I need a new painting for my bedroom! A new direction, I had no idea what to paint and it came like it always does... this elephant looks nothing like my initial idea.  Listening to music, keeping medicated it arrived and I'm thrilled.  I was thinking about MY style.. 
 a creative style that changes all the time!  Oooooooo   *_*   I'm getting into this painting.

Painting it, I became emotional, stood back & took a deep breath - DREAM BIG!!!
THINK BIG!!! BE CREATIVE, make what ever the fuck you want.  Care not.
Ganesha is the remover of obstacles, elephants don't "Go around"  they go forward, through and there is no stopping them. Move out of my way.
My 'bowls of goodies'.. yes, the sweetest of sweets for moi.  Think Big.
I love the axe premise to 'hack off all negativity'  and the need for materialism.
His belly is full & so is mine,  Storm & I just met in the kitchen for a 1.am snack. ;)
Peanut butter  & jam for me, he had a variety of treats. The dogs had crumbs.

Today was a splendid day, I painted.   Tomorrow I'll do the same and 'give thanks' I get to
do what I love & take breaks, go online see what the world is up to... If I choose.  
Once my elephant is complete I know exactly where it's going.  
My little meditation centre.  
A place to get my groove going on every morning, fine tune my vibe...  ready to receive love.
I might treat myself to a statue of Ganesha - I'll wait until it finds me.
​
Bring it on. Listening to now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEWuAcMWDLY
Yep,  Im stuck.. I love the older music - it eases my soul while painting, I sing along and drift away- when is the last time you drifted?  Go. Do it.   
He is not yet complete..more to come.  ;)  I can't wait to wake up and start again.. probably in 3.5 hours.   lol  Better to create than to just lay in bed and think. 
I Give thanks for this beautiful planet & apologize for all the pipelines.  xox

As you might know,I'm out of the FB bubble... lol - my son told me this a.m.  Dana Larson
was arrested for GIVING away seeds.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/dana-larsen-custody-pot-seed-handout-tour-1.3524504
GOOD FOR HIM!! I wanted to do this a couple years back! I drew a cartoon about it - Free seeds with every comic but my friend Marco informed me it wouldn't be wise as 'I could be arrested' even though I was giving them away for FREE.  I thought then it was ridiclous and still do!  Already - tax payers dollars are NOW being wasted! AGAIN.  Seriously - have we nothing better to focus on!? 
The police will give a statement on this- big deal-  what can they possibly say?
He was giving away free seeds. Many will never get planted.   Seed for a PLANT that  has never  killed anyone - it is not poisonous - as a matter of fact the USA government has taken the patent out on it for its medicinal values- yet greedy politicians  in the USA also still send  people to jail over plants.  A Plant never been linked to a death  only helps many  feel better - I KNOW.
How much money do you think it has already cost us?
Here is a good article McLeans wrote back in 2013!  Phbbbbt.  http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/why-its-time-to-legalize-marijuana/
 2016 and arrested for seeds!
What judge will see this in court?  
I'm reading about people growing who are getting  $5. fines and then tossed out of court.  
If ONLY our money was going towards education, healthcare, hunger, jobs.. GEEZE!
Put the money towards 'potholes' would be better productive!  No.. lets 'bust' someone for GIVING away seeds. What ever dufus made that decision.. seriously needs to be educated on cannabis and empathy towards others.

Me.. I'm painting, learning gouache, drawing a cartoon, and painting a birdhouse...
​How about YOU?

How true & thank God for the reminder. Everyday.
​
I just spent the morning (and have a few STILL) sending e mail to those I love.
Those who put a spark in my life and days they Inspire,  teach, make me laugh and show me love in countless ways, with gifts, e mail, notes, Skype dates and more. Time. 
People, my life is richer because of.  Not with $$ but with love and that is truly priceless.

              At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. 
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
                                                                     - Albert Schweitzer -

​I even apologized to a few for my... occasional mania, sending e mail...  You all know who you are and I truly thank you, for the times you ignore me and don't! LOL  
I like to think, I speak with only love and hope everyone remembers that when I get frustrated.  I have the feeling  they do. 

Time to paint & continue thinking of those I love, I am so excited to see what this years holds for ALL of US!!  
I plan on giving more.  Making more people smile.  Simple.

Happy 2nd day of 2016!

I love you.

There! Someone told you I love you, this year!!
That is the best way to start any year, day, moment. 

Oh, I already received a reply... no wonder I love this guy, he wrote back:

as for your behaving…I read a quote by Mae West on one of the beer cans I made some art for saying: 
“when Im good, Im very good. But when Im bad Im better”.     hihihi

so don’t behave yourself.;)

I plan on being me.
I am still as God created.

Tis the season! & I don't buy gifts. I refuse to go to the mall.
I paint or craft, of course I've left it late so only a couple will be getting a 'real painted' gift.
* I also purchase from other artists and crafters. No 'big store' stuff.  I can, so I do.
I actually have a great idea for another gift - I won't make it for Christmas - I'll make it and gift it during the year - Just because I love the person I am thinking of.  She will love it too.
Oh My Gosh! Did I have fun with Saw 12!
My moms boyfriend Hugh gave me 'two saws' at thanksgiving, the hand saw kind!
What fun! He said - "maybe I'll get one back" with a big grin. I like Hugh!
He is interesting, every now and then he or I mention stuff that - no one else ever seems to know...  lol Like Oblio and Arrow. Hugh knew. 
He bought me great books last christmas - one about the gentleman responsible for the dictionary.. should technically, be called the Dicktionary.. hee hee hee.
Anyhow,  he loves elephants and I NEEDED to paint so  I did. Talk about meditation.
I started at 6 and finished at 8 with a few breaks here and there.
I looked at elephants on the computer - but  I didn't have anything in front of me when I painted,  (no ink) this elephant is mostly imagination. I thought of elephants as I painted.
Today, I'm inspired to do a drawing- probably won't get it done until after the holidays about another elephant " I am not a body, I am free! I am as God created me!" is the title.
Have a   peek at Hugh's Elephant - Saw 12!  He promised me he would not peek at my blog.
I can't wait to paint the other for our own home. 
back to making more Christmas gifts...
