... Do not let my painting turn you off from this film, run and watch it now! I'll likely post more paintings inspired by this movie in the coming days as I try to work this put of my system.

Where I am, it's avaliable on TUBI.

Yesterday, I had a bunch of breakfast foods like bagels, cream cheese, etc. delivered to my office so that I could at least take better care of myself. There's only one place open nearby at that time of the morning and it's crazy expensive.

My son has had a change in his work schedule that means he has to go to work at 7 am - we're a one car family, he's my ride, so that means I have to go to work almost 2 hours early. I have never been a morning person. I am a late night person, not to mention an introvert that needs ...

I hate Amazon as much as the rest of you do, but they have sold so few print copies of my book, that they've discounted it down to $3.66. 😬 You can't really go wrong at that price. 🥴 I worked really hard on it, and just wish more people would read it. 🥲

This particular piece really inspires me and I tried making a monoprint similar to this one.

I was inspired to paint this very scene not long after the inauguration, when all the current tomfoolery began. It's how I process everything that's happening ...
Watercolor depiction of Christopher Plummer ripping up Nazi flag in Sound of Music. He has a beige suit on against a background of Grey. It says "Remember Canadians, if you see it, tear it down."

Turkey curry for dinner which I guess I'm eating by myself because son got fast food and mom misunderstood my sheer exhaustion for grumpiness and made herself a plain turkey sandwich on plain toast. More for me and and least there's some veggies in there. Pumpkin pie for dessert. ❤️❤️❤️

50+ years old, still can't spend 5 precious minutes alone in my room without a parent or (adult) child just barging in. Or someone knocking on bathroom door. Or a pet clawing/barking/meowing under door. Sigh. Im grateful for them all, but sometimes you just need a breather. #GenX #sandwichgeneration

Weather, weather-related words, catastrophe-related words, death-related words do not exist in the Newspeak of the Superstate. We must only be happy and think about happy things.
