit. So don’t know.
A dandelion fairy. #fairy,#watercolor,#dandelion, #ballerina
I like this recent one because of its perspective. Thanks for the invitation. 140lb arches cold press and transparent watercolor.
I finished it in time for her to go to the New Years ball. #bigdress, #watercolor, #greydress, #Newyear
It seems that the rate of expansion of the universe varies depending on the method used to measure it. One conclusion is that we have not understood something about the universe. I love it. A mystery to be solved though solving it isn’t something I am equipped by training to do.
Went out to see the lights at Rockwood on New Years Eve.
@lindabowman.bsky.social didn’t see the image? Here it is
Still a novice at this. I gather the image which I had just posted didn’t appear with this one. So here it is.
I did on a post immediately before this one.
How good it is that we are told such things.
Pretty obviously the length and breadth of the dress are exaggerated in proportion to the figure. By quite some extent. That’s deliberate in case anyone wondered.
Almost completed this grey dress and figure. I am fond of fabric. Happy New Year to you all. Won’t be for another about 14 hours here on the east coast USA, but less than two hours in Sydney.
Another black and white image with a darker look. I am turning to a silver dress and a dancer for something lighter.
Christmas lights along the Riverfront. Hope you all have bright holidays. They can be a struggle.
A bipolar inspired black and white watercolor. It’s unlike most of what I do, but reflects my recent mood.
In addition to watercolors I went on a spree of carving wooden sharks. I ran out of room for them and have stopped. Now I’d have to learn the steps again. It would be easier with a band saw with a six inch throat but I don’t have one.
Alice is one of my favorite characters. I never tire of paintings based on Wonderland. Here she’s floating down the rabbit hole her skirt acting as a parachute. I don’t know about you, but when I fall down a rabbit hole it isn’t as gentle as her fall.
Definitely not how it works for me. I need models.
Now I didn’t separate the hashtags with commas. #watercolors,#figurative, #art, #markkau
Still haven’t grasped the hashtag business. #watercolors, #ballet, #figurativeart,#bipolar
Why are the hashtags not in blue but we’re in blue on another reply? Inquiring minds want to know.
Still practicing with this program. I posted another image with hashtags in reply to an earlier post just to see what happens. Now I post it direct complete with a few hashtags.#watercolors#figurative painting#dancers
I didn’t put hashtags on my first watercolor post. Newbie obviously. One subject I return to in my paintings is ballet. #watercolors#ballet#figurative#painting
Bipolar influences my watercolors sometimes more than other times. It does this one mirror of two moods.
I am a watercolorist whose subject is mostly figurative. This one is black and white.
