Don’t forget to leave water out for animals and to blame fossil fuel companies.

It’s 41 degrees here currently & the family of Magpies that spend time in our front yard are feeling it….open beaks, spreading themselves out on the grass….have just freshened up the bird baths, put the sprinkler on in the shade & opened the front door to allow the cooled air out.

'Sleeping Girl.' (1927) Just like Laura Knight, Dod Procter became well known in Britain in the mid-1920s after painting a series of portraits of young women using the fall of light across the figures to give a sense of volume; a style which shows her admiration for Giotto.

#Lego was the little something extra in Christmas Stockings this year as we always like an activity to work on together on Christmas Day, or the days that follow. Before Christmas these delightful kits were all out for under $20 ✔️🎄
Lego kit opened with instruction booklet open, pieces spread out on the tabletop and a pair of hands beginning to put pieces together. Tabletop with a Daffodils Lego Kit opened and the packages of pieces sitting next to the box. Finished Lego Kit of an aeroplane on a stand sitting on a table too. Almost finished (constructed) Toucan Lego Kit sitting on a table top. The Toucan is sitting on a stand with a wedge of watermelon on its beak and flower at its feet. Top beak part not correctly constructed (need to go back & work out the issue)

There’s twice as many utes as tradies in Australia. We need remove the luxury car tax exemption which incentivises people to buy megautes instead of safer, cleaner smaller cars and SUVs.

Also a great way to get over a grievance or clear your mind of something that is worrying you.

For years I’ve dealt with some of the nasty comments & emails I receive by writing completely unfiltered replies, telling the sender exactly what I think of them and their comment—then deleting them. Never sending.

Turns out this is an “amazing anger management technique.”

I will keep it up!!! 😎

The #incognitartshow has now revealed all participants so I am sharing my contribution to this fabulous fundraiser for art studios that support artists with disabilities. A departure in style for me, due to the incognito aspect encouraging me to do something different. These are not ‘pretty’ images…

Two men.
My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Washed out image from photo of the two gunmen 1 walking up stairs and 2 aiming gun. Words: “Two men. Not university students, lecturers, historians; not protesters, marching for peace and an end to the killing; not artists expressing solidarity over the killing of civilians, doctors, journalists, humanitarians… Two men. Full of hatred; radicalised; blind to humanity; with training, plans and a stash of legally obtained guns.
