Some serious TLC for me. So, I painted Bears.

Bears in the Garden of love under an Aurora Borealis Sky - Having a terrific time.  
Bears 'Friend' is talented as you can see... he's carved a bong from a tree!  
I'm not sure what to name my bears... In my Binder of bears (I have a few now)  a story on each page & the bears are named. I've been thinking a lot about Gene Jelly so I might call him 'Broadway'.  From MY favourite movie &  'painting soon..
I've seen a hand caved wooden bong & met an artist from Japan, he gifted me a carved pendant.  Bears are ready for an evening of giggling, conversation surrounded by Cannabis and a  Supremely Spectacular Sky - who needs anything more?  LOOK at them!
Don't they look like they are ready for a jolly good time?  I know they are. 

On the original - I'm not sure how I did it but the sky looks like Northern lights!  
I'm starting a large Painting on Canvas.   Bear on Canvas -it should take me about 3 weeks of solid painting well into every  evening.  It will be cheerful and loving and full of flowers, fox, fungi, love, laughter, wolf, birds,  joy, butterflies and yes #cannabis of course.
I'll wake up every day and see it and Thank God for another day
& will continue to dare to dream!

Thank God. 
Less T.V for me.  Painting, Reading & Praying...  
with a bit of adventure here and there.
I am currently working on a smaller bear inspired by Charles Schulz Quote...  it's a bit frustrated and down at heart... that is life sometimes right?  Bear can't always be frolicking. 
It's a great way to 'paint it out' as well.. daily data processing. 

Spring is here.
My evenings are spent painting & imagining a relationship that is full of frolic, laughter & a bit of love thrown in..  I'm known for my persistence (smile), who knows?
NOW,  I'll keep painting & enjoy my bears with every stroke of my brush.  
Bear & Broadway make me smile.  Dare to Dream of better times.

* I gifted my BIG Purple GANESH Elephant -  to a friend of my sons since they were little, I use to teach him crafts he really liked it, I could see this... & I want to wish him LUCK & love. I just felt it was 'NOW' meant to go to  him.  He has a good heart this young man, I've always felt that about him.  :)  One Canvas leaves - another appears (I hope! lol) waiting for Bears!  

Painting, reading, praying.  

With Love

The USA is experiencing a drought, California the worst hit & I can not imagine it will improve any this summer...   Do you know how many WATER PARKS California has?   lol  Is it just me? Is it not common sense- to not WASTE WATER when you don't have it to waste to begin with?   Water..  if some have it their way - we will have to pay for every drop we drink and use. 
Moreover, under NAFTA, Canada is also precluded from denying US investors and service providers the same access to Canadian water it allows Canadian companies, communities, and residents.

• In a draft letter to Congress, the U.S. administration has outlined more than 40 goals for NAFTA, including the right to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports; removing barriers to U.S. agricultural exports, which could endanger Canadian supply management; and changing the dispute-resolution rules.

The world is running out of accessible water.
The UN reports that demand for water will increase by 55% over the next 15 years.
By that time, global water resources will meet only 60% of the world’s demand.
This is a recipe for disaster.
The water crisis could affect as many as 7 billion people by 2075.
Africa, India, the Middle East, and Australia are in crisis but so are “water rich” countries.
In China, since 1990, over half the rivers have disappeared.
In Brazil, there is terrible drought in Sao Paulo due to the destruction of the Amazon and the disruption of the mighty “flying rivers” that carry massive volumes of water vapours released by the rainforest on air currents to the South.
Parts of North America are also in crisis, including many US states. The Ogallala aquifer is being depleted. A major international study on groundwater mining says that the Great Lakes could actually disappear in 80 years.
If you think this impossible, consider the once mighty Aral Sea, the fourth largest lake in the world, now all but gone from over- extraction.

• NOW you know.. research
  The next time you are thirsty LOOK at your gass of water & thank God for it.
  It is our greatest lurury afforded by fewer & fewer daily.. 

BOYCOTT Nestle - listen to Rick Mercer Canadians- trillions of litres of water every day- they TAKE.    We may be a FREE country - OUR WATER IS NOT!!

With LOTs of LOVE   -as I drink my glass of water. Thank God.

P.S

Luckily, I DID not look at one photo of Trump - thankfully I was able to create this from my imagination, reading a current article in the Globe and noticed they don't call him President Trump...  'Mr. Trump.  I made his hands too big.. next time.

New Bear Tomorrow.

It's been a difficult week, it's not that I'm having an artist block - I can't seem to stop the ideas,  I'm just not in the mood.  Storm appeared at my studio door -  as long as I'm not 'sketching/thinking' you can speak to me - - - lol.   Visibly upset he reported the new 'proposed (from what I understand they are not set in stone YET) regulations around legalization. Under the new law if you give cannabis to a minor  you could go to jail as a major offence.  Storm remarked: 

"Mom, that means if it was 'now' - YOU would be doing more JAIL time  for introducing  me to cannabis than a pedophile parent who SEXUALLY abuses their kid." 

 I was speechless. Mouth ajar,  it took a moment to register ...   what?  
What did he just say?
Are you f*&%$#@ kidding me?  Is this the USA he is thinking about? 
Storm then turned and left.   

​This is terrible.  Cananbis has never killed anyone - offering a kid cannabis - is not the same as sexually abusing them and messing them up mentally for life!  
*** I AM NOT encouraging kids to use cannabis if they do NOT feel they need it.  Kids today are NOT stupid and I would rather they try IT first before they use pharmaceuticals which ARE proven to alter the brain and even encourage/cause suicide.  
I strongly believe there are many children/teens out there who could benefit from Cannabis.  
***IF ANY ADULT offers a child cannabis or ANY substance with the wrong intentions...
well they are just Nasty SCUM anyhow - there is NOT much anyone can do about it - WELL we could stop focusing on something that does not  physically HURT & focus on pedophiles - that would be a FANTASTIC start.  So many offer kids alcohol  to get them to PASS OUT.   A Strong cannabis edible would also make a kid pass out perhaps, I've never seen it.  Scum is scum.  EDUCATE your kids on SCUM before  cannabis.

Adults (mostly men) who have sex with children are mentally ill. 
Child abuse and child trafficking are on the increase. YOU have more danger today from your child being exposed to a pedophile on-line than you have to worry about cannabis.

Sending someone to jail for offering a minor cananbis - when a child RAPIST  gets less of a sentence is SHAMEFUL & FEAR mongering continued.  WHO made these rules?  More money and resources STILL wasted.  IF it is a NON VIOLENT CRIME
If it is scum offering kids cannabis with evil intentions- sure, give them what they deserve.


​You all realize...  I would be facing a major sentance.
I could be in jail for trying to HELP my son- longer than a parent who sexually abused their child.  There is something wrong with that- and it has nothing to do with cannabis    
PLEASE speak up and out and against this NEW regulation.  
No one deserve their lives ruined over a plant.  NO ONE!
That is WRONG.  Am I wrong?  
Focus.  We asked them to Focus, F-O-C-U-S and NOT fuck us.
Enough is enough. 

With Love

Time for me to Focus.

 NAFTA tomorrow- We need to be watching closely!!!
OUR WATER IS AT STAKE.

At last my love has come along! The only love I need.. Cannabis
It's perfect for long walks - on the beach or in the woods.  
It makes me feel better when blue..
It inspires creativity!  Help ease my physical & mental pain...

Rose colored glasses? No thanks, I'll take green.

Just a little painting/glitter fun- Editorial tomorrow Regarding 
our new Cannabis Regulations in Canada... are you F*cing kidding me?
Sounds like an American politician made some of these rules.

Editorial cartoon regarding New Canadian Cannabis  regulations Tomorrow.

Only the best bud for my little bud.  
Hand picked, dried & trimmed  with TLC & THC.

Imagine the education kids will get when parents can grow a plant and teach them all about it, taste it fresh - toss a bit in a salad!  Will children like the taste of fresh cannabis bud?
It won't kill them to eat it  & they won't get high.   Hmmmphh. 
Maybe they won't like it- it's kinda 'peppery tasting imo'  and just like broccoli - will they avoid it when ever they can - until they become adults and understand broccoli is good for us & quite tasty.

Time will tell.

with Love
