azaleas



I started painting in a back room on an old table with a chair sitting on top. I threw an old bedsheet on top of it all.  It made sense at the time for paintings to stand up. I needed space to spread out the supplies a bit. This was done March of 2019. I'm smiling because there are flowers and because it's a photo. I wasn't happy.

I am going to be around even if I'm not on your favorite social media platform.

https://linktr.ee/drock77 I am going to be on a few things. Bluesky, REDnote, and anything else new I can find. YouTube, Snapchat, and anything else not owned by Meta that I am already using. I will have my website and whatever other online presence that I can create. Anything but this. The more that I think about it the easier it becomes to walk away. No point in continuing to place energy into the negative space this has become in my life. There are a lot of times when I have had simple peaceful thoughts rejected by the platform. You all have seen some of the screenshots. Simple happy birthday and good morning wishes to people rejected from sharing with others. Restrictions on my account usage. Let’s remember folks that this is my second time building a Facebook audience. So why wait around? I will be here for as long as I can, but I will also not just sit and wait for fate to happen. I am a human being, both online and in person. As far as the latter goes you are invite...

Canvas Rebel: Meet Derrick R Kearney

Image
I sat down recently for an interview with Canvas Rebel Magazine. Check it out! Canvas Rebel: Meet Derrick R Kearney This year I turned 47. It's been notable for sure. I have remembered points of old, with decade anniversaries marking key events of my lifetime.  I've dealt with challenges, internally and externally. I have gained and lost loved ones. Hopefully, I have left an impact.  I do not know where my life will be during the next milestone year. Will I still be in this city? This state? This country? Will I work at the same job? Live with or without the same means of travel? How will my health be at that time? Will I even be here to ask? Or if so, in a condition to care?  Will there be anyone else around? I cannot answer those questions nor do I choose to worry about them.

K. W. McCabe - Interview with Artist Derrick Kearney

 Check this out! K. W. McCabe - Interview with Artist Derrick Kearney It's been a weird few months in my life. I am still adjusting to the changes. Leaving the sunsets of Pinellas County and returning to the sunrises of Duval County. Getting up before the sun each day to work out at the gym. Commuting downtown to either an office or a work site. Showing credentials saying that I work for the state. Then returning to an apartment complex that I left 20 years ago to share dinner maybe with a neighborhood stray cat.  It's actually nice to have a quiet life these days.  I have needed something to take my mind off of having surgery to remove the osteoma from my right ear. It took a couple of months to get from figuring out that something was wrong to get things made right again. Just before going under the knife, I gave an interview online to K. W. McCabe, a very talented writer who I connected with online. Click around her site a bit after reading.  https://kwmccabe.org/...
