I  was told to paint "more of what you feel..."
I was concerned monsters might appear.

Third Eye kiss. Try it!
You can even try it on  your dog - I do, daily.
You kiss them on the forehead between the eyes.  It's said to have special healing powers.
If I could kiss you and heal you I would.

Read More:
Third eye center is situated between the eyebrows. It is generally dormant spiritual center but it’s activation gives you insight , intuition and connection to your higher centers. If you genuinely love someone and care for , Third eye kiss can be a great uplifting experience for both of you.
Kiss the center of the forehead between eyebrows but slightly up a little bit with a thought of compassion and genuine love for that person. It activates the pineal and pituitary glands of that person which lie underneath in this area . It will bring a sense of security and well being to the person. You have to try it with your friends and family members you love and care for. Healing power that it brings is immense. It’s really a divine touch. It has been mentioned in many ancient scriptures, but you don’t have to take their word for it. Do it when you find an opportunity . The more you do it, the more you will see results. Try and find out! 

Sometimes when I'm painting, Storm visits me in my office - he will say 'hi, check out my work and kiss me on  the head before he leaves   ;)  How fortunate am I.  
I can't always physically kiss people- obviously, but it does not stop me from thinking about them, sending them love...  and praying (truly) they feel better, blessed & loved.  
All Miracles are inspired by love.  
​
Who will you kiss better?

How true...   

I put abundant amounts of love into these bears - I feel it radiating still from my pores today! I left the stars until this morning..  I wanted to wake up and continue the love I felt & carry it over.  It has.  

It might not appear but this was a couple of days of painting.  
6 layers at times.
I have to wait in between layers while  the paint dries. Gouache dries different then when applied.  It's a tricky  technique, instructing me in patience as I persevere.  
Painting on black board also is a bit tricky, numerous  times I think back to my classical animation training- thinking backwards- black first.. patience with cell painting, training for today. 

Love in every stroke.. It occurred to me
'I wonder how many strokes are in these paintings?
​lol     Too many to count.  Perfect.  

In the Garden of Love  & Medicine - also why they smile. 
As you can see 'He is a little grey- so the cannabis helps his old bear bones.

Hee hee hee.

Have a creative day!
Paint yourself some love!!

Let's fall in love.

Let's fall in love!!  No, NOT with a  person but with what you do! 
Love what you do! & the rest will follow.
Make yourself happy and it will shine out of every pore & more.  lol 

This month along with sharing LOVE & cannabis in every drawing  I'm going to share some of the people in my life who I care for, am inspired by, love,  like and including those who put love into the world for others.  Either for whom they 'are' or what they do, making a difference for millions or one. Who cares...  Making a difference is all that matters. 

Today, I share another cartoonist friend (with many talents) Ivan Art, he make a difference every day!  Ivan & his wife Simone - a creative couple inspiring others around them in Switzerland  as well as reaching the masses through their art.  Awesome.  
​Love is grand.

It's float time for Ivan!  Ora, io non parlo italiano, mi dispiace sto solo scherzando ora utilizzando Google Translate, obiettivo-ha un ascolto o guardare e si vedrà Ivan 1/2 attraverso il video! Educare Migliaia lungo il sentiero percorso parata & cannabis!  

Speaking of  Do what you love...  I have a NEW EASEL -  I did what I loved!
Today I'lll be putting it to good use. Woot Woot!!   Time for some acrylic paint.

The foxes are my imagined couples just meeting perhaps for the first time..
in the field of love. 

Tomorrow:  LOVE in the form of 'flowers'

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.

                                   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.

How have I decided to prepare for 2017... by taking a new art course.  
Keeping active.  Mind & body, mostly mind- until I can get outside again. 
On-line with Craftsy, from the comfort of my office at my own convenience.  
lol - I took this class- complete, in one day.
​
My newest class  was instructed by: http://www.sharlenawood.com   Sharlena Woods
I enjoyed it as it forced me to loosen up!  I am pleased with my first two works- painted very freely/quickly while watching the class..  watch, learn & then go try to  apply it to my own work.  That is the plan, anyhow.  
Each class, every book we read, every documentary- educates us further..
What will you do with your time today?
Me, I plan on becoming a 'better me' than I was yesterday..  
today I'll start with art, so far so good.

** I would like to thank a FB fan/friend, Faye from Facebook,  she made a donation to thank me,  I treated myself to the class. Thank  You Faye.  <3

BTW...Happy 'Boxing day.
My 'warm up for this morning:
​

                                      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.

Kiss me under a thousand stars..    
I was listening to the song and suddenly these bears appeared.  
I'm not sure where they are coming from, I'm not overly fond of bears...  at least I don't think I am.  
I know, I really dispise seeing them shot.  

They look terrific on a dark background. I love to paint fur.. and when I think Canada- I think 'bear' over.. elephant or lion. These bears are all about Love.  It's that simple.  
 Just happy to be together.  ​Looking, waiting, longing.

I added Bud because it was late when I was painting, my hand sore but I just  'filled' a BIG blunt- 'Palm papers' I tried (pre -rolled so you just fill it) Storm does not like the smell, I'm not overly keen other than the ease.  BUT I smoked it*, put on my headphones - turned up the tunes..  I felt great and just kept painting until I became too tired. Not too sore.  
What do you do about arthritis?
I do take an anti inflamatory - when 'I feel' I need it.  
Cannabis also helps I believe with assisting the 'mental ability', which keeps us from focusing on our pain but instead allows us to keep focused on passion.  All kinds ;) 
I'snt that what a medicine should do?  Isn't that what love does?

Focus on your passion & it will surly bloom! 

* I do smoke my bong in my office with Bird- and he does not seem to mind, as a matter of fact- I think he enjoys it, he likes to fly around in the evening - little show off that he is! & sings more.   BUT I do NOT smoke a full blunt in the same room - I leave.  I dont want to hotbox bird ;) 
It's nice to think of others...  no?

Into the forest I go.. to lose my mind and find my soul!
This applies more to my son that it does to me, Storm walks his dog 'Daisy every day - and long walks - sometimes 2! He takes her around town or to the forest and they alwasy both come home in a better mood than when they left! lol   Storm is usually in a good mood anyhow- it takes a lot to get him Off his path. Thank God. His roots are strong as well as his mind.  He has his favorite girl by his side, she doesn't plays mind games - or ask for fancy gifts.. lol   No wonder Dogs are mans best friend.  Mine too.

Me? I should have drawn (as Joshua said...):  
And onto my drawing desk I go, to lose my mind and find my soul!  
How true!!!

All these painting are small.. 5 inches in diameter I guess.  They take me roughly still approximatly 2 hours,  but mostly it is simply to force myself to warm UP. When I have 'artist block'- I pick a  quote & draw it, and If I'm really stuck - I say to myself - the first thing you see on PIN you draw  & I DO.  No mental blocks, not allowed. I am an artist! I dont have mental blocks.. I refuse.

& IT works!!!  Storm will be amazed, he will come in my office- I'll have no idea what Im drawing and 15 minutes later he sees 'it' appear and I make myself finish!  These tiny little treasures are more than a great way to start- or finish my day- they help me THINK, sort and DREAM.  Currently a painting sits in the other room waiting for me to finsih it, taking the bulk of my time - I love every second. A special painting for a friend.  It has a mind of its own as well... I was painting and  I looked up and my figure has turned into the sun!  Not intentional - my heart took over I guess.   FORCE yourself.  
Let the love flow.

Today, working on  political cartoon regarding (what else)  cannabis and alcohol in Canada.
Tomorow I'll post a little seasonal JOY.   Ho Ho - just because I'm not decorating it does not mean I'm not drawing about the holiday!  It's so much fun- I won't be able to contain myself.    Santa Bud, Reindeer, elves! Tis the Season!!

​So - Where do you do to find your soul?                                                                                   

Have Faith!                                                                                                                                         19

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

- Pablo Picasso -

Winter is coming & inspiration has me painting purple Octopus plucking petals. 
This 'doing what ever' it takes is working.  I meditate, listen to music & paint.
I also eat better, refrain from alcohol & only smoke cannabis.
I have made attempts in my immediate surroundings  to be 'love' inspired
(Purple elephants), cleaning my office and painting  every day, all day... it's my thing.  It's what makes me want to sing- Surrounding myself with positive friends here and there... near & far & I am smiling more.  I won't add 'twitching less' but it seems to be less - painful. lol  Truly,  I don't know how else to put it.  That & cannabis keeps me smiling- Thank God! It's working.  

Here is what I am noticing: new cannabis cartoons and ideas again starting to fill the air in my mind & office.  I can't put it into words- as it would give away the cartoon on my desk for tomorrow.  It's for all the dispensaries who have been shut down - in "our best interest." Bullshit. 

An animal drawing recently was "liked" - I don't normal check them out as I don't have time- and don't want to start which would = less drawing, -  sure enough late last night, in bed I check out a cartoon and one of my 'likes' is from this 'beautiful, huntress'.  
She 'likes' this image about saving our wildlife - as she sits with a fucking bear she killed while she visited Canada and  "can't wait to get back."  wow. 
I was so pissed off last night all I could see was a beautiful, selfish MURDERER.  
Today, I woke up.. new day - she is still these things in my opinion. We are losing animals at an alarming rate on this planet 2/3 of wildlife will disappear by 2020 - so thank you beautiful, spoiled rotten,  murderer for helping this along faster.
WHY!? Because you eat it all - bullshit.  
You need it to survive?  To keep you warm? You LOVE animals? 
Yes, like an alcoholic husband beats the wife 'he loves'.  
I no longer see 'beauty' anymore.  
I see a beautiful 'shell', and I feel nothing but pity for this 'pretty', young, life snuffing princess.. she has many years ahead- to think about her own actions.  
Check out this specimen of a human- HUNTING?!! They bait the bear with food/he comes here to eat obviously, hide (like the cowards they are) - and use a spear -  torture- phhhhbt.  He is a poor example of a good 'man' in my opinion. I am so happy they dumped them & more will continue to do so. 
Surrounded by love? I think these hunters will only attract so much hatred into their lives from so many,  who might attempt to harm/hunt them- which I'm reading about. 
Just like I want to harm a stranger who I see torturing a dog in a dog eating festival in China.  I do.   Can we not 'BAN' these hunters from other countries?  
Justin Trudeau- ASK your kids what they think???

The election - Yikes.

Back to painting this beautiful sunshine filed day!
Looking at the last petals before they are pulled off by the wind.
Au revoir les amis! Jusqu'à demain!

Is there any better way to spend a day then to stare at a deer (preferably living), bear or cute squirrel, nature at it's finest! Give thanks to the many talented photographers who  share magnificent images of snails with raindrops. No words.
To study & stare into the eyes  of the animals is heart melting  for moi.
Relaxing & meditating.  Nature never goes out of style. 

Nature never goes out of stye - it becomes prohibited.

It becomes prohibited and we got to jail.. over plants. This is the biggest crime.
I'd get it if we were using it to harm others.  Cannabis helps. It has never killed.
I do get the NEED to prohibit some medications like fentanyl, read about opioid death increase in Canada - it is shocking, it was for me.
​Reading and understanding the facts and then knowing cannabis has never caused a death infuriates me. I need nature. 
Friends in jail, children suffering, children dying, police raiding.  BULLSHIT.
In Canada & the USA, anywhere in the world... You can not hide the the sun, moon or truth.
When 'Health Boards' are focusing on music videos - don't get me wrong- I don't agree- lets not get down and boogie with plants' unless out in the wild- it would be hard for me to resist.  :)     Address it and MOVE on, now - it's just a distraction.
What can possibly compare these days to some of the statements out of Donalds mouth?  Asking Canadians repeatedly, to discard our MEDICINE in Canada as though it were cat feces. It's degrading we continually are faced with  these distractions when all we want to do is medicate ourselves with plants and MOVE on.

On a positive note, Linda was over my twitch was 'very busy', I had 4 bongs hits in a row just to sit and have a somewhat relaxed conversation - it's been a busy week. She commented the improvement.  Time to make some edibles.  
I need some nature, rest.. sleep  lol
I'm happy to admit it & I'm bringing Poppy cause I like  good back rub.
hee hee hee.  Sketchbook and I'm set. 

Nature never goes out of style...  it becomes prohibited or we kill it.

The King of the Jungle is complete!  
The little kitty purrs peacefully as she meditates, knowing her King has her back..  Kings.  
See it as 3 cats of the jungle if you wish, it's meant to make you smile, that's all.
The meaning for me is beyond words. Countless brushstrokes, thoughts, ideas.
As soon as it is framed in the snuggery it goes, where I will see it  every day.​ 41:10

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way

Once again Art saves my mind & helps heal my heart.
That's why I do it, selfish as it is... but then I get to share and hopefully bring others enjoyment! In this case it is my son who wants this painting. He rarely asks, I can't remember the last time... "& I'm calling it Moonlite Sonata"  he informs.  
'Perfect' I think.

Rain is not good for Goauche and neither are tears... overwhelmed with missing Tequila I started to cry while painting and quickly had to step away - take a break. I keep waiting for her to catch up, I have not wanted her to feel left out for years, it's why I 'kicked' her basket all the time to get her to join us (kick because she was a sound sleeper! & often a shake would not cut it) and she would.  I miss her bark- I miss telling her to stop barking - lol  She was deaf so you had to go up to her and tell her Stop and touch her.  I miss her smelly breath- did I say that?  I miss those zombie eyes looking at me ;( ..
This morning Poppy ran to her basket and then just looked at me like  "WTF? "  
Anyway.. it takes time.  Thank you for the wonderful well wishes and e mail, 19 years is s long time... I know Hunny is thrilled tho. xo

With each bear hare' I though about much. He is one hairy bear.  Several layers of fur as a matter of fact, words written with the first layer, now only the bear, fox & frog knows what they said. There are words of love and symbols but above all it stand for healing & celebration.

A peace has come over the house, even tho the kitchen is not done.. hahaha  
A painting on my desk already!  For kids I guess.. to encourage reading.
I'm planning on painting a girl and boy version.  

Nothing to be thankful for? Check your pulse..
& if you still have one, start enjoying  the time you have.

 Someone commented this on the survey (below) all I have to say is what about pedophiles?
& kids ? Wisdom comes with age. I am Assuming it was an older, more experienced person- a little wise that posted.   Too bad the rest of the world is not the same.
​

Another full day of painting ahead! ;)   Thanks to my son this a.m. for getting my carrot cupcake & coffee from my favourite coffee shop. I paint the sleeves for them! You might just get a mini original with your espresso!   This was my TeaRex, inspired by Jessie who works there, she told us on one of our first visits her sister calls her 'TRex arms'. hee hee he .
For the record she does not.  
​Go in! You might get a little original! Local & Import in Georgina!
