Rain line is the darker gray on left where storm line is approaching river. Love when you can watch the movement of the rain line across the landscape. Currents were running strong at high tide as well as wind was pushing the storm so made for an interesting shot.
I have trouble figuring out all the new sites as I use the phone mostly instead of my computers. Iβm always fascinated with time especially as Iβm running out of it, not keeping track of it, and always wishing there were more of it! open.substack.com/pub/taylorco...
Cannot help but ask why it took this to make a GOP woman have a come-to-Jesus-moment. Nothing seems to phase them on reports about Trump. Maybe PTSD moments will affect some more of them who have young daughters. Old men with a thing for young girls is horrible. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Saw Folds recently in concert and decided to give him a read. An interesting read a few pages inβ¦βI was in second grade when I realized I wanted to play piano.β I was like four and took lessons for like 10 years. I am not musical in the βtimeβ department. :-) Iβm glad Folds was. #creativity #booksky

There could be truth in this #quote. Are we trying to return home to when we were little kids to see chickens with their heads cut off, to grandfathers dying while fishing, and memories of reminders of the grandmother who died a month before your birth? I did like tending graves. Flowers everywhere
So depressingβ¦friend is flying a trump flag! Had no idea she was like thatβ¦who flies political flag anyway? Thatβs beyond gauche. Sheβs on her fourth husband I think-really need to #write this one out as itβs mind-numbing. Sussex Countyβs mostly GOP. Confederate flag flyer on 1/6 was Sussex guy. UGH
Started this painting in 2016 with a #pleinair group I paint with often. Trying to finish up some older works as looking forward to #painting in a few days in Worcester County with focus on #BerlinMaryland. They have wonderful older buildings and cute historic district. #WIP
Muted colors in the brick wall are so fun. Love the mix of opposites. #photo #ornaments
I got a guitar for Christmas at 12. Like the piano lessons I took for years, no amount of lessons could help me learn to play the guitar either. I did learn the basic 10 chords or so but strumming hurt my fingers and I didnβt like to slide my fingers on the stringsβ¦ jpshrine.org/chords/html_...

Without entry level jobs there is no entrance into many advanced worlds. What is wrong with many buying into artificial world where only thing necessary is a power grid.

Really miss our shop kitty #NicholastheCat. He was such a sweetie. One of the last shadow βselfiesβ I did of him. Rest in peace dear old boy. You sure had a great life as our #gallerycat. #blackcat #cats
This house is also on State Street and on my list to paint as well. I love my neighborhood in Dover #Delaware. Land of tax free loving. lol. #artistatwork #artist #Delaware houses is a subject I do often over the years. Check My Etsy shop ntaylorcollins.etsy.com/listing/4345...
This house is for sale on State Street in Dover #Delaware. Itβs perfect home, art gallery, boutique, restaurant, whatever! Itβs right around corner from my house and down the street from gallery. I have it on list to paint this year! #artistatwork #victoriandelight. Thereβs 3 Victorians for sale!
My mentorβs birthday was a few days ago. I meant to post this then. He also died 10 days before his 100th birthday and my goal is to make it to 100. Most people havenβt heard of #WPA or #CCC. It saved many Americans during the post-depression era & resulted in many public works. Elections matter.
Some People went to Burning Man for this holiday weekend. We celebrate Burning Limbs mostly on the back yard. #happyLaborDay #fall is in the air!

The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Next yearβs semisescentennial (who in heck can spell this word for #250th celebration?) #History isnβt our bailiwick but #Delaware is #FirstState & not city in Ohio or part of New England. My motto is βDE may be small, but we started it all!β I can stamp a park passport or anything else. Stop by!
When in #Dover #Delaware stop by. My friend whoβs a reporter stopped by yesterday to take some photos & maybe do some tictoc stuff. I donβt tic or toc but he thinks #gallery & shop would be good idea to highlight. Will post when I see links. #onlycommercialartgallery in #statecapital #artistatwork
Really am going to miss this one! Onward! #artistatwork #painting #artsold is best art! lol.
My next large painting to finish! Donβt think I have the right photo referenceβhave to go back through my camera. I started this #art about 5 years ago. Nothing like taking a while to finish. #artistatwork #workinprogress #publicstudio if you can call the #gallery & shoppes anything normal. :-)
So fun this morning as daughter of one of my old neighbors who ran the coolest #antiquestore in Dover back in the day stopped by. Louis Bailey charged hardly any mark-up on his used items. She said his store is now torn down on Cecil Street.That is so sad! His house is still here near the cemetery.
We are missing our #gallerycat this Labor Day weekend. So many visitors that he would love to have greeted. #nicholasthecat #blackcats
I loved living in DC as President of an organization that had a charming old Victorian in DuPont Circle. My grandson would visit sometimes and loved going to various museums, the zoo, and famous landmarks. #citylife

Goodbye Nicholasβ¦we so loved you as our #shopkitty for so many yearsβ¦ #blackcats #catsrule
Today was first day without our buddy, Nicholas. He was best #gallerycat #blackcat #cat who was in a shop full-time ever. We are thankful he has a short illness and that he is at peace now and out of pain. We will always remember him and how great an asset he was to our small business and the joy.
And #sunset photos are the best!!!
He is a babbling idiot and the GOP are a cowardly bunch of immoral fools. What is wrong with all of them? Impotence and ugly wives cannot account for this much dysfunction. #menbehavingbadly is nothing new but GOP male bastion of psychos has got to go. Epstein files must have so much to hide.
Our Nicholas, the sweetest #gallerycat on the planet is gone now. There was simply nothing to be done to help his suffering so the vet said it was best to let him go. This is early photo. Heβll so be missed & weβll share some of cutest photos. Rest in Peace, sweet boy. So so many will miss you. ππββ¬π

An amazing readβ¦ some of the victims of Epstein are holding a press conference on September 3 seems to have made our President put armed troops in DC I think as a diversion. Heβll do anything to stop press from talking about Epstein files. Epstein = pentagon papers open.substack.com/pub/iamdonny...
For those who donβt know, #licenseplates are βa thingβ in #Delaware. This auction is amazing.
Our president is born loser & a psycho & capable of anything at this point - the real problem facing us are his minionsβ¦the seemingly well educated, but indoctrinated cult members, who have lost their moral compasses & humanity & have become like cruelest most demented children of a lesser god. Why?
I donβt think βdecent peopleβgive him benefit of the doubtβ¦itβs more that general population enjoys a freak show and innately wonders if this guy is for real. Itβs like those who like fake wrestling or real bull fighting fall for the showβ¦some personalities care about nothing moreβ¦gullible as hell
Who believes this crap? They think Americaβs are dumber than crap. How does GOP stomach any of this? Theyβre complete buffoons not to mention traitors & cowards. All of them are impotent old rich superficial white people with zero morals or values at all. The racism & the cruelty are disgusting.
This is a larger painting that has been sold that I need to finish of the same boat. Wallops Island is in the background. #artistatwork #islandsintheocean #barrierislands #woodenboats #bskyart The current administration wants to shut the #NASA facility down and launch no more rockets there. Sadβ¦
Finished another small boat painting as Iβve sold the larger version of this that has been sold. I love old wooden boats pulled up on beaches. This is in Atlantic Virginia and photos were taken about 35-40 Years ago. Iβve painted many variations over the years. #artistatwork #artforsale
Reporter: The DOJ is sending the Epstein files to Oversight Trump: You have a lot of people that could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be because he knew everybody in Palm Beach. The whole Epstein thing is a democrat hoax
No. Lots do as itβs a town park. I just try to capture some photos.
So for #writingprompt pick random date & search your photos to see what comes up. I picked 6/17/1998. My next door neighborβs friend picked bizarre way to end his life. I thought all noise outside at 6 in morning was utility workers fixing street light in alley. βTurning Off the Lightβ is my #poem.

Epstein files.
Epstein focus is why he is doing everything in his power to divert attention. Epstein was connected to everybody who was rich and powerful. He is going to throw everything out there he can to divert attention from his Achilles heelβ¦
Epstein diversionary tactics are at playβ¦ heβll probably give the nuclear codes to Putin to divert attention away from releasing those Epstein filesβ¦ he has no shame left in him except the exposure of how deep his sexual depravity runsβ¦ Florida seems to be the magnet for them. Focus on key issue.
How do we fix stupid?
And that Heritage Foundation geezer went to meet his maker so Satan should be really happyβ¦ & Hurricane Erin stayed at seaβ¦& Agent Orange is getting more feeble by the dayβ¦Putin seems to have lost some hold on him & Epstein debaucle is still gaining speedβ¦ thinking Epstein is going to be the thingβ¦
Say Epstein every single chance you getβhe will blow up the planet to prevent the release of those filesβ¦

He is very very illβ¦how low does the GOP keep their useful idiot in power? Do the people in the heritage foundation not need safe food, quality health care, air safety, national security? Enlightenment destruction is one thing but bringing on their notion of Armageddon is like a bridge too far?

Thanks so much. I catalog on Etsy and have a gallery in Dover Delaware.
Gallery & shop is so photogenic! We always have flowers & various flags add cool look to our historic location in downtown #DoverDelaware.
