Théophile-Jean Delaye was a master of blending science, art, and love through his paintings of Moroccan medinas street characters, craftsmen, and everyday objects. His works are a testament to the beauty found in the mountains and souks of Morocco.

We are in the wildfire season. A couple of years ago I made a series of paintings about the fires I experienced. I realized artists can lean in and bring meaning and empathy to tragedy. For me it's a path towards healing.

In 'Draw Your Town' I offer a call-to-action to reportage artists on how they can help small towns in America. I write about the challenges California towns are experiencing and how artists and art making can make a difference in these places in need. https://t.co/QnFSI2X96r

If you lived in San Francisco back in the early 2000's you may have seen my weekly Bay Folk Sketchbook panel that ran in the San Francisco Chronicle. It was my homage to Bay area people and the work they do. It ran for 84 weeks.

These drawings by Sister Maurice Schnell may seem naive and simple but her steady hand, precise pencil lines and calligraphy suggest a caring and love of place. They also leave us wanting to know more about the life of a nun in the 19th C.

Chittaprosad Bhattacharya was a revolutionary artist who became the voice of India’s suffering. In 1943 he sketched the Bengal Famine. He was a man fired by a passion to record the pain his people.

Everyday during the pandemic I rode my bike to a different spot in Marin County and make a drawing, then write a haiku. This was one of the activities that kept me sane and creative. https://t.co/HDubzTMY3n

Back in 1953 L.S. Lowry was commissioned to create a painting of the coronation of Elizabeth II. What he came up with may not have had the degree of pomp and circumstance the monarchy would've approved of.
