Well, human resources is looking into it and hopefully it will get resolved soon. I'm a healthy person so I can wait. No one else seems to have experienced this, which is what I was wondering . It is a weird catch-22 Update: according to the IRS, while marriage certificates are usually enough, you can be required to show a joint tax filing, which finally got approval. So things that weren't accepted: marriage certificate, ss#, co-ownership of house, bank statement

Clarification: I took my husband's last name so my driver's license, ss# and passport don't match my birth certificate.

I finally finished the Asaro head assignment. I can definitely recommend stretching your drawing paper. I have a tendency to draw fine, sharp lines and the paper softens them to give a more painterly affect, which I like. Also, you can get a lot of precision, especially with the eraser. Now I mutter to myself when I have to erase something in my notebooks.. downside is the extra time involved. Also, I think I'm supposed to varnish it now. #MastoArt #FediArt #drawing

Two brushfires less than 5 miles away from my house this afternoon, and I just realized we forgot to pack our "go-bags" for this fire season..just a reminder to pack your emergency bag if you live in a fire-prone area (and it seems like that's pretty much everywhere at this point)

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social Your work is much appreciated, and I am amazed by your energy!

@Tamami@mastodon.art I'm not sure I understand what aphantasia is--does this mean no visual memories? I don't know what you call it, but my son cannot picture places in his mind. Is this aphantasia?

@JoBlakely Beautiful work! She reminds me of my late mentor Dr. Larry Ward, a poet, who said that all artists must rise to this moment, that it is our sacred duty to be the light in these dark times

@dougrutherford@mastodon.art I thought that was cad yellow. I also use burnt sienna and ultramarine to get nice neutrals to tone down the brighter warm colors. Thank you!

@deerbard beautiful details!

@dougrutherford@mastodon.art I like the dramatic warm tones you’ve used in your morning landscapes and was wondering if you’d share what colors you are using. I’ve been experimenting with making watercolors from natural pigments and even dye plants (weld) but I’m trying to avoid the cadmium pigments.
