Molly Zuckerman -Hartung

Here’s two more contrasting paintings posted to Instagram on the same day.

One explodes into space - the other traps it.

Yang and Yin.

Here’s two more paintings that appeared on the same day in December 2025:

Molly Zuckerman Hartung,  48 x 60 ???

Emily Rapport,  11 x 14, watercolor

Both are playing wildly within a grid,

Here’s work in progress by Bruce Thorn.

Yet to see the actual piece,

but on a computer screen, I do prefer the earlier version (top)

before he worked it down to the cellular level.

Liliane Tomasko 

Pairs nicely with what follows.

Both feel like thrilling views of the world.

Above: indoors. A self is at center

Below: a seaport? Wind, sun, motion

Ronnel Reese

Young man,  probably self taught. 

May or may not be familiar with Kandinsky.

Work picked up when he ditched the figure.

David Sharpe, Going  Home 2nd version, 29 x 30, 

  2026,

The vertical left and the horizontal right enhance each other.

Torsten Trantow, b. 1975 Germany

Oh for a peaceful, well ordered life

Jack Lord

Really like all these fired up neurons,

but Jack posts them so often  

I had to stop following him.

Kippi Leonard

Background in interior design while

CV has nothing about art school.

I like the feeling of effort and resilience.

Feels like the aerial view of a city

Bruce Thorn

Could be the background of the best Tibetan Thangka painting I’ll ever see.

Fire energy

under control 

but just barely
