“Troubled earth”

Work began on this in July 2026.

Part of a new series called “Absorption”

I don’t use AI tools to make my art. And AI tools do not have permission to train on or assimilate my art.

New sketch for the new painting. 36 x 48 inches. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

This new painting goes well with the older one of sunflowers. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

I think this is finished. It's hard to tell, but the reds and violets were hard to dial in properly. I like them now, but it took a little work. And the texturing of the petals is fun, too. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Adding more texture, and red under the violet. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

9/21/1851 — b. Susan Macdowell Eakins, American artist. Photographer, painter; noted for her early works in #photography. A talented artist in her own right, her career was overshadowed by her husband, the more famous American artist, Thomas Eakins #womenshistory #womenartists #womensart #painters

Working more on the inner petals. The different shades of violet with the reds underneath are fun. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

This is 36x48 inches, so there's a lot of space to get textures in there. More layers of purple and red. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

The beginning of each painting is different. Sometimes I start with a small part of reality and I give it a magical tilt. Some I start with pure abstraction and they end abstract.

Back in the Netherlands:

All the texturing paint underneath has made the substrate less porous. So this violet paint isn't covering as well as it should. This is going to take a couple layers. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Five artists nearly lost to time.

I think this is enough texturing for the new painting. I believe they're sweet peas. Deep purple. They ought to go well with the bright orange sunflower painting. #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork
