Dab Or Dab not.

5/2/2017

Dab or Dab not. There is no try. lol
I love Yoda! I also am a fan of cannabis. Try it all, in all ways do.
Edibles, smoked, drinkable, baked, candies, rolled, hash, oil.
Cannabis comes in many forms and I don't see this changing anytime soon.
Actually, my son who explains everything to me, my "Yoda" explained Dabbing’ as he does whenever I ask - or I'm on google for hours. This way I'm at least pointed in the right correct direction. I've had people offer dabs for a while and I tried off and on.

Better knows as cannabis OIL ... concentrate. There are several ways it seems to obtain it, in slightly varying forms. It also goes by the names of shatter, resin, dabs, oil, BHO, Honey Oil, CO2 Oil… etc. I find it astonishing. I have experienced some very clean dabs and the high" was - refreshing.

I like dabs & I like Yoda - *he was not created by Jim Henson, like I thought.. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Stuart_Freeborn - many make this mistake. Go have a peek- he looks like his creator. Yes, this qualifies as a love post, I have a couple Yodas in in my office. As you can see. I love this little green wise guy.

Do or Do Not. There is No try. ~Yoda.

Dab or Dab Not... There is no try. lol
High, stoned- again there are those words - I try to avoid, simply still because of he negative stigma they hold & not words I associate with Cannabis oil... relaxed, clear headed, creative, energized, refreshed, peaceful & positive.

I’ve had restful sleeps the last few evenings - awake at 5 ready to paint!
A smile on my face - I’m up before everyone including Bird.

Do what you love.
Do or Do not. There is no try.

A single rose...

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

"A happy little tree!"

4/1/2017

I AM inspired by Bud Ross. Bob Ross.
Painter extraordinaire.

If you can’t paint after watching this man, countless times- all available online for free - as I did while painting this bud, Isn’t he a talented little Bud? A Budding Artist you might say!! lol
You can see how he holds the pallet like a Pro, not to mention the tiny happy tree on the tiny canvas.

You can also watch on Netflix - where I squeeze in the occasional episode - usually alone, break time- but still want to keep inspired- Bob is the man. His voice is as calming as his brush strokes, except when ‘it gets a beating! “Beat the devil out of it!”

Unquestionably, he makes me a better painter after every episode!
I watch him make a simple path- with a twist of his brush, perhaps “A happy accident…” - it become a trail deer might trod on. Bob helps us escape as well as paint. Helps us relax.
No wonder the man is a success.
How superb he share his gift with he rest of us.

Today, with this little Bud, I hoped to make a few smile above all
I wanted to celebrate life, beauty, inspiring people & God.

Mission accomplished. “Bud Ross.”

“We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.”
—From "The Joy of Painting"

By the grace of God

For my part
I know nothing with any certainty,
but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

& Dream I will, until they become a reality
or until the day I die.

Same Boat Now.

30/12/2016

This painting took me a full day & it’s not very big.
The Sky has an eerie sensation (I can’t capture with a photo)
I don’t know how I created it, I walked into my office last night & it caught my eye…
I had to walk over and found myself getting lost in it.
Too bad you can't see all the details in the moon..
Oh, well better still - look up at the real moon!
Storm as made a positive remark almost every time he looks at it.

True.. we are all in the same boat.

I was going to wait for Martin Luther King Jr., day in January to share
- he inspires countless quotes, I'll just paint another.

Rumi

2/12/2016

Dealing with a head cold (tis the season) today, I turned up the heater (bundled Poppy on my lap) & painted this lovely Rumi Quote.
The moment I read it, I thought how beautiful... 'a love so deep the ocean would get jealous.' It's what we all deserve. It's what I deserve.
I can handle the ocean getting jealous, anything else is just added drama I no longer desier.
That, would be a very intense love. For awhile anyway... that is why we must have individual hobbies and passions - to fulfill our lives when our other Love is "lacking" or distracted.

Today is December the 1st.
I am not decorating inside this year, my heart is not 'in it'.
The kitchen is not finished.. not that it matters. I've discussed it with Storm, he 'get's it'.
I get defensive- in the past I'm called a grinch, why? Because I won't go into debt for 'gifts' we dont need or want. No thanks. Those days are done. When I give someone a gift it will becasue I want to - not because a date on the calander demands it, and expected to give to several - no wonder people get overwhelmed... I won't contribute to it.
I'd rather have some good times with friends, a nice meal.. quality time with my son. We are going to the museum soon! ;) * I 'get it' wanting Christmas to be special for little ones but the facts are the majority of people can not afford Christmas to the extent they do.
Please don't. Give your children the gift of your time, not your added stress after the holidays when the bills come in.

On a positive note! Thanks to sites like PIN - there is an abundance of creative, affordable craft ideas for kids of all ages!! Make something fun & I guarentee you - you will be creating a memory that wil last a life time! I am making a fairy lamp! lol - Not that I have anyone in particular to give it to- yet- I will. Have a peek if you can surf FB you can find a creative way to have fun with the kids or grandkids this holiday- cheap! xox
Check the snowman below to bring you to PIN.

Sing it!

30/10/2016

I've come to the conclusion that people often think the blog is about them, when in fact it is not. lol Which leaves me wondering... Why do people think this?
It's not my concern, really. I can't begin to assume. Ask.
SO, I've decided from this day forth - if I'm writing about someone, I will be happy to clarify whom I'm speaking of. Why Not? Which also brings this quote I've seen on PIN to mind:

This past week I've painted at least one painting a day -not huge - but kept me busy thinking. Here's the thing. I'm not interested in nasty/shitty people anymore so, I'll just try to avoid & focus on the rest.
I am interested in fascinating, funny, educated in life, excited about people and issues.
I'm not going to waste my breath, thoughts or time on those who are negative and can't dream... just cause you can't does not mean I can't ! I can, I do I will.
.
Painting at peace here & giggle, think, get angry, cry, dream, research & draw!
All seems to find itself. I find myself. At soon to be 53, I never felt more confident with my decisions... my trick it appears is learning patience. hee hee hee
I know what I want. I'm excited to welcome it.
What makes my heart beat faster, puts a SMILE on my face and makes me want to paint - that's what I'm focusing on!! I make no apologies. You should too!

My current toon does not have me smiling it's an editorial called: world war three.
Less bitching - unless its about a 'world problem'.
More painting... this too shall pass.

Everyday I am stepping out of my comfort zone and going one step closer to where I want to be. It's exciting! Poppy likes her new found "main" character fame but she is in hibernation mode already with his cold grey weather, after getting me up at 4, she has been in bed ever since. Hello November.
Bring on the SNOW! lol
