People often think they’re choosing art for how it looks.

In reality, they’re choosing it for how it feels to live with. “Reclining N**e in Gold” is the kind of work that builds that connection over time.

What’s something you’ve brought into your home that still feels right months or years later?

Happy Friday. Today's thought? A well-designed room isn’t built all at once. It’s layered over time.

Art like “Black Mountain Gypsy” often becomes the anchor. It gives everything else a point of reference, whether that’s furniture, lighting, or color choices.

Sometimes an unfinished space just needs something intentional.

There’s a quiet pull sometimes to do things a little differently.

Take a new route. Try something new. Shift your routine just enough to notice.

It doesn’t have to be a big change, just something that makes life feel a little less automatic.

Could "St. Stephen with Bone Hand" be part of that shift?

Bone painting (after Jean Fouquet - Estienne Cavalier with St. Stephen)

I painted this as part of the ongoing series of famous artworks as bone people.

At the time I thought their faces were originally painted so beautifully and felt that I needed the practice painting real flesh, so I just gave Stephen the bone hand. The rest is painted as close to Fouquet's original as I could get it.

There’s a difference between owning art and living with it.

“Lichen #1” is a reminder that the spaces you move through every day can feel considered, personal, and alive.

Art doesn’t need a special occasion to matter. It works best when it becomes part of your rhythm.

Where in your home do you actually pause the most to take something in?

Every season has its own personality.

Some feel fast and delightfully wild. Some are packed and frenetic. Others are slow, quiet, and intentionally euphoric.

How could “Papa Mali” fit into whichever version you’re in? It’s less about keeping up and more about choosing what feels right for you.

So which is it for you this year… frenetic, chaotic, or lazy?

Happy World Social Media Day.

It feels appropriate to say hello from here today. The path from you to art often runs through a screen, a scroll, a follow.

"Janes Addiction in Lucian Freud's Studio" exists in your feed because that path opened, and I am genuinely glad it did. Thanks for following me here.
