Day 4, #artadventcalendar Spring Poppies, an oldie but goodie and my best selling art card. My late mother’s garden was a source of inspiration and this painting reminds me of her. She passed in 2023.

Day 3, #artadventcalendar This is Incoming! Mark Gray is a music teacher in Bonavista Newfoundland who let me use his photo of a puffin with a beak full of fish. I love puffins and their comical antics and wanted to convey that in my painting. Acrylic on canvas in 2025.

It’s December and time to post in the #artadventcalendar once again. To start off this years’ calendar I’m posting new art created in 2025. This is Linda’s Lillies, my first foray into watercolour. Thanks to @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca for organizing the calendar!

Anyone who thinks that Trump is going to sign a deal with Canada or make nice needs to wake up.
If he is willing to treat his own people with such reckless violence he won't hesitate to go after us.
Stay strong. Stay focused. Keep the boycott strong.

Ford isn’t well educated and it’s become too obvious to ignore. The Crown Royal stunt shows his hypocrisy as more and more Beer stores are shutting down.
When Canada's least educated Premier isn't jamming booze into every corner store he can find, he's busy with Grade 6 level performative art pouring it onto the sidewalk. Ontarians duly note it is really our hospitals, doctors, nurses, public schools and teachers he's dumping out onto the sidewalk.

I’ve never had much success with roses and this is so beautiful! Seeing pictures of flowers (and cats) 🐈⬛ put me in a good frame of mind for a Monday
Out in the garden this morning and caught some beautiful light on this beauty! Let the #bloomscrolling begin!💜💖💜
