Finally made it to the Diego Rivera show at #SFMOMA before it closes next month. It was exciting to see his original inspirations come alive through his sketches

@TinaThePerson it’s fine to be inspired by others, but I wanna find clarity around my OWN inspirations— to trust the spark ⚡️ within me

I’m inspired to fill my #naturejournaling sketchbook with TEK -traditional ecological knowledge. Betcha I can locate all these native plants right in #sf https://openspacetrust.org/blog/indigenous-language/

The Ohlone gave the name “Toyon” (Heteromeles arbutifolia), which is the ONLY California native plant which is STILL identified by its indigenous name. I would like learn more about the first names given to CA native flora. I painted this from the gorgeous specimen found at my local park, Cayuga Terrace. Look for the finely-toothed elliptic leaves, and the bright red berries with the star bottoms--like tiny apples

@nwchapman ya feel me!! 🤠 I used to drag my toe while braking and scuff up my left shoe; I found myself doing this today lol

My 70s kid, bike riding spirit washed over me today. All day, all day: banana seat, rubber band around my bell bottom, playing card slapping the back spokes

🚴‍♀️ From Great Hwy up to Land’s End. My body is remembering all the fun stuff I used to do on a bike when I was a kid growing up in the 70s.
