I didn’t make it to the studio today to paint. I had an important event to attend at what is called Democracy Corner in Huntington, NY.

This was my sign. I created this composition using Photoshop. The lettering is Arial Black, using, of course, the color black (hex: 000000) and an obnoxious red (hex: ffoooo). By adding a drop shadow, the lettering popped a bit from the plain white background (hex: ffffff). The three flowers at the top are my own artwork that I captured from flowers in my garden. I printed the posters on my Epson SC-P900 printer using 13×19” Epson Presentation matte paper with the “Epson SC-P900_700 Ultra Premium Presentation paper matte profile” at 1440 resolution and Rendering intent set to Relative Colorimetric and Black Point Compensation.

I mounted the poster to white matboard with a spray adhesive. Then attached these to a piece of pine wood I had from a garden trellis project. I duplicated the mounting process on the reverse side so it could be seen by more viewers. I used clear shipping tape to bind the front and back posters together in respect for the wind. This made the poster project sturdier. The poster was well received with many nods of the head, and thumbs up, by others gathered at these four corners.

These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and  Poughkeepsie, NY.
