Watercolor portrait of the royal formerly known as Prince Andrew ( I guess they still call him that, huh...) His chubby royal face is on the right side of the paper, he is nervously giving a sideeye to his right. What will come out next about my naughty activities, he must wonder... As recently seen on BBC Newsnight, Andrew Windsor will face the music as a private citizen. Watercolors, Derwent w/c and Inktense pencils and gouache on 140 lb. Fabriano 1264 watercolor paper. 14x9.5" This is a portrait I did in 2022.

surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity

My new 'crumb-catcher' neck warmer with two buttons from the fabulous stash of polyclay buttons that @mjcrochet.bsky.social made for me. #crochet pattern is corner to corner and the yarn is 24/7 cotton.

Dark teal and olive green (weird combo, yeah, but I think it works here!) crochet neck scarf laid out on a periwinkle quilted spread. The scarf is folded over itself so it forms a point that forms over low sternum. Two colorful polyclay spiral buttons hold the scarf in this folded position. I call it a crumb catcher, haha on me. The crochet pattern is "corner to corner" and the yarn is cotton 24/7 and is maybe dm weight.

The orange voovoo pincushion , sitting on a mirror which shows double the pins thus double the fun. Background to left is an innocent green turtle crocheted pincushion, filled with sharps for convenience.

🤭 ❤️ This brilliant pin cushion by @mjcrochet.bsky.social A reserve of straight pins is nearby so I can *precisely* pierce whilst fondly murmuring obscenities and profane wishes for the stinky orange faced rat bastard who this voodoo doll, erm, pin cushion, resembles. #crochet #dolls #voodoodolls

A bright orange sort-of round, crocheted pin cushion that has two pins (so far) in it on the top. It has scant comb-over style yarn strands for hair, ears that stick out (especially the one on the LEFT) beady eyes under blonde eyebrows, a blobby nose and pink protruding lips/orifice with two rows of "teeth" There is also a long, red tie dangling down. I confess to yelling fond profanities and obscenities at this as I pass by it.

Numerous volunteer catnip plants in my Irish Moss patio; time to dry catnip! Some of the leaves are nearly as big as my hand. Good project for the day before #Caturday

Stone and Irish moss patio with a round plastic screen dehydrator layer. The dehydrator grid is covered with catnip leaves, a few of them are nearly as large as my hand! A stem of catnip off to the side. Note: you can't see them in the photo but I had to battle little ants when snipping leaves from stems, the plants are just beginning to bloom and the ants are v interested in that.

"Hungry!" 8x10" oil WIP study for a larger version. The reference pic is us sitting at a pub table in NH, USA, waiting on some late fam members so we could order FOOD. #oils #wip #hungry #oilpaintings

Oil painting study, 8x10", on small wood easel on the right. Reference photo on the left. The reference and study show five people sitting at a pub table, (waiting for family to arrive to order FOOD) fou of us are holding up plates either biting the plate, holding it up, empty, or scraping at the empty plate with a spoon. Beers and iced tea glasses are on the table as well as a plate that previously held chips and salsa. Elderly woman focal point in bkgd, she's turned and speaking to someone who is hidden behind one of the subjects. :)

One month gone, Chitra was with us for twenty years! Sweet ChiChi, I miss you so, SO much. I'll see you again when I 'go the trip.' #cats #RIP #pets #Caturday

Chitra, the tabby girlcat, nestling in a crinkly lime green tunnel toy, backlit so she glows. Big green eyes giving me "that look" that said she was the boss of me. (She was)

Stress baking #ciabatta today 🤭

Four golden baked loaves of ciabatta bread, just out of the oven and resting on a wire baking rack. Blue and white striped towel underneath.

The water coming out of any faucet gives a surprisingly wicked static shock at our house.

Craving piped-on whipped cream now for some odd reason 🤣 #winter #rivers #snow #iPhonephotography #trees #Maine

Winter view of the Presumpscot River, Maine, through a jumble of fallen, big oak trees. A ribbon of snow on the center tree appears as if it is piped on like whipped cream from a canister.

Two tiny, broken figurines made an exact fit. The duck und the maus (mit seasoning) in oils on a scrap of canvas... a 4x4" study, so eentsy, quick and fun. Oh, what music was on while I was working, you ask? Elliot Smith XO #oilpainting #painting #oils #art

4x4" scrap of canvas, taped to a board. Painting of a cobbled together tiny repaired figurine of a mouse body with a duck head glued onto it; sits in front of the painting of it and has tiny salt and peppers behind it. Foreground is a neutral tan and background is dark viridian mix.

Want a pair of those specs! ❤️👓

I will come see you if you follow me back 😂

I saw a reddit post with a pattern for these… are you a kinittah?!

Chitra, our quite-senior girlcat, is assistant char lady today. She judges and MrrroWs the precise moment when the flames go to glowing coals. 😭 (oh, but that floor level cross-wind in our old New England farmhouse is brutal in this cold snap)

American tabby cat, Chitra, (20 years old gal), sitting right in front of a jotul fireplace insert with her feets and arms tucked under her. Looking in the direction of the camera, she has a judging look because of the cold.

Bette Davis, late in life and looking haggard made up as Baby Jane, quaffing a juice glass of liquor. Desperate look in her eyeliner-ringed eyes. Just like me today

This pic is from another era, 2011, when Maine reliably got lots and lots of snow. Sigh, yesterday we got mayyybe 3" and the sun is sublimating it steadily. Times change, eh. #climatechange #snowman #snowwoman #winter #maine

Two snowman busts in a pile of snow with trees behind them. Left, a Snow Buffoon with a cap pulled over his smallish cranium, a huge schnozzola and pursed lips, ready to quaff his tankard of weak ale. Right, Val Kyrie, his dame, ignores him, her nose in the air. Long side braids trail down from her hair.

#Ivanka, ever her sire's desire, in 2020 published a photo of herself with a can of beans. My sketch is from 2022, but those beans had expired in '21. That can's got to be so *ripe* by now💥 🫘🫘🫘

#comrade #RodeoClown #shill #HellisEmpty #HeroesandHeels #art #watercolors #sketches #portraits

Face and hands of the Ivanka character flutters her false eyelashes, shows her porcelain veneer teefs and brandishes a gooey, about-to-explode can of Goya black beans at the camera. (label says they expired in 2021, ha ha little joke) She is wearing a butter yellow blouse, and a big gold colored necklace. Those beans ... who is going to spill them? Watercolors, gouache, Derwent w/c pencils and Inktense pencils on 140 lb. Fabriano 1264 watercolor paper. 12x9.5 inches.
