A single rose can be my garden...
​ a single friend, my world.
~ Leo Buscaglia


I Am excited to paint! Tomorrow
Now it's off to read & relax.

BTW I am listening to a new artist:  http://jonathanroyofficial.com
**warning STEAMY video. All I noticed was the Mickey Mouse tattoo - *wink, wink.
Jonathan was born Canadian & is in Montreal. Hubba Hubba.
Good Things coming my way...  
I  loved  the song on iTunes but had no idea 'who' he was & decided to 'google' to share
with you..   (blush) I  just watched the song for the first time,
which starts on the website automatically.  Kowabunga.
He is worth the drive to Montreal, IMO.    lol   Really.
Fun fact, his dad is Patrick Roy.
What Canadian does not know Patrick Roy?  Well, what one my age range?
Have a listen or a watch.  About that tattoo.. he must be a 'classic Mickey fan.
Perfect way to end a long day.

Have faith

Just Keep Swimming! Just keep swimming...  
It's all we can do Dori!
Just keep swimming.  Who better to enjoy some seeweed than Dori - right? 
These scans so not do my work justice, the colors are so vibrant... Dori almost swims off the page.  She has - she is already on her way to a new home!! 
I have a friend, once she saw Dori she had to have her! There are a few Dori fans as I had inquires as to when she was going to be complete.  I do not normally sell my art but I had an idea & IT was a fantastic one!  I asked if she would be interested in bartering.  
I desperately need a new easel- mine wobbles, can’t be adjusted, I’ve had it since high school and it frustrates more than anything- we'll I have a new easel being delivered this week! Eeeeeeeeee!!! I can’t wait.  
I’m cleaning my painting room today! Canvas are getting ready.  
I could have just asked for payment but this way - I have a gift of an easel from my art & a friend!  How cool is that? To create more art with MORE TLC & THC. 
Hurry up Mr. Postman! 

Just keep swimming… Speaking of scans..  today I’m off for a MRI with contrast.  
To see if things have stayed the same or have grown OR have gotten smaller or disappeared! Right?? Positive thinking!! I’m on the best medicine after all.  My friend Steve tells me “I have much work to do..”  lol,  
I’m not happy, I don’t want to go, my neurologist argued with me..  I don’t see the point, if it’s nothing that can be touched anyhow.  Or nothing they can DO and I am still living with what I am.  I’m going, I promised I would. This time anyhow.
More on this when I get my results, I’m making cards for a very select FEW.   Stay tuned.

I’m also going to see my friend Jodie before my scan so that is always interesting.  We’ll most likely talk about everything but (lol) it’s going to be busy today.

Right now.. just keep swimming, just keep swimming..    it’s all we can do.
Swimming into the painting room! Oh, I tell you, when it arrives, I’m locking myself in my room for at least a week!  Imagine what will emerge.

Give Thanks!  It’s all good, I was waiting for a miracle.. funny - I expected one at Christmas, but got the call for this MRI 2 days later-  so perhaps this is it!
​Positive, Positive, Positive.

Have faith!!

I do believe in the power of prayer, so if you’re reading this, and would not mind -  send me up a few! Thanks!

Here is a sign of my age.. 
Who remembers Holly Hobbie?
I DO!  I'm pretty sure I had a Holly Hobbie Doll, didn't we all? 

I was reminiscing on PIN, easy to do…  Raggedy Ann, Cabbage patch babies (I still have my original), The Sunshine family- now we can simply see toys of our past- get that ‘warm and fuzzy feeling all over again in a few seconds.

I was looking at of all things, the ‘Doll from Trilogy of Terror, remember him??  Frig that thing terrified me.  lol 
I was thinking of making a clay version for my desk in my office… lol - as long as his necklace does not fall off, Bird should be good. 

Well there she was - Holly Hobbie and BAM it hit me as plain as day.. she needs to become  ‘Holy iHighBe’  hee hee hee. 
It is my tribute art to Holly Hobbie -the Artist - of the same name more so than the doll, her one little image became iconic and loved by many little girls & boys.  She also is famous her her children books.

My little rendition of Holly -  My little Cannabis girl is also loved by millions around the world- the cannabis part anyhow!

She turned out so adorable, I have her framed and in my bedroom.  It makes me smile when I look at her & gives me a flash back of all warm & fuzzy - it’s a win, win.

I have decided to offer her as a print. It will be signed and numbered I’m only making 100.   
You can order her off Etsy link: 

https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/494723282/holly-ihighbe?ref=shop_home_active_1

Order your own cute little 'Holy iHighbe' print to frame -
​I have mine in a Walmart frame I purchased already with the matt for only $20.  
She is quite the little conversation piece,  instantly she is recognized but with a twist. 
A Cannabis Twist.


Have a Creative day - I know I will!

It's all smoke and mirrors.. all about appearances. Lol
Screw it, I say! Beauty is only skin deep & even then some people are still ugly deep down.

Every fucking day I struggle with this frigging 'thing' & every day God reminds me to look around and snap the fuck out of it! GIVE Thanks!
I did what I do when I feel desperate for change.. lol, cut my hair.  Why do I do it?
It's only hair. My head is bothering me - so I'll do what I can. Today, I'm going to see a friend Mary- she will fix it for me. I believe it will be called a Pixie cut!  hahaha- women out there will understand. Bring it on! It's only hair. IT's ONLY HAIR.  
Pick up the paper - read the news.. It's only hair.

Yesterday, there were a couple of comments on my bog-  I thought about  it all day, after I shared it with Storm- as it was of interest- which animals get HIGH Storm remarked- "Someone reads your blog..."      ...smart ass.  How  wonderful, thank you - Yes, I do forget! 
& thank you for taking  the time to let me know.  It truly made my heart tingle. 
To be following for a couple of years.. Yikes- lol!  
Then let me be reminded today.. to remind you-
It's all smoke and mirrors! LOVE who you BE!
Love who makes you SMILE! Tell them! Thank them!
Life is short- shorter as we get oder- lol - go figure! So have fun!
Less STUFF more memories... less TV  - more living.
Less Booze - More BUD!
​
I know, I make some people angry also.. this is not my desire...  I am sorry, if I have.
WE will never please everyone - so stop trying.
Please yourself and  the love will shine to all around.
How do I please myself - lol - now that's getting personal Georgia!!
I paint!!  It's the chinese new year this Saturday & my Cock is ready CROW! hee hee!!

Back again!  hee hee  
I wonder if snails get high.

My little fox is having fun hanging out on my desk...
Todd sent me another photo he colored from jail. One of his last - he is counting down- under 100days left!  Might be under 75 now. I will start to think about his welcome home card!   I gave out postcards on IG yesterday...  today, I mail them off!  
​Out into the world, the furthest from this batch is going to Germany!

Time to paint - I couldn't wait today to start- with a card...  for a friend, of course.

By the Grace of God we'll all have a fantastic day!

Are you Marching today!? www.womensmarch.com
Please Do if you are able!!
If not please help make others aware of the issues women are marching for today! 
I JUST read of some Canadian women denied entry into the USA because they said they were going to the MARCH! WTF?

Tomorrow is the Women's World wide march!!!  I can't wait. I will not attend in body - but I am there already in spirit and art!


One in five women will be raped in her lifetime. 
By a spouse, relative, co-worker, classmate, friend or stranger. 
1 in 4 college students in the USA! wow...  I would make sure my daughter was home schooled or knew karate and carried pedlar spray during her school years.
Did I forget anyone?
& then- most will be humiliated - IF they report it. Simple & disgusting facts.
IF they find the courage to report it- they will be judged on such things like their outfit, time, place, alcohol factors, “was she asking for it’, & more…  
The rapist will not be asked “what were you wearing, was it provocative?” 
Rarely by any judge will the rapist simply be addressed as what he is,  a rapist.  The rapist IS THE ONLY PERSON  with the PROBLEM. 
THEY LOSE CONTROL. THEY ARE the criminals. 
Baby girls, old women and every woman in between.
Women, the main CARE providers of the world -1 in 5 will be used as a object against their wishes.  Some gang raped and left to die:
http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/raped-shot-and-left-to-die-13-year-old-survives-to-fight-back-1263969
UGLY, TRUTHFUL FACTS.  https://www.rainn.org/about-sexual-assault


1 in 5.  
This could be your mother, sister, daughter, wife, cousin, granddaughter, school mate, co workers & friends.  please join the Womens march TOMORROW in a city near you! Go hear to learn more:  #whywemarch  #womensmarchs
 I can’t be there in body, so I drew about in hopes of educating a few. 
The only one with the problem regarding RAPE is the RAPIST. 
Not the woman, not the outfit, not the alcohol. 


A man who forces himself on a woman without her consent or knowledge 
is the one with the problem.  ALWAYS.


The only way this planet will ever work is when women can walk down the streets and not fear being attacked or worse not being able to feel safe in their own homes, with their own families.


WOMEN need to help & support each other any chance we get, above all else we should try to make each other feel SAFE. Heard. Understood and loved- for those who have survived.


I am dreading today for the USA (my personal opinion),  I pray there is no violence and President Trump starts off on the right foot - by not putting it in his mouth. 

Instead I wish to focus on tomorrows WOMENS MARCH!!!  
Loud & proud!!! Many PINK touques! The women pink pussy March

1 in 5?  WTF.
How about  1 in 100,000. that would be a start.
Will you be a victim?

Last night two loves combined.
Bears & cannabis...   Moonlight & stars.
Moonlight trimmer.

                                   Only in the darkness can you see the stars.
                                                           ~Martin Luther King Jr.

To sit and paint and get lost in each stroke of fur...      thank God.
I am reminded I was created to create.  All else can wait.
No opinions matter.   No rush. No deadline. No $ pressure...  
positively paining.

I can't escape these starry nights, thankfully they help with all the grey days.
1:30 a.m. &  I think... 'I'll just sketch quick...'  2 hours later.
Another bear & fox is born.  
Do what you love. I have no clue what I'll do with them, I was asked to sell one, not at the moment.

This is my most loved Bear & Fox & Wolf to date.
It has taken me 2 days - all the fur & blades of grass. 
The sky is the most vibrant.  
One more tiny detail to add... stars.    
They might just take me all night.

No need to rush.

Every day, all day.  
Painting brings me peace.
I made a painting for this tiny dome.. water color, it was fun and has inspired one for my desk, more detailed I think.. a little forest scene.  I'll show you when complete.
The only difficulty is cutting...   I'll figure something out ;)

What will you create today?

I like Big Buds & I cannot lie! 
Who doesn't?  
Sure all bud is good bud- but to see the beauty in an actual BIG bud...
WOW!  
Although dry, the tiny crystals still catch my eye. 
Time to break up this big bud & put it in my big bong & have a BIG toke to get his BIG day started.  Just like some take  pills and wait for them to "kick in", I have a puff & wait a FEW seconds  then I'm ready to stretch, feed the Blue jays, dogs and get some chores done!
Then I'll need another one.    
I like Big buds &  can not lie!!

* Yesterday, I read a news story  first thing and started to sob, it had me question my faith in humanity.  I blogged a very short sentence..  'some people fucking suck.' & yes, I still believe - some just do. Today again, shitty people doing terrible things to each other, strangers, friends, family all hurting each other.  I know.  
What the fuck is wrong with us humans?  
I deleted it.  
                            I apologize for my momentary lack in faith.

HAVE NO FEAR!
Have a terrific day!  Weekend... Month - Year!
