Normally I’m fairly indifferent about meme coins but I’m beginning to think this could be bad for normies who are trying to understand bitcoin.

Yuułuł (Ucluth Beach) by Mark Penney 24x36" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas (private collection) Nice to pass by a familiar painting in a flattering light once in a while. #artstr #art #fineart #painting #grownostr #themarkpenney #beach

This painting has left the studio, it went to collectors who are new to bitcoin. ʔiiḥatis (Big Beach) by Mark Penney 24x48" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas #proofofwork #btc #grownostr #artstr #painting #sold #zapathon

GM Nostr Artists 🌅 I'm starting a few small works this morning. Typically, I work with canvases from 24x36” up to 40x60”, but these smaller pieces can make lovely gifts and are perfect for those who don't have space for larger artworks. Get after it today! #nostrartists #proofofwork #artstr #wip #studio #painting #grownostr #gm 🌟

My gf doesn’t think this is funny, however she does agree that it’s at least witty, in the stoic sense. #stoic #humour #nostr #seneca #lol #grownostr

Part of being an artist is promoting yourself and your work but it doesn’t come easily for me or many artists. Today I find myself working on a short bio for a painting I’m donating to a charity. Here’s what I have so far and a photo from yesterday’s walk Mark Penney is a well-regarded Canadian artist celebrated for his deep connection to the west coast of Vancouver Island. His work often reflects the breathtaking landscapes and rich experiences of British Columbia’s coastline, capturing its natural beauty and essence. #introductions #nostr #nature #art #themarkpenney
