  1. Totem, a Border Collie/Akita mix, smiles in a dashing purple bandana among pale lavender, and that friendly look feels like a small, hopeful hello.

    "Totem Smiles in Lavender." I still miss her every day.

    I love how the purple ties the scene together and how the pose suggests a pause after play rather than stiffness.

  6. A thin ribbon of light skims the shore at Herring Cove as the evening settles into deep blues & grays.

    I saw how that narrow glow pulls the eye without shouting, a simple question stretched toward the horizon.

    I call it "Cape Contrast," and on our site I host three other artists whose work stands beside this piece.

    Tell me, what catches you first — the dark foreground or the molten line of light?

  11. "Pastoral" offers an open pasture on a sunny day, just as we imagine it to be. A weathered fence draws the eye toward a layered treeline.

    Here I feel one of my images approaches the POV of Janet Dyer's beautiful paintings, which we also host.

    I like the feeling of space and order, with little details—a broken post, a faint path—that make the scene feel lived in.

    Where would you hang it?

  16. "WE ARE THE GRANDDAUGHTERS OF THE WITCHES YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO BURN" proclaimed into a washed sky. I loved the punch of pink around key words and the small all-seeing eye.

    "END GUN VIOLENCE," "NOT ENOUGH SAGE IN THE WORLD," "SAVE OUR KIDS," and fierce faces that turn wry and unmistakably human. Urgency mixed with stubborn, playful defiance lingers like an earworm on your eye.

  17. John Cusack would SAY ANYTHING. We say what we must.

    A placard reads ABOLISH ICE against the brick facade of a detention facility in Elizabeth, NJ.

    I share it because it names what happened: families separated and children held alone. The message is plain, urgent, impossible to ignore.

    If it sparks a question or a conversation, we welcome it. chrisboese.photo/warehouse-ope

  18. In what world is this even remotely controversial? And yet we must make the case, and let the little child lead us.

    The child in a white lab coat holds a hand-lettered sign that makes you grin: "Without Science, Bill Nye would just be 'The Guy.'"

    His mother carries a fluorescent yellow poster that reads "Thank you Science for my Greatest Gift: Proud IVF Mom."

  20. A dense crowd presses with urgency along a Manhattan block, placards rising through winter hats and scarves.

    One sign anchors the scene, a printed portrait beside a stark emblem with the word FASCIST in heavy type, held in a gloved hand near a pointed arrow.

    This image is a conversation starter, not an answer, one voice among many.

  21. Plain and urgent: ACT NOW OR SWIM LATER.

    This piece puts bold block letters on a clean field, a cut-blue wave across the lower third, as a hand holds the placard steady.

    It's a practical warning—clear, direct, communal. I picture it on a wall where decisions get made, the kind of image that starts conversations without shouting.

  22. A hand-lettered sign asks the famous question, "At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

    Literate protesters invoke the McCarthy hearings with a steady gaze and simple, urgent clarity. Pink knit hats punctuate the close, human frame around the message. Insistent, plain and direct.

    When will we get the action this got from the McCarthy hearings?!

  23. Fluorescent-pink, blunt, and impossible to ignore. The hand-lettered black message reads "OLD Pussies RISE UP and RESIST," equal parts humor and insistence.

    Creases, uneven letters, and glimpses of wool hats and white hair make the moment feel lived in, not staged.

  25. Sometimes the right art is less about matching a room and more about choosing a message that keeps folks who use the room motivated.

  26. A marcher at the 2017 Washington, DC Women's March holds a hand-lettered sign that reads "OUR BLOOD IS BOILING OUT OF OUR WHEREVERS."

    Red letters cut through a muted winter park while the marcher’s calm smile turns heat into steady resolve. Notice how blunt public declaration and quiet human steadiness sit together here.

  27. It's not about "Mother's Day," per se. It's about art that speaks to the daughters and granddaughters of the witches the Puritans weren't able to burn.

    This image doesn't know what holiday it is. It just knows there's "Not Enough Sage" to clear out that Trump Baby balloon. Long after the day is over, this will still be on the wall (clearing the bad mojo!).

  28. A line of neighbors along a sunlit road in Palmer, Alaska: flags, bold signs, and mountains keeping watch.

    This is "Red State Resilience: Alaska No Kings Protest," because it captures the mix of resolve and everyday life so clearly. The steady procession gives the scene a quiet, insistent energy that feels immediate and human.

  29. A bold call: "THINK while it is still legal." A powerful visual statement to nudge critical thinking.

    The sky-blue sign reads like a moment pulled from the crowd—urgent, a little wry, impossible to ignore.

    Put this where conversations happen: a hallway, a study, or the place where friends drop in and linger. Where would you hang it? Who in your family most needs this message?!

  30. I love this sunlit moment from the #NoKings protest in Palmer, Alaska, a town born of a New Deal resettlement program.

    The protester stands with a hand-lettered sign quoting a 1930s colonist with an American flag on a rough stick propped over one shoulder.

    It feels like a short conversation between the past and present, about community and who benefits.

  31. Neon green stops the winter, inauguration protest crowd for a split second.

    At the 2017 Women's March on Washington a man holds a sign that reads "Tinkle Tinkle Little Czar, Putin put you where you are."

    I liked how the nursery-rhyme rhythm turns a sharp jab into something sly and memorable while the crowd gives the message weight.

  32. This fluorescent pink placard stops you in the frame, the hand-lettered line, "OLD Pussies RISE UP and RESIST," reading like a shouted rallying cry.

    Creases, bundled hats, and a white-haired profile suggest a close, determined crowd that mixes sharp humor with steady insistence. We're sharing this piece because it blends that wit and resolve so plainly.

  33. We talk a lot about love in February, but it’s just as important to turn a little of that inward.

    Take a moment today to show yourself some appreciation — whether that’s a walk, a quiet pause, or simply enjoying “Exercise your Empathy.”

    A little self-kindness goes a long way.

  40. "Old cars shore up the bank of the Knik River in Alaska"

    Old cars used to prevent erosion of the bank of the Knik River near Eklutna, Alaska have now become part the root system of the riverbank, with a mature birch tree growing out from under the vehicle's missing hood
