Monday’s run: cold & gray The birds? Puffed up & cold My brain: “They need puffer jackets.” And just like that, "The Delayed Spring Collection" was born. I will be debuting this series in MSP ..b/c after everything the MSP people have been through, they deserve something that makes them smile.

A series of whimsical paintings showing different birds perched on branches, each wearing an oversized puffer jacket in bright or patterned colors. The birds include species like a chickadee, robin, seagull, duck, and others, painted with realistic detail but dressed humorously in jackets such as polka dots, pink, green, blue, and black with bold lettering

#nokings #nopedophiles Redactions wrap the victims in silence. When accountability dissolves behind wealth, I paint. #torilart

This has been festering deep in my bones, and finally, I have painted my feelings. When truth is suppressed, I paint. When people are silenced, art finds a voice. "Redacted" 24x30, Acrylic on Canvas The redacted pages of the Epstein files wrap her in silence. A woman stands upright—defiant, unbroken—bound by swirling black ribbons that echo those omissions, engineered silence protecting power. She holds a child’s toy and spools of thread—innocence interrupted, repair demanded of the wounded. She is a woman and a girl at once, suspended in exploitation. Her apron, a uniform of obedience and subjugation, carries the expectation to endure, to mend, to bear what was never hers. A halo crowns her head, radiant yet shaped like a target. Sanctified and marked, she rises as a guiding light for those exploited, silenced, and trafficked. She is washed in blue—collective grief and shame. The sorrow is not hers alone. It belongs to those who watch accountability dissolve behind wealth while truth disappears beneath redaction. Alt text: A stylized acrylic painting of a woman standing upright against a deep blue background filled with abstract, graffiti-like marks. Her skin is painted in cool blue tones. A bright golden halo glows behind her head, but a thick black ribbon wraps tightly across her eyes like a blindfold and coils around her body. She wears a pale apron over darker clothing. In her hands, she gently holds a small pink teddy bear and a spool of thread.

Travel fills the well. Poland gave me light, line, and bold color. This painting is my quiet nod to Wyspiański’s stained glass in Kraków. 🇵🇱 #ArtInspiredByTravel #ContemporaryFloral #KrakowArt

Vibrant contemporary painting of red poppies with bold black outlines and geometric color shapes, inspired by stained glass, set against layered greens and cool blue tones.

Tall stained glass windows inside the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Kraków, filled with flowing botanical forms, angels, and vivid blues, reds, and golds framed by ornate painted arches.

Where The Water Holds Its Breath 48 x 36 Winter production mode is in full swing. If you see me with a distant stare, don’t worry, I'm just rearranging rocks in my head #torilart #rockart #coastalpainting #festivalartist #winterproduction #originalart

A 48 x 36 mosaic-style coastal painting of deep blue and turquoise water swirling around dark, jagged rocks. Warm rust and coral tones highlight foreground stones, with evergreen trees along the shoreline beneath a bright blue sky layered with white clouds.

This guy was just too beautiful not to share twice today. Day 23 of my #ArtAdventCalendar gets a second post because sometimes one look isn’t enough. Acrylic on Canvas #torilart #birdart #wildlifeart #painting #artistonbluesky #natureart #bluebird #animalart #contemporarypainting

A detailed painting of a small blue-and-rust-colored bird perched on a mossy branch against a deep black background.

Day 23 of my #ArtAdventCalendar 🎨 A peek at a work in progress - still finding its way. Layer by layer, this forest & water scene is coming together. I love sharing these in-between moments as much as the finished pieces. #torilart #artistonbluesky #landscapeart #waterreflections

The scene shows dark evergreen trees rising behind large, rounded rocks dusted with white highlights, beside a body of blue and turquoise water filled with layered reflections. Bright yellows and cool blues contrast with deep shadows in the forest.

Today is #InternationalMigrantsDay. Sharing two paintings from my series Divine Ambiguity—made to honor the strength + humanity of migrant families. Everyone deserves safety, dignity, and home. #Caged #TheImmigrant #ArtMatters #HumanRights #ImmigrationJustice #Activism #torilart

A tall vertical painting of a parent holding an infant close to their chest. The parent’s face is drawn with strain and exhaustion, looking down at the child. One hand holds a baby bottle; the other supports the child. Both parent and child wear striped clothing. A sweater is tied around the parent’s waist. Behind them, a decorative background of blue, gold, and white floral patterns surrounds a gold halo around the parent’s head, giving the image a sacred, iconic feel. The overall mood is protective, tender, and filled with emotional weight, suggesting the struggles of migration and survival.

A painted portrait of a young boy seen through a chain-link fence. His hands grip the fence wires at both sides, and his expression is sad and distant. He wears a blue and white striped shirt. Behind him is a dark background filled with colorful floral patterns in yellow, green, orange, and white. A gold circular halo surrounds his head, suggesting innocence or sanctity. The fence creates a visual barrier between the viewer and the child, emphasizing themes of confinement and vulnerability.
