How Fletcher was hatched!  By Wende & Harry Devlin. 1969
I have read this book since 1969 at least 3 times a year. It was/is my favourite children's book.
It's simple lovely story about a dog who feels neglected because of new chicks & two beavers help build him into an egg.
I don't want to spoil it for you... you can buy a copy online. I highly recommend you get your kids one. Especially if a dog lover. I'm making a tribute art on this book- why- because it makes me happy! 

When we moved in 2019 Fletcher got packed I to a box marked office that I JUST opened a couple of days ago along with 3 boxes of old McDonald toys (more on that adventure in a few days).. anyway - I have been missing Fletcher , just like in the book and when I saw it in the box I SMILED -like the Grinch! Got a coffee, sat & read, and looked over every cross hatched detail with fondness and good memories - this book provided peace.  

Opening up the boxes -especially the toys (I found a view master- yay) was a trip - every Disney movie, the ones Storm really enjoyed, the artwork - all fond memories... and I started to think - that's another LIE- toss your old stuff. Don't. 
I get you can't keep everything but many things I was aways told - your too ld for that now, get rid of it, clean your room toss things out.. Don't.  Opening a box- brought visual joy to my heart & by getting rid of everything - just like Negative Triggers'- you are eliminating Good triggers'!  How does a book make me feel all warm and fuzzy... why am I excited to tribute fletcher- because Im already excited with my idea, painting it, finishing it will be a joyful experience!

The craft idea I have for the tiniest Yoda ever (above)-I'm also excited! It's already amusing me thinking about people looking at it- I know they will, they won't be able to resist..wait & see. I bet you reading this when I post it will actively participate with my idea turned creation for tiny Yoda. I finally sorted 4 more boxes, Im on a mission - next bring me up the LEGO. I'm not getting rid of it- well some broken stuff I tossed but my goal is to reuse, repurpose! I have seen countless craft ideas online for old toys and I plan on coming up with a few of my own, so stay tooned.

Before I forget.. Do you use Ai for your business??? I just learned of a Canadian court case... in a nutshell:
The company used Ai to design the website, there was an error Ai made, someone sued the company...
The company said Ai made the mistake & proved, it did indeed make a mistake. STILL, the judge concluded it did not matter if it was Ai, it was the company who owns the website who is responsible for proving and making sure all
information is factual... so the owners of the company must pay out - because of Ai's mistake.
WOW.. so much for Ai assisting.  Ai is wrong.. Ai is intentionally being fed lies to confuse it....  how much can we trust Ai?
Watch the video Knowledge is power - you don't want to learn the hardware - Ai is wrong, sometimes. 

Don't toss everything, pack it up nicely, put it aside and in a few decades when you pull out that Fletcher book, and all those warm fuzzy memories flood your system bringing joy, you'll thank me.. I'll be on the next level (God willing) but you can still thank me. lol  Enjoy this day The Lord has made.

The Joy & importance of sketching.
The sketches you see here are in a big sketchbook where I just - sketch...  Ideas in my mind quickly, roughly sketched into a book that often turn into paintings like the one above -work in progress.  I often have sketches that are similar as I fine tune the look/details/oncept.  Sketching helps you think & processing emotions. It is a great habit to get into.

I do draw Jesus a lot. Jesus makes me happy, thinking about him& drawing him & watching (The Chosen)& READING about him -preferably in The Holy Bible.  Remember the movie The book of Eli? Strangly enough, I woke this morning thinking about that movie; created by the Hughes brothers- my brothers from another mother, lol.. Anyway - watch it, if you have not.  I recently read Ai firms are  destroying physical books.. books - all books including the bible.  Was that movie a prophecy? It sure appears so.  I LOVE physical books, just ask my KOBO.. I have had a couple but I always go back to the physical books as the kobo sits on a shelf collecting dust. Even though big books hurt my hands to hold and read, I figured out ways. I have many animation books, art books, art history, books on current situations, events, books on plant identification, trees, animals, histories & a few bibles.. I do not read fiction', I use to but I no longer have the time, I want to read truth- I want to read real history & yes - I absolutely do believe the bible is it.  I'm more convinced with the more I learn.   To think books might become a memory for some- in a society that is already alarmingly illiterate.. the less you know - they less you will complain. The less you know the easier you are to control. 1984 is another book I recommend, many read it in high school - re read it, I guarantee you will see it differently - all these decades later, once seeming fiction , now appears to be FACT - ask China or look into Flock Cameras. Have you also read about how Flock Cameras have already been abused by those said to protect us - the police, using Flock to track women they are 'interested in'.. Holy Flock! 

There really is so much going on that we are finding out- after the fact, after they have already started to destroy books, after they have already started installing these cameras EVERYwhere.  So.. back to sketching. While I sketch I think about all sorts of things, sketching comes easy for me and not much concentration is needed - as a matter of fact- I think - the less you THINK about your sketches- and just Go' the better they'll be. I often will look at sketches that have been turned into paintings and theres a tiny bit more 'life' in the sketches, more energy- maybe because I draw them so fast- the woman about sketched was about 10 minutes, now I'm on day two of painting her- You really have to let gouache dry (or use a hair drier) in between layers and the above 'wash' is just a first layer.  Sketching is PURE JOY  more of a workout for my minds that I often realize, while sketching- I'm also pondering.. details of the drawing and life.. Get into a habit of playing first - in a sketch book. 
Back to painting & then starting another sketch (shown below - you'll have to guess which one) 
​Enjoy this day The Lord has made!

Never seen mushrooms, like the one above!  It's amazing how many mushrooms I have not seen before.`
How many are there we are not even aware of?? 

Mushrooms feed us- provide nutrients, vitamins and are proven great for our brain & longevity.  Other countries have know this long before us. Growing up the only mushrooms I ever ate or saw were button, on pizza, in strew, sauces, or as a side dish - always button - NOW - we can at least purchase a few in the store but I suspect nothing like are found in asian grocery stores.  You can also grow them!  Wine caps in the garden are possible & fascinating to see - as if they appeared overnight!  I'm going out daily to watch a stinkhorn on the drive way- waiting for it to burst open.

This year - it seems there are more boldly coloured mushrooms in the forest - lemon yellow, bright orange and red.. still searching for a blue (I've seen them before) and an amanita, that's what I thought the above was but it's not.  I ate some Witches butter on the trail yesterday- it tasted like a tasteless (lol) rubbery gummy... I'll pass.  Do we even know the potential of some mushrooms - no.  Psilocybin mushrooms are rewiring the brain, healing it - you know it's true when a giant pharmacy just announced investing in psilocybin - 3.8 BILLION investment by Eli Lilly- they know it works,  & plan on marketing it to you for a cost- they will make more that 3.8 Billion back in no time, or they would not be investing and we all know it.  Just like cannabis- they won't give it to us naturally- as god intended- they are making it inso a nasal spray or pill or what ever.  What ever makes a profit.  I'm glad it's finally going to be offered to help, too bad it's been intentionally prohibited by governments who KNEW decades ago - it helped then too. 

God provides.  Gods natural medicine- here long before any company 'created; and profited from it- HERE provided by God for FREE.  I know people who use to hang out near farms to collect mushrooms that grow from cow pooh..lol FREE medicine - easy pickings. Free like the water they are trying to charge us for, every drop- including rain water that falls from the heavens -freely.  FREE like the sun they can now control and charge us for... Free the the forests we were given to explore and heal - now being charged and controlled.. Some Canadians shared they tried to go to some park in the states and found out it cost 'visitors' $100. each.  Free to be humans... did you know in London - they are banning people from standing around in pubs socializing. Seriously, no standing, you must sit. I can't even wrap my head around why anyone would tolerate this, or the reasoning behind it. Just one more way to kill tiny business.  

Were going out today with my camera, to try to capture the colours.. of course I didn't have it when I found several yesterday, my goal this season is to find a reishi mushroom which also have terrific medicinal benefits.  If you go into the woods today.. seek & hopefully you will find - either way it's a healthy way to spend a few hours - wandering in nature.
​I'll show the stinkhorn when it arrives!  Enjoy this day The Lord has made. 

I had a beautiful day yesterday... Carm (& her husband John) visited. Carm and I have been friends since grade 5! 
Grade 5!  Who knew.. God.  I pray that everyone is blessed with that one friend, the one who you make memories with,  g00d & bad.. yet, still remain friends decades later.  Carm & I were best friends  grade, 5, 6, 7 & 8 & then came high school and we choose to go to the same: York Memorial. We hardly had classes together but still remained friends. For college - we rarely spoke, each doing her own thing.  I was so familiar with Carm & her family, if I was ever 'in the area' I'd drop in, no notice...  No notice needed! I was ALWAYS, instantly welcomed in and within seconds I'd be drinking wine & ginger ale & eating home make salami, pickles- pickled mushrooms and more.  Carm might or might not have been there. lol I had   not just formed a bond with Carm but with her mom, dad & sister Rosanna, I still remember & am fond of our  conversations & visits.  

Off and On over the years.. Carm ended up being my maid of honour and Storm was her tiny ring bearer! It has been such a gift NOW, to have watched each others kids grow into aspiring, hopeful young humans. OMGosh, Carms baby girl is getting married.. What? Where does the time go?? & her son - is making his dreams come true, I've mentioned him before, he has amassed quite a YouTube following among other things... I must admit - I still see  Mark, the entertaining, funny smart boy that LOVED all things Disney - as much as I did/do.   To be able to watch someone from birth rise up on this journey... such a gift.

Carm arrived and not 5 minutes passed when no time appeared to have past between us at all, the last 10 years.  We chatted and chatted and caught up but hardly! We were both reminded, we don't always know what each other is really dealing with but it sure is nice to KNOW - there is someone we can reach out to who will hug back. Carm has been 'that one friend for me. I didn't always know it but I do now & I thank the Lord for putting us on each others path so long ago - with Mrs. Lockheart, I still remember her too, a great grade 5 teacher. We were initially brought together by our common failed math test. heeheehee. Here's to failure - friendship can be formed!

We walked the woods, the dogs too loved Carm & John.. lol - Carm has never had a dog and it's also a sign as to how she trusts me- when my ferocious appearing dogs charged to the gate to meet her. She knows to stand still and once they past the sniff test- the dogs knew- oh.. this is family.  They could smell the love between us.  Sense the energy... what a great day. We all agree,  we need to make this at least, a yearly visit.  I am already looking forward to the NEXT!  My prayer for all today is you find "that one friend' to share this journey with & cherish them and Thank The Lord for them and the day to enjoy each others company.

Jesus stargazing with a black bear. gouache on white 8x11. What a DAY today! 
First.. there's the conspiracy theory - the 7 seconds the earth does gravity and people & objects will float up & fall back. 
Yes, let's hope it's not true- we'll know soon enough - it happens at 10:33 am... moments away. All kidding aside I have read so many comments of people who actually booked today OFF work to stay home. Think what you want- you are entitled to do so - BUT, there have been so many conspiracy theories that have indeed come true. too many, more than I'd like to admit-  like baby eating Oligarchy & covid - a planned pandemic,  who knew they would be true.  So, yes - at this point I'm certainly NOT going to make fun' of anyone for  being concerned. 

Today there  is an eclipse! We should be able to see it around 12- 1 pm.   How exciting! I hope we see it as the skies are currently cloudy! The stars too are going to make a fantastic show- Storm took a photo the other night & I swear - I've never seen so many start! I'm definitely staying up tonight. I'm painting a loon for my roof, am trying to figure out the endless possibilities of how to create with foam. The forest is exploding with mushrooms this year- and were going out to take photos- mosquito protection in place!
Enjoy this day the Lord has made!! I hope no-one flys up and away.. :) 
I had a funny cartoon idea but forgot to draw it- it was a bunch of people mistaking the gravity fail - for the rapture- heehee as they all fall they unite with a world wide sigh., before the crash. Funny not funny.  
​

Praise Jesus!! - Unless your Coca-cola.  Have you seen the viral videos about Coca-Cola and the personalized cans?
Have you seen this guy who has proven Coca-Cola is.. bias, it appears they don't like Jesus. Deny Jesus and eventually Coca Cola will lose business and no doubts that is now happening.  Countless comments are calling for a Boycott of Coca-Cola - well in Canada NOW, that could have us charged - under Bill C-9 - so be careful what you post.. I am not calling for a boycott of Coca-Cola, no need... watch and see what happens when you deny Jesus Christ, they have laid the foundation to their own destruction - no need for me to encourage a boycott. This woman explains why she suggests a boycott, all valid reasons.     

Search: Coca- Cola controversy for a quick education about Coke.. Mexico is crazy about Coke and it's caused a serious health problem, easier to get than water. People are dying from too much sugar.  Death by Coke, not the white kind you inhale via a plastic straw. Imagine being addicted to Coca-Cola - I bet many are who don't even realize it.  See this town - addicted to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6MTIg15OpI

The examples they use - you can not print on the can, Jesus is good, Jesus is king - but it will print Jesus is evil.
The Devil can be king (on a can) - just not Jesus.  WTF?  We don't drink pop', have you read about ingredients & how much sugar you consume in a can of pop? Maybe you should stop for that reason alone.  Coke contributes an insane amount of POLLUTION - remember that when you feel guilty for using a plastic straw- you could not possibly use enough plastic straws that would even make a dent' compared the the plastic waste, caused by coke. All these things are serious issues - and it's not just Mexico. Coke has a disturbing history.. check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELu8y6eK-0g
No, I don't need to Boycott Coke, between the history & Jesus.. the company is on the path to destruction.. God won't be mocked... Coke blocking Jesus - I don't know about anyone else but I personally will go to lengths to avoid Coke & it's other products. Many will. All these videos exposing the truth - apparent has already effected Coke and they are making changes' to the WWW, I don't know- I'm not going to even check that out- it's just something to avoid, no hate, no anger-- no money being spent on anything by THAT company. Other items that I will avoid are:Beverage CategoriesCoca-Cola's offerings span various beverage categories, including:
CategoryExamplesSoft DrinksCoca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Barq's
WaterDasani, Smartwater, Ciel
JuicesMinute Maid, Simply Orange, Capri-Sun
Sports DrinksPowerade
Tea and CoffeeHonest Tea, Costa Coffee
Alcoholic BeveragesFresca Mixed, Jack Daniel's & Coca-Cola. 

The lord works in mysterious ways! What one does in evil - God will use for good - Wait & see! Coca-Cola NOT allowing Jesus Christ is King has made more aware!Why not Christ is King?! Jesus is good - the only possible reason is fear. Coke is actually fearful of Jesus & by not allowing it - they have exposed themselves on a mass level.. no need for boycotts, these companies are destroying themselves. Jesus would absolutely encourage you to drink: WATER. Water- liquid gold... something that's said to be an issue in the future, clean drinking water. Water - 0 sugar, 0 chemicals, o addiction.
Jesus is water, Jesus is life.. water is life, revelation 22.  Enjoy this day the Lord has made! Drink water.

Oh Piglet!  Not pooh... how could you!? 3rd entry in Mood.  

It didn't take Piglet long to go to the dark side... that's what happens when people don't prepare - they panic.  Some panic albeit prepared - so don't be too hard on yourself.  As the world burns Piglet feasts on Pooh. Hmmm, the irony of a piglet turning on pooh right now ..  Pigs turning on people' seems to be the plan. 

First, I have had and do still know a few friends' who are police officers, I have only ever been helped by the police - thank God, and all of them went above and beyond.  I don't agree with bashing' all police - that's like bashing all men, all women - or all nations, races over a few bad examples. A perfect example you can hear currently is 'hating all Muslims'.. No, I don't.  I have had and have friends that are Muslim and some of them aren't too keen on what's happening either. So I do not classify a group- by a few actions of others, BUT...

What's happening now and being shared on social media will NOT help the mindset of people towards  police -rather police abuse.  People are sharing how police are encouraging you to report hate... for example (real example) if you say to someone  "Go back to your own country!" - that can be construed as 'hate.  There are examples and police website encouraging you report hate. In the olden days (lol) that was referred to a 'squealing'.  The reactions seem pretty clear across the board- are you serious!?  We have car thefts at an all time high, we've all seen these small smashand grabs, home break ins, people being violently attacked for no reason by strangers, businesses dealing with all sort of itheft- LOOK at our LCBO stores... violence towards women has increased (reported by the police) and they don't know why.. phhhbt -  WHY!? Because it appears the police are more concerned with 'name calling and hurt feelings' than they are with true crime and violence.   Remember what I said yesterday.. all this has already happened in the UK and look how that's going. Remember the young man who police handcuffed because a LIAR told them he was calling them racial slurs?? You know the kid they had cuffed as he told them he had been stabbed- but the LIAR said he wasn't and they didn't believe him and that young man died.. or the man beheaded in public - there are TOO many of these stories to share.  The police are told what to do.

Snoopy & Woodstock get burnt, Mood sketchbook. Gouache on white.

The world is on fire and many suspect much of it has been intentionally set.  Starting fires is a serious crime that should get someone serious jail time, if not life - intentionally setting fires. The loss of life and destruction fires are capable of from humans to creatures, homes and land.. forests will come back eventually, like our forest do now every year. 

The RCMP said some fires were started intentionally in Canada, people starting fires is one thing but then there are fires around the world  happening and many suggest they too are started intentionally,  sinisterly by the NWOligarchy, who want to force people off land and into 15 minute cities so they can... own the land. The people saying this also provide all sorts of into, videos, images, gov documents.. etc to back it up (not AI). I'm still amazed how few know that it is very much a thing 'that can be done - setting fires with lasers from space & weather modification - FFS- A COMPANY is NOW promoting 'selling sunlight' to people - anywhere in the world (guaranteed) for a cost. SELLING SUNLIGHT >> click here to order yours. & some think they can't start fires? Educate yourself.  There are fires around the world currently.. some absolutely do appear very suspicious.  Forests can heal themselves... humans, animals, loss of livelihood, homes - not so much.   IF a fire is set intentionally by anyone, they should be held accountable.

Speaking for forests, I walked the forest! Several times, me and the girls, at night in the dark and it was very cool - it was blithesome!! The girls never left my side, actually Poppy & Ginger had their private chauffeur Norm in his forest buggy on the way home, I never ride in it... I knew someone who died from being tossed out of a golf cart, a lesson I wish none of us ever learned. Nope, I walk. I walk! & by the grace of God- with NO pain, up and down hills, over stumps, a dog on each side for protection (Arrow insists) - Thank You Jesus! Cannabis & Psilocybin - walking through the forest. Storm actually surprised me with a campfire.  He's been cleaning up the forest and we walked out, Norm was already there & it was a lovely evening had by all. Cleaning the forest, cutting down dead trees, clearing the paths.. has also been very beneficial to Storm physically - he's never been so fit, Norm too actually.  I was quite amused to watch the two & had a moment - Storm is now the one cutting & clearing as his dad stood and watched - lol. Norm taught him well, chainsaw skills, safety etc & now experience. 

Did you know: California is trying to tell water well owners to pay for the water- they take from their wells.  YEP... you drill the well, pay for it, maintain, pay for a meter to read & pay for the water you take out of your well, on your property...   You might be saying, what does it have to do with us.. wait & see. Things I read about happening in the UK, Australia.. happen here month, years later & trust me when I say - I hope that is not the case with a few things happening now.  Either way- knowledge is power & when you know you can prepare, it's amazing the things you can learn online, I learned how to make water from sunshine by accident and after researching - it can be done, easily. Do you know how? Don't you think it's an important skill to know.. more important than watching your favourite soccer game? Take some time to teach yourself some basic, important skills. 

We're heading out to the forest again, Ginger needs the exercise the most. I can't physically help but it's enjoyable to watch, ponder the possibilities and just to be surrounded by trees, never have I been so appreciative of trees as we witness the world wide devastation of such awesome green giants, intentional or not.. it's sad to see, worse to live though -
​Enjoy this day The Lord has made- GO hug a tree. 

Kermit has moved from Tea. Tiny sketchbook - 1st entry gouache (of course)

I was in bed pondering news and events... and felt so frustrated, I opened a new sketch book and considered calling: Vent
Or: Editorial Enlightenment, Coming Soon.. and Current mood.  Mood' it is.  Kermit is in the mood for something slightly stronger as he watches out his window.  Who feels the same? Many are feeling very moody these days.

The awful thing about the internet is we can see what's happening around the world - the amazing thing we can see what's happening around the world and realize, we are not alone... around the world. We are all in the same boat- watching the same boats, sink. I had to do something because keeping it in - does not help.. so out it comes - onto a sketch book. So far there is a running theme, stay tuned and you will figure it out.  I watched a grown man cry today - feeling helpless, he's doing everything right from what I could see, yet he was overwhelmed - no shit Sherlock...  Fires, Corporate corruption, private equity, Ai take over, Big & bigger Pharma, Trans agenda, tax exhaustion. Canadian call to prayer' halted only a couple of weeks ago has now been permitted to proceed by police. Will we bring back The Lords prayer to schools while we're at it? Call to prayer has been permitted and Canadians have started to be warned - sharing the Holy Bible ' can have you charged with Hate Speech'.  Hate speech.. for sharing the Bible, The Word of God.  Drawing some things helps me  think about them more critically, calmly. Wait till you see Piglet & Pooh, Snoopy makes an appearance too. 

Anthony Fauci fears for his life... you don't say!?  The 5th is a joke in this case and apparently the judge agrees.
 Him pleading the 5th over the colour of his tie is a smack in the face to every American -actually, his LIES spread far beyond American borders. So.. apparently to congress grilling AF, there was no "research" about social distancing, no wonder all the politicians were partying, as the rest of the world was in lockdown, kept 6 feet apart- watching our loved ones die alone & afraid.  Masks did not work and they knew that too.   Hahaha jokes on the peasants.  Children did NOT need to stay home from school and they (we all) are suffering NOW for it. The vaccine did not help- it did not stop transmissions or prevent anyone from getting covid or even dying from it, if anything  it is being proven it harmed more than helped... don't believe me - believe the countless vaccine injured now permitted to file - for aid, believe the studies now out with real numbers - the alarming skyrocketing cancer- I wonder what that's from? The kids- having strokes in record numbers for the first time in history..  The dead don't speak... well they kinda do - with all sorts of strange clots and anomalies... and he's gonna plead the 5th - over his tie colour, yes, no doubts he is concerned for his safety. Elon is after him... GOOD. Yes, he will be held accountable, the show much go on and pretending to punish the parasite - will keep the peasants peaceful..for now.  As Morris found out- now that he can't plead the 5th- more will become enraged, rightfully so. Oh, and al the new members of society - not fitting as well as anticipated-  few of them were ever vaccinated.

Let's not forget all who lost their jobs, family & friends.. it's taken me a bit - but the "friends" I lost, who wanted the unvaccinated to be punished & to perish' - were never the sort of friends I want anyway.  I still speak to some  who had negative remarks about my: please, don't get the jab stance..  but it's hard to forget people who called you 'stupid  or not educated or a conspiracy theorist nut'. I've decided to just keep some stuff to myself because you can only lead a horse to water & pray he drinks. 

Anyway - as ART does, especially art created with heart- as these tiny editorials are.. I felt better after my sketching frenzy, 6 were created, I don't flip ahead to see what I drew- I only am reminded when I paint one & turn the page. After I paint & ponder more, I feel even better. Hopeful even.   My second entry was painted watching the birds.. getting ready to defend their seed supply.   What fun it is to create.  Enjoy this day The Lord has made!

Breezy Bear. Gouache 6 x 6   
I painted this bear at 10 pm imagining the forest- which we were able to finally get into! Horay!  My knees no more painful than usual arthritis. I didn't want to think - too tired, I just wanted to paint & I was already inspired by a lesson I had with Ruth Wilshaw.

There are many that offer online lessons & countless free lessons on YouTube - I found this one that also ponders the bible & love it. Copying the Master.. check it out.  I first was introduced to Ruth on a Domestic Course.  Since then, I've taken her lessons on YouTube and odd her site. Each month she uploads more with bonus material.   I spend more on lessons now, than I use to spend on wine. I find each one an investment. 
Below are image lessons, I usually watch the short versions because I have enough experience to figure things out, occasionally the long as I paint along. It is a fantastic way to relax, learn and become better at your preferred skill. It is gouache' but I use the same lessons with acrylic.  Today I am painting a forest scene including mushroom photos I took yesterday - I did not even make to to the bridge and found 6! 

Art supplies can be expensive & it can discourage some from proceeding, I know.  Every now and then I come across comments that praise a product and after a while, I wanted to find out for myself. Meeden Art supplies are all over social media and one reassuring comment was - these gouache are exceptional for the price.  They are affordable - 48 tubes for about $35. Canadian. With an extensive color arrangement for those not yet skilled in colour mixing - off the bat- I did not like the turquoise... only one colour disappointment so far is pretty good. 

The bear above was drawn intentionally to test- with a  sharpie to  how the paint worked.  I've since used it all week & the results are in... yes, I would encourage beginners to start with this kit. It covers well.  When you dry it between layers - it works like regular more pricy gouache.
Colours blend lovely with each other, it dilutes nicely with water, consistent. It re hydrates great- that's an important key to gouache, it cleans up nicely... and bright bold colours can be achieved- remember to let your layers DRY in between to avoid mudding. I've added a tiny hair hair dryer to my desk because I am impatient.  The negative (if that) side is I found they dry a bit 'chalky and take a bit more work to get results like I get with N & N gouache -my preferred paint. I use them now for lessons & warm ups the shades can be off- it's the actual lesson that matters and in my sketch books (below), my lesson books I can look back on to remind myself how the look was achieved.  You know- you have a tendency to explore a bit more when not paying $22 bucks for a tube of orange! There's that too. 

I read yesterday & was thrilled an actual art supply store opened in Minden! What took so long? It has amazed me here -in the heart of creating beings the woodsthere isn't an art supply store. You can find miss matched stuff here & there  but a dedicated store!  There is NOW. Yippie.   The Artist Pantry in Minden www.artistpantry.ca  sounds right up my alley! I look forward to checking them out soon,  I like how they also carry like-minded snacks. They are near Kawartha Dairy & If I have not already mentioned- You should try The Tragically Chip! Their peanut butter chocolate is tasty too, the guys LOVE the Grape.   So - no excuses- if you want to try gouache' start with these.. take some lessons- more on that tomorrow.

Enjoy this day The Lord has made! Create your own joy.  Learn how to paint! Learn to create your own calm.

He who feared that he would not succeed sat still.  `Horace

Doesn't that sound lovely- Latin sounds lovely, to me. I'm also reminded of Gods gifts - like a friend who speaks Latin! 
A friend shred he was attending a latin mass & I thought that sounded wonderful, it also inspired my Frog... sitting still. 
Fear does that, keeps many from even trying. If I had a dollar for every time someone said "I could never draw that..."
 - so they never even attempt- I'd be rich. TRY!  Do not let fear keep you from joy.

I encourage Cannabis for pain, Psilocybin for pain and clarity, peace.. depression but the best thing by far  has been my art. ART has always been incredibly helpful & healing. It's never too late to try. I've read numerous accounts on painting tutorials (YouTube has fantastic painting lessons!) comments where people say  after a spouse died- they tried painting to distract and end up realizing how beneficial, relaxing, healing, inspiring it is.  To paint just to paint - is pure joy. 
Many paint to make money & some are successful at it' but when you paint just because you know it makes you heal' is true success.  Love of painting, frogs, fungi, latin & Poppy made this a pleasant experience. I have a new creation to share with others -to bring them joy & remind them to 'try.

I mention Poppy because Poppy has sat on my lap as I painted since the day I got her. I Love her.  Now her eyes look up at me & I see they are a bit cloudy and my own cloud with tears. Over a decade has this tiny creature with the biggest heart sat on my knee & slept by my side, she'd fight a bear for me. All the other dogs will be out on the deck, not Poppy - she's where I am, always. She started following me around so much I became concerned, but perhaps because her vision might not be as good, she prefers to stay close.  She love barking' to tell the girls where I am hiding! The excitement when I play hide & seek with my dogs-is evident in her tiny expressions! I LOVE her. Every time she come to sit with me, when painting - I lift her and tell her -I LOVE YOU!  I've had enough dogs to know.. one day she won't be on my lap & just the thought crushes me.  Thats what dogs do... 

I moved my computer because I can paint and watch something else at the same time- lol,  a common thing said when I was younger was: he/she can't walk & chew gum at the same time. Painting and watching a video can be amusing - I'm watching something that gets my heart racing - Current World 'education can do that - have you seen how bad it is in Haiti???  Yikes. Painting balances out emotions  & keeps me in the NOW, it does need some concentration.  I signed up for some new lessons with Ruth Wilshaw: I love her style, calm voice and professionalism.  I just painted a helium mushroom balloon - after taking a lesson I'm excited boosted to paint something.
 More on Ruth's lessons and new paint! Meeden - gouache. I've played with it for a week to share what I've learned, next. 

My best Top 10:

1. Jesus! Jesus Christ is the way, the light & the truth.
2. Get a dog, train them with love & you will have best tiny furry companion - that would fight a bear for you!
3. Learn how to create- paint!  Tomorrow I'll share an affordable  way to start.  Try
4. Paint to impress... Jesus, first. The rest will follow.
5. Use natural medicines to heal & help yourself, spend some time researching! DO you not deserve it?
6. Say it out loud:  I am Gods greatest Creation!  A Living, breathing, thinking,  miracle!
7. Behave like it.  Try.
8. Give thanks for everything, good & bad & the lessons in between.
9. Have No Fear.  Never stop learning... Success comes in many forms.
10. Jesus is within you, wether you believe or not, Jesus believes in you. TRY new things.

It's a long weekend in Canada!  Look how excited Poppy is, posing beside a mushroom stone. 
I made several mushrooms stones because I like them, placed around the property, props.. a bit of whimsy.

Storm is at an event -a forest festival! It looks like an amazing time! There's art, music, food, dancing, D.Js, yoga- wellness, a few days camp out event. Ah to be 25 again... I made some props as he'll be selling lions mane, cordycepts and inoculated bags of wine caps & oyster mushrooms for people to grow in their own gardens! I even made a few 'mushrooms' out of foam art and I think they turned out pretty darn cool for my first attempt. I'm mastering the 'Hotwire to add dimension.  These foam art creations are a blast and I'm getting pretty fast, even these were painted with a new idea as the giant mushroom stone (below) took forever. lol The giant one  is a photo op prop - taller than I. 

Instagram/social media break- this week there is an attempt to take a world wide social media break! I'm taking it.. from today for 7 day, easy peasy. I've already taken a few monthly breaks( very refreshing) this one is to show social media they better back off with the bullshit. Purple are getting tire of it. I get friend requests daily, I don't accept - people who don't post- only on to look.& I've kept under 1000. truly, It would e easy for me to walk away, some shit I see o it- I am not wiser for- but the comments people make - thinking they can judge an entire event or person based on one post- is wild. So people post things that are absolutely disgusting - all is does is SHOW everyone else & the universe who they are.  I've had a few comment on a comment I made and  there is no point responding, clearly the person is rage baiting and un educated s- I don't bother. No point.  

Have you seen the Spain invasion? Even the Pope is calling it an invasion. Yikes.. more MEN - ALL MEN - no women and no small children ALL men from about 18 - 30's - thousands -with only the clothing on their backs- who thought that would go well? Not even 24 hours and people were breaking into homes and stores and grocery stores- they could not contain it. What a JOKE the CBC reporting  thousand have already returned home - lies & everyone knows it.

I would like to ask for prayers for all the women & girls in Spain that are absolutely now terrified - due to what we have all learned regarding this rape mentality, they have every right to be. I have always wanted to Go to Morocco - I had an art teacher in school who loved it an was always showing us photos - but in my 20's when looking into actually going - I had so many warn me against it-- from travel agents to friends and people who had actually visited.  I decided not to go. I was told them men there would not leave me alone and my vacation would be spent being sexually harassed. That was easily 30 years ago.. so It probably got worse.  Where's the women? at home alone? looking after kids, struggling as all the men take off.  It is said these men will become the new armies... of course they will, they have no food, no work, no place to go. They will be rounded up and offered a choice, army or go back.  What would you do if them? 
Please pray for the continued protection of women in Spain & around the world. 

It's time to paint - two new mushroom creations - Enjoy this day the Lord has made! 
Happy Long Weekend canada! 

PJ's are important - we sleep a lot and we should consider healthy options- even as we sleep.
I only wear cotton P.J's.. I have studied my own body carefully and due to psoriasis - I need to be comfortable to sleep. Red wine is like adding fuel to my skin, the next day I feel pain inside and out where the psoriasis is.. another good reason to give up alcohol!   I was given really comfy, pretty PJs for Christmas, polyester.  Albeit aware they might irritate an already sensitive skin &so cute- how could I not? So I did and regretted it the next day as my legs and bum itched. NOPE. I went through my closet any PJs that are NOT 100% cotton are now rags.  I have many winter pair but no summer, so I searched online... $80.?! For a cotton T & shorts to sleep in!? Come on, that's expensive and didn't include shipping &  taxes.. blah blah so I made my PJ.s!

I asked Norm to pick me up mens cotton boxers & Mens white cotton T shirts. Mens because  woman's are more expensive. 
For the exact same items - women's are always more expensive in my experience. Hair cuts, clothing, pedicures.. all more than men would be expected to pay. I am wearing this around my home & to sleep in, no one will see but perhaps deer or bluejay - still, they are stylish. I am sleeping in them... the number 1 priority is comfort, mens are a bit bigger too.. I get 'M' to be extra comfortable.  He brought home the bag of 3 white  cotton T's -I think, just under $15. & 3 pair of boxers also the same price. I have 3 new sets of P.J.s for $30.00, no shipping. 

Being mens PJs.. one pair has sharks on them - so I quickly made a matching T , for two reasons.. it's fun & now no man will take my T - or boxers because I added blue dots to them too, to 'say: these are mine. lol.  Then I added a Jesus loves You T! Of course and the next will be a funny T that made me giggle, I saw on IG.  I'll show it, when done.  Sleep is important... had I bought the pair on line I thought was cute (I can make anything cute) it would have cost me over:$250. 
Make YOUR OWN.  Have fun.. Buy a bunch and have a P.J. painting party.  I am so done with feeding this consumerism beast, I'm not buying anything I can make.

Cotton or linen... linen is more expensive but I'm seeking so I'll find, eventually.
I asked Arrow for a kiss today and she ran at me & kissed me on my forehead so fast, it almost knocked me off the chair.  Dogs are awesome..  you should get one, preferably two.  

I then just cleaned my desk - clean mind & desk - Praise Jesus! 
​On to create something FUN & FUNGI! Enjoy this day The Lord has made! 
​

Roger Rabbit died... Athene got to him. I was angry, she has so many toys - but found this one in my closet and destroyed it. I have had it a long time, it is my favourite animated/live action movie.  Dogs, they are not perfect- well Arrow and Poppy are.  She didn't get a beating but she was blocked from the bedroom and knew I was pissed... later thinking about what a good dog she actually is, not taking off, gentle with poppy, doesn't eat treats I leave on the coffee table, doesn't eat the chickens... it was just an old toy, Stuff. Her love and training are more important than an old toy.. Maybe I'll try to make him a clay head face, maybe I'll just toss it.

What a beautiful Sunday morning this is, yesterday was an exceptionally crafty day- so much so I was exhausted, me & the foam cutter got quite the work out!   

I was missing my girlfriend Marie, perhaps it's because of my knee... it only hurts if I do as much as I did yesterday  & the damp days, I felt it a little more. My friend Marie had a sore knee, but she could walk, I tried to convince her to tolerate it until it simply didn't work but she liked to travel (a lot), I was so much against knee surgery.. she did not tell me when she was having her surgery, she died from complications, of knee surgery a few days after she had it.  She died FROM complications of knee surgery. Died from knee surgery.  I miss her.

I also lost my young friend Lauren, she's mentioned in this blog lots, I have photos of her in her nurse costume at one of our halloween parties..she was in the hospital and I'm not going into details because It still makes me cry- the hospital fucked up. Plain and simple, every time I think of it I get angry - how could that happen!? It did & she was just 30 and I miss her and her parents & family miss her more. We have put too much faith into modern medicine. We are rarely made aware of all that does go wrong in hospitals.  You are reading this for a reason, on tis day. 

I watched this 60 minutes (Australia) and it was a stark reminder- stuff I didn't even consider - things created', implanted (literally)  to help us heal - kill.  My dad Billy, had a hip replacement - the part they put in - was NOT compatible with his body and the flesh around it started to disintegrate. That was the start of his ultimate demise, he spent months in the hospital which added to his mental decline.  I am 100 % positive - IF he was in the hospital now- they would offer or encourage him to use M.A.I.D.  - ALL for a product that was not meant to be put in his body, If I knew then what I know now- I would have encouraged my mom to take legal action. They removed and replaced it something safer'  but the damage had been done.. mentally & physically. I miss him the most.   My mom had that thing for years, in the closet... long after my dad was gone.
​
It's a rude awakening we are all having some days, understanding that most everything is driven by money & profit over peoples health & happiness.. We have been lied to for decades from everything from the food pyramid, tobacco, alcohol*causes cancer - and hospital and medicine- surgeries are the 3rd leading cause of death in The USA probably Canada.  This was a really interesting doc about how our food was poisoned- it's mind blowing what people tried to get away with and sad how change was forced because of deaths. It also is testament to ONE person can make life altering changes - for us all.  Knowledge is power, if you have to have surgery I hope you ask all sorts of questions, put it off as long as possible and ask God for help before you go under the knife - or take new medications. 

​I miss them - because I loved them, so that's good.  Blessed I had the pleasure of their company while they were here, it still doesn't take away my anger & frustration at the medical INDUSTRY...  Enjoy this day the Lord has made, we never know when it might be our last. I do believe when God says our time is up - it's up but those accidents were absolutely lessons FOR others to learn, I'm not going to forget them & I'm always going to  try to discourage people from having stuff they don't absolutely need done.  

Created to create!

Frog on a toad mushroom stone. Acrylic on foam board.  * My projects are ALL freehand. No tracing, no projectors - often no sketching - from mind to foam with a sharpie marker. Each item truly - one of a kind! Like you and me, it's how art should be. 

This was made from blue foam board, recycled from one of Norms projects, because it's all dinged' up&  turning  it into stone - old stone was perfect! I love mushroom stones! Very cool art- from long ago.  Inspired by psilocybin mushrooms -  artists created to pay tribute to God, the universe, the creator.. & the mushrooms.  Before I continue, I was reminded today: for anyone so narrow minded to think "Mushrooms are for stoners"  (a while back, that person was me...lol)   The gentleman who introduced psilocybin to America after a 'trippy Trip'  was non other than Wall St., banker - Gordon Wasson. He was fascinating.. << click here to read a great article about him. So, there you go.. a banker business man - turned the world onto mushrooms after his story was shared with LIFE magazine. The experience changed his life for the better & made him a better man.  Not some hippie' stereo type that the Gov. created. Anyhow...

Mushroom stones are simple and I think look lovely in any garden so I made this one!. It is also my test subject, I'm going to watch and see how it holds out in the weather. It's as tall as me. Every single project is a learning process. Today - I tried the pink foam board and oh my - it cuts even better. I've made two smaller mushroom stones - just cut out and I have an idea for a big project so fun..I can hardly not stop what I'm doing to start. Art inspires & yes, I'll admit I do contribute some  of this enthusiasm to psilocybin. You know lately, some day seem harder than others to even start, especially after our daily does of Carneys lies or Trump turmoil... those day I microdose now.   I don't always paint when I microdose but I do think about painting. I prefer to just sit, enjoy the sun on my face, wind, leaves, dogs.. throw the all. God has provided and I am forever grateful, that's how I show it, enjoy it.

Learning about psilocybin is amazing - more fascinating than the cannabis journey, yet very similar. Psilocybin has been painted, carved, sketched in art since the beginning of time.  In ancient art paintings  Adam & Eve were not standing beside an apple tree but a giant tree of mushrooms. It NEVER says it's an apple, some historians think it's possibly pomegranate or mushroom. 

Foamboard art is also light- so I can mail/ship it for less, it hangs on any wall with probably one of those taped hooks.   It's great for people to hold for photo ops,' it's rugged- if you drop it -as I have - it doesn't break. The possibilities are endless- oh I just thought of that project again! Yes, it's great to be excited to CREAT. I also have to mention my knee, no pain.. if anything it come when I stand too long -cutting foam!hahaha -in the same position, me & the tool take a break every 40 minutes. You do what makes you feel better - WITHOUT THE SERIOUS -SIDE EFFECTS. I take it when I FEEL like it, not because a bottle tells me to do so every few hours. Sometimes.. I go weeks, months without. Thank God for that Banker who shared his experience. 

Well time to get back to it- I've already made some larger items, I share them next week - wait util you see this one - that I am creating - in my mind and I have the PERFECT spot for it! lol

​Enjoy this day - This Weekend! The Lord has made!

Two creations on my desk today! I was in the mood for a couple of twirling art, both started yesterday will be finished today!  Daily goals - paint and hug a tree - or two, fill the humming bird feeders & plan my next foam art- I have a giant foam board just sitting taunting me at the moment.. what's it gonna be?  Like that giant canvas you are nervous to start.  Something will be started for it, if only in my mind, today. 

What do you think of 3 D printing?  I think - it's pretty neat! & creative..  and must be also wasteful.  I do not have one, or know anyone that has one albeit I know they are now affordable & popular & libraries offer classes for kids to use them.  I don't have one but have thought about them,  not planning on it but I have learned a few things and some- YIKES  you better learn before you purchase one - especially if considering a 3D printed HOME.

A 3D printed home! How cool - I have seen a couple in magazines already, I believe a couple have been built in Canada & I have blogged about them before. Remember when Justin Trudeau  announced a C$600 million investment aimed at promoting innovative construction technologies, including 3D-printed homes, to address Canada's housing crisis. This initiative focused on making homebuilding faster and more cost-effective.... How's that going?  

Well I know many Canadians were excited about it but you better watch THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRLqld_jD_g&list=WL&index=1   THESE 3D builds are ALREADY failing. Literally cracking.. and frankly - no-one can tell you how these homes will hold up in 10, 20, 100 years as -there are none.  After watching that - NO- full stop. 
​I would be waiting until they sorted it out.   I wonder if Justin knows... or cares? Probably not- he's too busy hopping around in music videos. How many homes were built, how many homeless were helped with that$600. million investment?  I remember reading - people will be able to afford 3D homes and they will go up fast- too fast.  Affordable perhaps - initially, (and they currently are not affordable) but who knows how much you will have to spend on repairs - or like the above example- where the town made them tear it down. How disappointing that must have been!

Some Canadians are betting big on 3D printing.. I wonder how aware they are.  It is VERY cool - but in the long run...  quite a big investment in equipment and to homeowners. I do hope they figure it out because I think it is interesting, functional, easier and hopefully will be affordable - to those that need them.  Another thing I learned is the companies who own these printers want more control of EVERYTHING you print & much like the recent gaming news - you will pay and rent 'programs -patterns' and not own them, which will make these creators - have to pay more to create.  Perhaps before spending a sum on these printers- check out what's coming - regarding laws and regulations, no point owning it, if you can't afford to use it. They are banning tool use   TARGETING 'PERSONAL manufacturing'  in the states check it out - absolutely wild that this is happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOyrFus1Yus

It's amazing what technology can create..  incredible that individuals have the opportunity to be these creators - as they should.   
Who knows what's next? 

Created to create! 
I'm gonna go 3D some clay loons. :). 
​Enjoy this day the Lord has made!

Yesterday was wild! Weather wise. Above.. learning how to use my new tool to sign my art, it is extremely relaxing 'doing and watching this happen.. I really have to set a timer to remind myself to stop.. it says only use it 40 minutes at a time to prevent from over heating..  The one issue I have is to make sure you have a lot of fresh air because it smells a bit.  I can't stop using this thing.. I have to tell you - he bought me a sheet of foam board -I showed him a photo from instagram as I get my ideas from a artist/woman in Texas! ' Norm said the board cost $129.  I showed her.. Guess how much she pays for that board???   $29.95.  ARE you kidding me? She was as shocked as me. Canadians are being price gouged at every turn. Have you seen the laser (I think it's a laser) rust remover? Paint stripper? Holy Handyman! Talk about making work easier - goodbye sandpaper.  I have a blog on 3D printing technology - toys to homes soon -you really will want to know what I learned -especially if thinking of a home.

Back to the weather- it went from sunshine to dark, wind to rain & as I was recording the rain it turned to hail- very cool- lol the first ball that fell made me think of Robert Robertson cocaine rock flying out of his nose that he accidentally stuck on his head and I am giggling agin! Priceless - even better was his apology' on Instagram! It made me LOL.. GOOD for him. Who is judging anyone one anymore over stuff like this?  I'm grateful for the SOAKING of the forest- it was drenched.

I can't even - A Dr. from SICK kids hospital has been charged!!!  I tell ya I wanted to cry when I read a Dr. who physically touches  "professionally" and works with children all day, at Sick Kids has been charged with possessing child porn. He has just dealt himself some serious karma, fucking with sick kids.  I am NOT going to research it further - I KNOW he will suffer for his actions, eventually. I could not even read it all this am I became disgusted and I can only imagine every parent of a sick child who is learning this - who actually dealt with him, they must feel sick. 
​STOP TRUSTING YOUR CHILD WITH ANYONE. Not Doctors, family , friends.. unless your children can communicate verbally. Don't leave them alone with "professionals"... not Dr.s, teachers, coaches...  sad to admit this reality. 

Now in Canada.. I'm not sure but me having this opinion could be considered hate speech.. they don't want us talking about this. Carney doesn't want us chatting about - his MISLEADING chats with TRUMP.  
What a joke Olivia Chow saying price gouging Canadians should not be  permitted - she is NOT concerned about US.  HOW are they even letting the happen in grocery stores- IS it? ASK! Ask when you go into a grocery store- do your prices change according to individuals - if  "YES"LET them know there is already  a court case in the states - THIS IS WRONG! This is illegal and they let it happen.  F*ck her acting like she actually give a shit.  Don't forget the price fixing on BREAD & BEEF! WAKE UP> THEY LET IT HAPPEN.  www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/algorithmic-price-fixing-cases-reflect-2043614/ A woman bought a pair of sneakers for her kid- so excited,  by the time she got to the register   the price changed and she could not afford them. She was literally crying- it is GREED from the WEALTHIEST! AND that extra money does not go to employees either. This should have NEVER been allowed to even happen - instantly testing to see how much we tolerate- how much they can TAKE, TAKE, TAKE.  By the way, it's not just food.  Know how to stop it? STOP feeding these beasts! Stop shopping there. 

Back to ART... ART saves lives. creating art saves lives and minds.. LOVE creates. I'm making some lovely art that I know will make others smile! Enjoy this day The Lord has made.

I have a new tool! Oh my....  I got a new tool to cut out the foam art. I used it yesterday for the first time & with each cut my eyes widened and my heart beat faster- with excitement! lol. AND I don't need to ask anyone to use any tools to do it for me- not because I don't know how to use them but my arthritic hands make it cumbersome. This - This... OH MY!

The tool warns to only use it 40 minutes at a time and that was my biggest problem- stopping to give IT a break. 
The details I have already achieved on my first attempt- I can't wait to paint! So.. yes tools make the difference.  The saw gave the foam a rough crumbly edge- this- yes, it cuts like butter.  I am also keeping bigger scraps to play around and see what I can create with tinier pieces.  The bird is one.  So, yes tools make the difference some times.  I do think it's best when we sill go through all the steps- without the tools, then you understand how things work and better appreciate the help,when it comes along.   click 'Here' to this tool, which I did get off Amazon. 
​
Needless to say.. I'll be extra busy for a few days- playing, discovering & creating.
I have a special Jesus in my mind to create but not feeling confident with the tools completely  so I'll practice on other things while contemplating Jesus, that's always a pleasure anyways.
Jesus with water.. that's a hint.  Water is Life. I've been thinking HOW to 'do the water. maybe I can use real water -a Jesus fountain!? Lord knows, we must have a fountain pump around here somewhere.  How will Protect it from the water if I do... Duck Duck Go awaits!  The possibilities are endless.

Looks like things are indeed escalating with Trump & ...STUFF -there's always STUFF - hard to wrap my mind around it all most days - worry accomplishes nothing. Praying accomplishes things you are not even aware of- prayer is also problem solving. Pray about it. Pray and keep creative! Looks like a beautiful day in the forest- no hints of smoke or fires.

Enjoy this day the Lord has made! 

P.S.  Did you know there are tiny drones that function to kill mosquitos!? Sounds very cool & interesting but costly -just over $1,000.  Still - how fun to watch, I am guessing... kinda. Then I remember  these tiny drones can take out humans too.
​Ah... Heavenly Father - thank you for this day & drones that ONLY kill mosquitos. Click on the image to go see it work! Neat! Anything that kills those blood suckers is a good thing!
​

I made this yesterday before 9:30 a.m.  I woke determined. I painted it' a bag, purse I had. 
Now, I'm happy with it again & it's spreading the message. Praise Jesus! Why else would they dance like that!
Really, Charles Schultz was Praising Jesus! Amen.  Reminding us all to Enjoy this day the Lord has made!

I've wanted one of those Snoopy purses for years, I think Coach makes them - but the thought of spending that much on a purse, it's just something I have not ever been able to justify.  Who know, perhaps if I had too much money.  I do like them  so... Look at this bag, it's like a Snoopy House backdrop'. It's VERY easy for me to get in and big enough to squeeze in Poppy.. lol.  It took me no time- already created for the day! YAY! DO it- follow that idea, go!
What cartoon fun could I paint next... maybe another dog - Scooby.   Dogs. I LOVE Dogs.
​
Go through your closet! What could use a little sprucing up.. a little acrylic boost? Some playful reminiscing and re creating?   Im going to clear coat it to protect it.
