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?

                                      Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit
                                when there’s footprints on the moon.

Painting, Audio book, green tea & cannabis = bliss.
In every brush stroke there is love. Take a close look at how many brush strokes ther are.
There are too many hearts to count. Peace signs, words and more.. the most intimate details are painted into the moon and then I layer on top color to intentionally blanket my love  
& to keep  these arts alwasy a part of myself.  
My love to the universe in paint.  My hope is the audience wants to look at every stroke with a curiosity & will in turn feel the love I put in, without even realizing it!  
Am I a dreamer - you bet...  & now it is time to move onto a bigger piece & turn that dream into a reality. It is just a dream in my mind right now. 
There are even actual constellations, hee hee  I'm proud of myself- that took some research!  The colors flow, no thought is needed as my hand goes to the pallet as if it has a mind of it's own.  Passion is what I'm painting... with every tiny stroke.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday with their desires coming true.    
What do you desire?

Me- I can't think of one object I need.  I can't really think of anything I want..
well - other than the house by the lake, surrounded by nature, moose,  mushrooms bear & deer.  lol 
I  do know what I desire. 
How about you?
If you do not know what you desire, how will you ever acquire?
So, write it down and put it under your pillow..  

In 2017,  I   your name here   desire:       *write it here & dare to believe.  
It will be the first positive step for the new year.
Know what you want.  Step one.  
​
You will know my desire when it reaches reality in 2017.   
Now, that's the way to think!! 
Wait & see.

I Am, the queen you all work of me.. who(m) is correct in this statement?

​Reading 'again', The Botany of Desire - a gift from our friend Justin &  it's just as much a joy the second time around - I've grown since the first reading a couple of years ago - hee hee - The Botany of Desire for those that do not want to READ ( but I hope you do!) can watch it here: http://naturedocumentaries.org/126/the-botany-of-desire/  I highly recommend!  
I will continue to read for now.
  Each statement is true.. and the correct answer is:

       We ALL work together or it's not going to work.

If the bees die the planet will follow soon after.
Do not believe me ? Research it, you should BEE... as hard as I try, I get a little concerned after I do research -  we have  already started this decline to mass destruction and are still not paying attention.  Ignorance is Bliss.
The Bees are still dropping dead all around the world. 
I am partly responsible... taking my little friends for granted.  
I will still consume honey, it will be locally gathered with tender loving care from someone I know tenderly, lovingly CARES. We do have a friends who are local BeeKeepers - so we also have been blessed with a bit of extra Bee education.
If interested you may contact Zephyr Creek Honey here: [email protected]

Who does not know how important the bees are at this point?
The Botany Desire also discusses cannabis- it is interesting and I promise you will be wiser! 

It is my first attempt at this much of a detailed Gouache painting, I think I'm getting the hang of it, I certainly am enjoying it!  Already to start the next. 

Above is the cartoon shared on line for Fb .. Below is the image as it is I hope you enjoy, in real life it is very vibrant! It is what I enjoy most about gauche. Do what you love.

Let it Be.
I started this cartoon  last week and grateful, it was a distractions I seriously needed as I forced myself to finish the past few days. I still forgot to add the words .. 'with love' and had to go back in, after it was painted. That was not the plan.  
When will I learn, 'plan's mean nothing.  
Again my plan had a monkey wrench thrown in it the other night, I spent between 1 - 5 a.m. then tearing my office apart and stripping it clean. Until I was exhausted and cried out and went to pass out.. up and at it again at 7a.m., I need a good sleep. 
My guys left me alone. 
They understood & also realized could not help.
Today, still as I added the details on this 'Let it Be'
I apologized to Storm about feeling so sad, this close to Chirstmas'
He understands, points to my cartoon & says the answer is right in front of you...
Let it Bee.

This too shall pass. 
I am taking a break until after the holidays. 
Let it Be.   Let it Bee

Let them BEE.

I hope you have  wonderful time with family & friends,  doing stuff together instead of comparing stuff together!  Making memories instead of creating debt! 
Teach your kids about priorities now, not late fees later.
Making Love, not war.

Is there any greater feeling than when someone make you feel loved?  Liked even? lol  
How Sweet it is to be loved by you!!  I feel loved.  Thank God.  Thank You.

I had a  visit with my friend Ivan via Skype this week that always makes me feel loved, we catch up, see what each other is working on and discuss dreams.  :) He is multi talented! He is working on this years float, new t-shirts and more  (shhhh it's a secret! Terrific stuff!)
Today is his Birthday! Check out his site and wish him happy birthday! hee hee hee 

We received our first Christmas card from JoshuaBoulet! ;)
In Seattle drawing up a storm, his mom bought him a ticket home for Christmas (I love that) - so Texas he will be! I hope one day he visits me! 

An longtime friend, Christine visited yesterday. How nice  to just sit and chat - catch up! 
I might get her to correct my cartoons for spelling from now on. lol 

I made a new 'artist friend' a very talented young lady, who's images make me curious to know more - beautifully haunting. She does not have a website. I'll ask and share at a later date.  & Now we are exchanging hand drawn Christmas cards and a souvenir from where we live! Not sure what to get, but I better get it this weekend & out this weekend! 

Friends on Instagram & PIN, make me smile.  I was trying to put into words..
One in particular is  'Serious Sunshine on my Grey Canadian days!'  :)
Just because they make me smile.

I want to do the same.  If I can.  Whenever I can.
The BlueJay bird- papermache is off to a new nest carrying  lots of LOVE!
For new nest full of love.  I hope every time he is glanced at the recipient will smile and reminded they are loved by another next in Canada..  ;)

I have finally parted with an original Snail drawing on HEMP painted with TLC & then hung by my desk. I like to look at what I've made.  It brings me joy to know I created something from my own imagination! Again, it goes with love, when a smile crosses the face of the recipient - I'll know, my heart will feel it.  

An original is on it's way to a new home/studio - another I had hanging in my bedroom for over 2 years - maybe 3 -  I looked at it every morning and every night! The last time I did that, I sent Jerry kelly that original. I knew it was meant for him.  This time, I looked at the  HUGE smile one morning and I smiled and I knew instantly who to send it to & for several reasons!   I'll know when he opened it! My  heart will feel it.

I sent a card to a fellow Narwhal, lol I'm giggling - for my own reasons, which I MIGHT share at a later date.

I get giddy sitting here - wondering 'did so and so get a  package! ?' 
Have I made them smile? Other times I just send cards.
I send what I am to send...  to whom I am to send it.
LOVE.
ALWAYS.

So, no wonder... I feel loved by you.. How sweet it is to feel loved by you!

Have Faith
