Love - long distance. Painted for a friend who sent me some Skippy (Peanut butter) over the holidays! Yeah!  A dachshund driving- she seems to be travelling everytime I check out her IG account so I painted this little card to send.  

My dream car  is or has been a smart car Or a Tesla. 
Now it's just Tesla..  purple thanks.

I just watched on Netflix : DIRTY MONEY      
I had no idea and am disgusted as I'm sure many will be, Thank You Netflix.
So,  NOPE, I'm done I'll stick with my Tesla. I hope VW goes UNDER.  
What they did to the monkeys is shameful- they knew what the results were already. 
LIARS, CHEATS who put profits over PEOPLE and animals and are STILL not being held responsible for the acts they committed.  
I HIGHLY reccomend you watch this series - the episode on TRUMP!
King of swindlers rules the king of counties (currently) & what blows my mind most- is the people who voted in that money hungry, lying CONman - the USA more or less is merely his bank account at the moment. An episode on Scott Tucker-  BOO F*cking HOO - you see him looking all sad in his multimillion-dollar mansion - as all his race cars (a floor of their own) are being repossessed - while he destroyed  MILLIONS of American families - does anyone really have pity for this person? Thank God these  "criminals " are being called out and punished and more to come. It was eye opening.. I know myself in the past these loan places have looked mighty tempting. PLEASE watch and educate yourself on how they really work.  

Dirty little lies, dirty money, dirty hands grabbing what they should not...  times up.
You have POWER - in your pocket.  Do NOT give your money to criminals.  
Once 'business rockstars 'now they will only be remembered as liars, cheats and perverts. 
People might still look at them and smile but  they will be thinking differently & talking behind their backs. You know it. 

Why give your money to these companies now profiting off of cannabis  run by owners who previously were in the BIG pharma industry - where they had no problems profiting  by providing pills that killed - research.   There are a few in Canada now and a few in the USA formerly run by Pharmaceutical giants.  They would be the last ones to receive my business...   just one more reason to support and believe in individual dispensaries- so the Greedy Corporate companies do not continue to LIE and mislead, overcharge and more.. more we learn about later.   Dirty money- I bet they have an episode on some in the cannabis industry  seeing its as hot as it is and all coming soon... 

I also reccomend the naked Truth - also on netflix.   Did you know about the mugshot business? 'TrumpLand'- yep, you got what you deserved - one fellow in this episode- really - he blames EVERYONE but himself for his misery and I don't think it had much to do with TRUMP.  They have an episode "district of cannabis" I'm watching it next.
Knowledge is power- so is the money in your pocket.

I noticed - The GangaBroWorld has a mascot, her name is Holly. 
I don't know anything about the gangabrosworld*  we met on IG and I asked about Holly - she's adorable!!   That's it.   So, I decided to  have a little squirrel fun.
I found every time I saw her I smiled, then I imagined her in one of their orange toques  
hee hee, cause that's what cartoonist do - in the winter - when it's too cold to go out. 
Up in her window - back & forth-        "Holly! I can relate! Bird too."

I'm gifting this original to Holly, no point keeping it- it was painted for Holly in her GangaBroWorld hat.   More cannabis companies need mascots!    
I've got a few in mind -  e  me.   

Do you have a cannabis pet?  Show me.  I might paint you a picture.
I love animals - they are a lovely distraction from humans.

So other than Holly & what I see - I don't know much else about the GangaBrosWorld - the IG page looks  good. Are you purchasing your cannabis online?
Are you excited for a store front near you next summer?  
Ready to try & grow your own?

The Moon! It's going to be red, I hope to catch a glimpse
it was difficult painting this moon- I guess because it's red.
The moon & I are friends, the moon comforts me.
The moon can help me achieve instant PEACE simply by glancing at it. 
Does this apply to you too?

The moon effects - nothing - according to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_effect

​What do you think?
Look at it! Glance at it's big, bold, blue, blood beauty. Say it 10 times fast!  :D
It's magnificent, free to all who want to view (clouds permitting) a wonderful opportunity to introduce your children to the moon..  

Bears in the moonlight.

Today, I experienced a Pomelo...    It took me a day to eat  one.  
Natural medicine includes the food we put in our bodies.
Not as sour as a grapefruit yet still as refreshing, grab a Pomelo over a potato chip!

My body begs for fruit, today I woke from a nap anticipating my next taste of 'Custard Apple 
and we can't find any, I tried it last week for the first time & I AM hooked.   A dragon fruit, strawberries, melon will be how the day begins! It's much easier to continue when you start off in the right  direction. Fruit and we also enjoy smoothies with spinach, kale (my preferred) but  fruit is NOT usually what one grabs first in this house to "snack" on,  wine gums, cookies & chips, cereal still are chosen over fruit too often.

I figure if it is seen = it will be eaten- at least by me & Bird! 
 Shaman & Natural Medicine all seem to have the same ideas...
Take your plant medicine & talk to God.

Not to get HIGH, to become Higher in spirit.

Cleaning my office revealed much - like spiders...  dust, bird seed, old books and way too many 'scraps of paper,  I did discover in an envelope work by Joshua Boulet! 

Remember him? my American cartoonist friend who's too chicken to visit us again? 
He was treated like a criminal at our border for his admitting to cannabis consumption, no he did not try to smuggle weed into our country in his butt- that's artistic license.
When he last visited he was searched & turned back & it left him feeling NOT so welcome in Canada. I'm upset he's not come back but I can't be too hard on him as he did come & visit me in California! It was  defiantly a hi light of my visit.

I can see we (my son & I both became good friends with Josh) must be on his mind as is Canada.. I just spied 'US' in his most recent release - can you spot us? lol  
It's a start, he's closer mentally.  
​I look forward to the day Josh & I draw again. Check out his youtube page- it speak volumes when artists don't give on on their dreams- Josh is incredibly talented and it gets better everyday because he is LIVING his art. Drawing 24/7, sketching the world from his backpack - his next visit, I think I'll take him to Nova Scotia! Road trip!
I know he's 'in' & Poppy..  if I can only get him to visit again- the summer is better - I'll start planting the seed NOW.

Mermaid in the moon lite..
I can see a few reasons a mermaid might want to venture on land.
Seaweeds just not doing it for her any longer until she sees weed.
I actually learned while painting the mermaid of the BlueLotus flower/drug.
Would I try "blue lotus" wine?   Yes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphaea_caerulea
Would You?  

Although I enjoy painting mermaids.. I don't think I'll keep this piece - I'll make her a gift to someone.

It's the weekend and I've much on my mind! Time to buckle down & get some of my current projects close to completion so I can start a few NEW! Every time I speak to someone they want to work on projects together,  lately - the universe is opening so many doors I feel like Alice! Time to put some of these ideas to paper! 

Inspired by love you can not fail.

Did you hear this speech?  
http://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/blog/halsey-s-raw-vulnerable-poem-about-sexual-violence-becomes-an-empowering-rallying-cry-1.4498278

Adios Patrick Brown. I don't know anything about this.. I read this  last night before bed (below) and thought  WOW, this is moving very fast.

It is going to be serious allegations these women must have - KNOWING the spotlight this attention would have on Patrick Brown at the moment- the next PC hopeful to be PM of Canada. Not now..  already a conversation with my favourite crusty phone  pal "come on... if every guy who gets an erection.." he starts. Conversations like this need to be had.
I state, it's got to be more than a simple erection happening,  these women don't want to have their private lives exposed or possibly ruined, perhaps they fear he might become more of a predator with power which will effect them and others around them? Would they be wrong to think this way? Take a look around.    
I would warn  a young woman of possible danger if i suspected it- at least enough to say PAY ATTENTION & don't let your guard down, if something happened to them and I knew' I'd be disappointed in myself. 

It's NOT o.k. all this abuse that is happening, 'old boys clubs' where women are no more than fixtures in the room, surrounded by money,  power & lust - treated like TRASH.
This remark by the actor recently - "It's just Childs play... "  
BINGO! That is the problem RIGHT there! The MENtality of most men.

ChildsPlay? I shared with my friend (and have here previously) one of my first memories of sexual abuse-  a man came up in the mall and grabbed and pinched my breast  in the middle of a packed store!!  Grabbed it then, let go and kept going.  or how about when my friend and I were trying to play 'spud' and some perv. kept exposing himself to us.  THAT was sexual assault.  
I was 15..  What's 'childs play' about any of THIS?  
Don't associate 'Childs play'  with 'sexual abuse'.    It's part of the problem. 
The Mentality.

It is an ADULT man (in many cases a stranger - how well do you think they get to KNOW these men)  who  physically, forcefully  touches a woman WHO does not want to be touched because they think they can get away with behaving in this way. Childs play!?
There's Nothing f*cking innocent about it.   
We also discussed why can women 'like 11 men' in the bar and not the 12th.. is there a law somewhere that says WHO we have to like and why? How may at a time?  Do men have theses rules? Too bad if we don't show the same attention to everyone - it's called choice.
& rejection, which we all have to live with at some point in our lives. 

Are we not free to make our own choices? WHO we see, like & who we choose to let see, touch our bodies, is NEVER anyone else's business (unless someone is causing someone harm)  so.. I don't know I have the feeling there's more to this story...   frankly I don't care, I am happy 'in the moment', justin' time... (hee hee hee) & he personally has done nothing to me, if he has done these ladies wrong the courts will decide - all his staff seems to side with the others..  we shall see.

This is  how I felt when i watched - the strangest thing- my iPad told me-so I logged in LIVE to see it and thought 'oh my gosh- I have no clue but you just destroyed your career . 
We shall see.. my friend and I have a friendly wager' just on the decision' as neither was there...  neither of us can tell you who is lying.  Either way I don't think he's going to be the 'Peoples Choice' from now on.

This was the best read today:   https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/powerful-men-laid-low-by-the-hour-metoo-is-remaking-society-literally-overnight/article37728029/powerful-men-laid-low-by-the-hour-metoo-is-remaking-society-literally-overnight... '  Amen.

​Mermaid in the moonlight next.

What is the medicine of  our ancestors trying to tell us?  Don't worry.. be happy.

This weather has me wandering the Mexican desert if only in my mind and - it's fascinating!! Really - ground squirrels are adorable, the Mexican Bluejay is  stunning, mushrooms healing, cactus also helpful ​- nature & it's healing properties are everywhere.

This was a challenge, the background was to light at first and had to be completely darkened, so the items would not fade... at one point I really thought i was going to put it aside & I did to start painting a mermaid in the moonlite  then got right back to it.  
I've included a few reference images.  Are you grateful for the gift of the internet, to be able to sit in our office and  explore the Mexican desert one moment and off to the caves of France the next.  Wow.  

There is such BEAUTY on this planet  and love, appreciation when we can step away from  all the fear, anger & hatred. With every 'new' shooting or running over humans with transportation, talks of nuclear missiles and missing woman I can feel a ball of anger build - 
​worse when I read of children being tortured in Canada - not somewhere "else", not California... a friend just reminded me  during our phone conversation - it's everywhere and at every level, look at religious society still who have women locked up now'.  

We turn our conversation to Birds.. and what we might do to help them because we are both at a loss at how to help humans.  

Yesterday, I admitted to another - I struggle with hatred, especially for people who are intentionally cruel to other humans who have not harmed them, children born to monsters  and are abused from the start..  angry - yes angry when we focus on things like punishing people over plants. When we  pay to help victims instead of  education to avoid  becoming victim.  He reminded me  `not to ignore it but NOT to focus on it.. focus instead on how to help any situation & sent me the best reminder this morning, hee hee hee

"In regards to your anger….a quote from master Yoda from Star Wars:

“Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.” 

He knows I am a fan of the little green being.

Peyote is a plant medicine which helps some overcome fears, understand concerns and help with enlightenment.  I've never tried Peyote and might never- (not fond of the vomiting part some experience) but it is another plant we should not be judging people over.  Plant.
Get over it and focus on what matters. 

I'm ready to consume some plant medicine, first  we had spinach, raspberry, pineapple, pear smoothies for breakfast, now some cannabis provided by my son grown with TLC.  
I believe the Universal message the plants want & have been trying to teach us since they were first discovered  is what we need to learn most:     

                                                                   I  Love  You.
Focus on that.

I miss Mushrooms.
I miss Foray weather- hunting for the many different mushrooms across Ontario. It has increased my appetite for them as well therefore they are consumed in most every meal I make...  portobello await.  Instead of outside they are appearing on my desk,  I'm going to 'gift' a couple in the spring at Forays - it's a wonderful way for a family to spend quality educational time together - I'll put one in a basket and wait for SPRING to inspire a little mushroom hunter.

Wait until you see my new 'Mexican Medicine'  painting...
the medicine has a secret message for us  &  so does my painting for all of you!  
Storm said 'I should wait until valentines day to show it.
It took 3 days with some frustration but mostly fascination! 

I just watched the movie 'Maudie',  I did not realize the extent of her life in Canada or how severe her pain was.  It left me feeling  blue but inspired. The arthritis part especially got to me. The drastic changing of the weather is simply  painful, I'm sure I'm one of  many. 
It went from 5 and muddy to rain, freezing rain and now a blizzard outside - this one day.
This is why we talk about the weather- it effects our lives dramatically.  I'll be going to bed early, smoking some very good cannabis from Storm - I wish you could smell it- it smells like 'citrus' so much I thinks it explains my craving for lemons, blood oranges & pineapple.  

Someone passed away, I didn't know him very well but I saw him quite a bit... it came as a shock.  I cried all day of and on,  I couldn't stop thinking of the family & the loss they must be feeling.  

A shooting has occurred in the USA in a school & kids are dead. 
Here we are again, 15 with a gun in a school... blah blah blah.. does anyone listen?
LOOK who once again pays the price for Adult laws & their "safe"  guns.

My mom sent me  quite the comfort food package delivered to my door, cabbage rolls, scalloped potatoes, meat pies.. & OX tails! I was craving after a friend of Storms mom made some earlier in the wee with were equally as tasty but completely different.  Geez my mom can cook... everyone is well aware of this fact.  I am thankful for "HOME-made  food- I had a bit of everything and passed out for 2 hours.  
Now it's time to paint.

My  Cactus next..

Our government has made it so kids can get their medicine for free. Under 25 
This is good & this is bad.  This is good for the many children who take medications, which they need for numerous ailments... it will help parents already under a lot of stress with a child who is not well, mentally & financially.  
​
I will never encourage anti-depressants for children.
Frankly,  it blows my mind our government is  so concerned about "cannabis & what it will do to the mind", with free medications - I wonder now how many children will be introduced to antidepressants - in pill form.  Pills with numerous side effects & law suits to prove it.  

Yet - cannabis, here we are- treating as if it were  "a lethal, permanent mind altering , damaging drug,  research the facts and most current scientific research & discover just the opposite. 

I wrestle with depression daily.  1/2 of me does- no doubt. Besides my CONSTANT TN & semi facial spasm, my hand on my right side is now  "crippled" - and - its re shaping itself so I cant' hold something as simple as a rag to clean a surface without causing pain. Peel a banana - buttons- forget it...  & now I appear to be getting psoriasis on the hand as well - considering I paint - I' paint through the pain - or I don't paint - what am I going to do?  That is when I get depressed - when  can't Do anything. I'm 53 and I' have to watch 1/2 of my body deteriorate different from the other 1/2 - whats not to be depressed about- Depression is part to life - the tricks to work through it.  

Depressed people are some of the strongest I've met. 
With legalization more in general will experiment * and some self discovery will happen (once the initial hype passes) and a realization of "feeling better"  self  medicating - perhaps less pills will be needed.  Are you aware the gentleman who created Alcoholics anonymous was able to stop his drinking due to the use of LSD - another "fry your mind drugs"- we've been mislead about is also clinically being used to treat people with serious addictions to more harmful drugs.  

Being depressed is bad enough, judgement without knowledge or understanding  only intensify the feelings.  Who cares what anyone one uses- young or old- to help ease their pain, I'd rather my child try medicated edibles for any condition cannabis has proven to help  rather than get them to take other more harmful & addictive options.  I've lived with it, I have watch it now for over 10 years.  I've seen how  both types of medicine affected our own son, I know how they both affect me.  Thank God for Cannabis.
