Former President Obama brings his calm and steady leadership style to us once again to remind us of our power:

“It is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizen—who says, no, that's not right.”

March in SE Montana is gray and brown.
I needed to make some vivid art on my way to the end of this month.

Newest custom commissioned story-painting for a sweet baby named Isabel. Spring is coming.
www.dancingcowstudio.com
A watercolor illustration featuring a large Pysanky Ukrainian Easter egg, a royal residence birdhouse, and two indigo bunting birds decorating eggs in the Pysanky manner. Apple blossoms, ice flowers, and a dwarf iris bloom in the background, and a honeybee is flying past. Glass jars of colorful egg dye and a bit of honeycomb complete the scene, along with three smaller decorated eggs. The text on the large egg reads, "I is for imperial indigo buntings inscribing intriguing, iridescent intricacies on individual ibis eggs. Inspiring! I is irresistible when it's for Isabel!"

The temp in SE MT hit -11 F last night. It made me think of this custom-commissioned story-painting from a few years back. I have three more of these in the works just now, and am having fun "dictionary-diving" in the process. 😌
