Dinnertime on the Homestead

Dinnertime, 2019, Archival Digital Print

The flock is molting now so added protein is important. Yesterday it was warm scrambled eggs with herbs, salmon, and 8-grain wheat toast. They gathered together in the communal meal, making soft happy sounds.

Nicky, the feral cat I’m hoping to tame, got eggs too. They are so plentiful now and such a perfect protein that the hens actually give back more than they get consume.

I repeat myself, but the pleasure of  being part of the land in the way living here has given me is so pleasurable.  I am grateful.

 

President Evil

Descent, preparatory drawing, Charcoal on Canvas, 2019

This canvas was started as a way of thinking about the state of our country at present.  The camera shot it from the side, so it looks skewed, just as our suffering under Trump is.  Now we have abandoned the Kurds, our loyal allies.  Never have I seen a more evil nor destructive being in the Oval Office.  It assures me that Evil exists in the world and that it is manifest in humans who ruin and sully everything and everyone it touches.
