Be advised: I edit my toots a lot. Almost all of it proofreading.

Ik roei, speel met kleine zeilbootjes #df65 of mijn #SpringerTug (beiden #rc) en soms met taal.
Fan van #linux (al ben ik er nu wat minder actief mee bezig). En als trouw luisteraar van #damnhoney zou ik me bijna #feminist kunnen noemen.
Sinds kort speel ik weer met een fototoestel. Resultaten zijn te zien op https://fotograaf.van.petrafenijn.nl/

Profile pic is me with my fluffy sheep Ruffles. Header is about a hundred sheep who decided to form a ring on the downs one day. I'm not that interested in sheep, really.

@[email protected]I'm an #artist north of #Boston, MA telling stories about light and atmosphere with oil paints. I draw inspiration from the coastline, salt marshes, and forests, #painting places that are both remembered and imagined.
Currently working on seascape paintings, landscapes inspired by springtime walks in the woods, and my marshlands series.
As a lawyer-turned-artist, I'm also slowly defacing my law dictionary with charcoal sketches.
