Alpaca bowl for ya!!   Yes, I know it's been done but I could not resist- mostly because I have a friend Ezra : http://www.ezsez.com  who takes  amazing photos of Alpacas in Hats   Could you resist an Alpaca in a hat? Not me!!   This is for a  Georgia Toons cannabis Greeting card collection - one of a set I'm offering  very soon.
On the inside it will say :  "Alpaca Bowl for Ya!"  

Cannabis cannabis cannabis- everyday in the news NOW - with only 23 days to go till legalization - and I've got a cartoon started on my desk about it titled:
 'THIS is legalization?    
Phhhbt.. 

​Have you read about Shoppers drug mart?  
They will be providing medical cannabis - You don't say?  
Do you remember when they were 'disgusted' by the thought of selling cannabis??!!  
I DO. I remember reading about it & crying, at a time when I was facing backlash for giving my own son cannabis as his medicine & a family member comments on the 'Shoppers story'.  Hypocrites.  Now that there is  $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to be made they sing a different tune. I wouldn't purchase it from them - those who push opiates at the same counter, STILL. Please remember this, please consider getting YOUR cannabis from a dispensary - A CANNABIS dispensary.  Shoppers Drug mart did not care about our health concerns just a couple of years ago - why should we support THEM now? 

What an amazing, enlightening, refreshing weekend I had.  Norm & I  went to the Georgina Farmers Market, before I even was in I saw along time friend & was sad to learn her husband is in ICU & not doing well. Then as we were leaving I ran into another friend (actually she came up to me and asked if her daughter could pat Ginger- not recognizing me at first) from when  we use to work together at Spiago's - she is doing well after a battle with cancer - I came away thinking- this life- this life feels like it sucks some days - for many. 

I came away realizing I am surrounded by awesome, strong, kind, compassionate  real life warriors dealing with life - good & bad everyday-  they rise above and they STILL don't turn into nasty, hurtful f*cks  like some others I've met. ADULT bullies with nothing bette to do.
It's brought me to a conclusion - Kids need to know that adult bullies exist & bully other adults.  TRUMP.   NOW - teach them NOW.  Learn to deal with  & recognize  bullies as they are a fact of life.       & WOMEN/girls should NEVER send naked photos.  
BE AWARE!  My bullies thought I was "just another Stupid Canadian"  who never saved emails...    they were wrong. 
 
Yesterday, I blew Norms mind - lol  It was one of those moments - TIMING.
I walked into the garage & he was struggling BIG time with somethings just made -  he looked at me & said (sheepishly) "I made it too big..."  I took one look and said  "No you didn't, you are looking  at it all wrong.."  - I  walked over flipped around his 'invention'  and the two of us did a bit of maneuvering and  it worked!! lol  He was shocked - I had just saved him more work - he thought he was going to CUT it down to fit properly.. he looked and said:    "You are so smart.."
"I know... "  I laughed and walked away.     I love it when that happens.   hee hee hee
 
It's a new day!  I am choosing celebrating all those who choose to make life better,  easier & more enjoyable for others - including myself!  All who are helping end this Cannabis stigma with a positive attitude  - especially in Canada!   

                                                       Spill any paint lately?   

Next: This is Legalization?

Do you know what comes after a new moon? A new day. 
With cannabis comes cannabis education & realization.  
I've got several girlfriends now with parents suffering from diseases..  
Dementia, Parkinson's  and miscellaneous aliments all have them stressed watching their moms deteriorate - of course.  It hurts me to hear of them (I knew them growing up) suffering - know what hurts more - when I KNOW without asking these people are now on medications altering their brains and many (if not all) still probably were not told about cannabis as an option.  Many will be on a mix of chemical cocktails proven to kill before their time'.   The option that won't kill you from an accidental  overdose is not offered, YET.

I'm beyond proud of cannabis & Canada - I truly believe this is going to improve our health as a Country with each NEW day comes new awareness.  Cannabis is not proven to change brain chemistry-  make it one of your first options to try treat pain & depression, PTSD, anxiety etc? RESEARCH.   I've met many people who suffer from anxiety & it varies from person to person,  WE ALL have reason to get anxious - TRUMP.. I feel it myself- to the point I CHOOSE to 'turn it off' and focus on something else. I CHOOSE to focus on my art- force myself. If I don't & let it ramble in my brain all day - who is to blame?
Do you think Trump thinks about me  all day - lol. No.  (Ewwwwwwwwww)
Do you see my point?

Nothing bothers me more when I see a beautiful, talented young woman who is wasting her life - being anxious about what others think of her and  lets face it - that IS what it
is all about  most of the time (we are all guilty of it) - because if we had no one to impress - we wouldn't care.  There would be no reason to feel anxious.
The problem is  I don't have time for bullshit or excuses, I'd rather paint.  Sound cruel? 
Do you want me to say: Poor you, stay home, hide away, put on weight, don't live your life, never experience things, blame others for your misery, never meet anyone, never share experiences, never reach your full potential - BECAUSE that is exactly the lie i'd be telling 'if' I did go along with the lies I'm told...   & that would be cruel of me.  
Life gives us a million reasons to be anxious.    Choose carefully.

The older I get I also feel it is true- my grandma drilled it into me:
God helps those who help themselves.
I've got no problem helping someone 'I see trying'. It's that simple. We all have to try. 
Trying at art, acting, knitting, anything - LIFE!  
If I can help or possibly offer some encouragement I do... the moment I meet someone ready to blame the world on everyone else and not try- I lose all patience & quickly move on.    Oh well. I'm not perfect - never pretended to be. - lol - This blog is proof. 

Women are still behind men - in all ways - is there any wonder we do feel anxious?
 I 'STILL' know many men who think women will never be their equal and should NEVER be considered their equal.  That is their loss.  & no they are not cavemen and not all OLD.  It doesn't help when WE  STILL constantly see naked women plastered all over - encouraged to be seen as sexual objects  & the facts are THAT IS how the majority of those images are being seen (If I'm wrong about these facts & statistics - I encourage you to enlighten me)  not as "ART" or beautiful human figures, or goddesses- no they are seen as objects men would like to F*&^.   Fact.   I get frustrated when I see friends who post their boobs with #FREEthenipple - are you really all about free the nipple?  
Then another post follows.. was/is that #freethecrotch  too?  #Freethe asscheeks?  Come on! 
Please think about the younger women who will SEE, watch & follow in our paths and they already struggle with serious sexual abuse & rape - on the increased due to social media and this casual approach to posting nude photos and a swipe to the left. 

I can only hope with cannabis legalization will come a new attitude - no more boobs and bongs... ha- there will always be a boob & bong market. It's a new moon, new day and time for a NEW cannabis image - positive, beautiful, clean, healthy & happy! & Safe!
​Women- this is your opportunity to rise up! Take ownership and Prove:  
We are more than boobs!  Excited for the NEW day  with Cannabis! 
We are MUCH more than a pretty face.

This pup= a gift from above!  It's been just a couple of weeks and this baby has stolen ALL our hearts already. Having an infant human is of course the best gift in the universe (imo) - those days are done for me- (hee hee - thankfully) but I still love babies & this puppy is a little miracle in herself!
I have been able to watch her learn how to do everything for the "first time'  it's comical and heart warming...  up and down stairs, eat kibble & bananas, taste REAL meat- which he LOVES - no kidding. Ginger is behaving like she was meant to be here!   I will say the first few days I was slightly concerned- explaining to the guys every time she hears "other dogs bark" she'd run and hide behind pillows or knapsacks or anything- so we focused to make her feel safe, loved and secure.. Now when other Dogs bark she runs for me - if not me- she runs for her big sister Daisy!  She already knows Daisy will protect her. 

If the photo above  upsets you - please don't get a pup! The photos above made me want to JUMP for joy!! lol  This little girl is only a couple of weeks old and is already doing her business on the pads - or outside!  We have no accident in 3 days - Hip Hip Hooray! You need PATIENCE when it comes to a pup! My girls  must get credit too- they are training her for me- when I say outside & they RUN- she follows.  Daisy is teaching her  how to play with toys and is incredibly gentle- it teaches me the nature of animals- the kindness, compassion & love they KNOW how to share.  Poppy teaches Ginger everything else! Play, fighting, drinking, napping etc- because Ginger Looks up to her big sister. I've never seen the tip of Poppies white tail wag like it does now that we have Ginger.

Ginger wakes up - looks at me -as if she realizes every time- "Oh yeah! There's my mom this is my home!"  & she jumps up to my face and gives me kisses - Thank You!!! I hear with each bounce.  Poppy's gets slightly jealous at times- when Ginger wants to take a turn napping on moms lap but I never take Poppy off if she was there first- she is still my special companion, working girl and rockstar... Ginger has to lean respect too.
Now that she KNOWS nothing BUT love- from all of us, is happy, safe, confident, playful & healthy- today the training begins,  since it's so lovely out - Norm & I were just saying today - let's chill, enjoy the sunshine and give 'Ginger her first swimming lesson- only a couple more weeks & the pool will close for another season (already).

I don't understand Humans who say "They are JUST dogs", it saddens me to hear this coming from no less - dog owners.  I know Dog owners who have abused, hurt, neglected and forgotten their dogs.  YOUR dog would save your home & life if capable- many do. Dogs are the BEST security IMO too- we were just informed this morning  by the police - a string of 'break ins' happened in this area on Saturday night.   With  our dogs - just  step on the front lawn (because we don't have  side walk) and our dogs KNOW it and so will everyone else- that is when I do allow them to BARK.  One sleeps by the window at might.  They also bark when someone is at my elderly neighbours front door! Good, she likes it too.  I can tell when by the pool, if someone is in my driveway just by how my dogs bark.
'Just dogs'..  hardly.

I do however understand when people say (& I have several friends who all agree):
The more people they know the more they like dogs.  
Do yourself a favour- consider getting a dog to love - they'll love you right back if you treat them well.  All I really understand is my heart feels empty when I have no dogs in my life (never happen if I can help it) they are our family.  Yesterday Storm invited us for a rooftop BBQ and the whole family went in our new truck, such a comfortable drive. Norm said - "I had to have the crew cab - for the CREW!" I was so please  to se them all happy - they have so much room behind our seats & if we go anywhere we will easily put a 'tub of ice water with them - incase we have to run into a store.. we don't like to do that though if avoidable.
They had a great day up on the roof - Poppy seems to love city life- watching every streetcar and barking at anyone who dares looked up in our direction. I was frightened about he rood top - already the girls don't even go NEAR the edge! They just know.   Daisy loves to be with her boy and Scruffy could care less - about anything. Ginger. Ginger is happy to have her new forever family.
 Pat your dog! Thank them today for all the love they provide.

 Today I painted a Halloween tiki! Yesterday a garden tiki.. the day before a pink passionate love filled tiki!  I can't get enough..  I put a piece of wood down, turn up the music, get my girls settled, spark a joint and let my imagination & pencil run wild! YeeeeeHeeeee!  I love painting these Tiki!!  I laugh at myself - I was determined to paint a canvas a day- who knew it was tiki Time? They are more fun that canvas imo, I currently have 3 hanging in my bedroom! I wake up, look over & smile - WAKE up to another CREATIVE day!!  Happy to be Alive - Blessed that I get to stay home with my dogs, paint ART that makes me and others SMILE & laugh,  I don't know what else I could want - well, perhaps the same thing  on a few acres in up North in my own studio..  How will I pack the bluejay?  ;) 

Norm's got the 'Tiki  fever' - like it or not- lol - I think he likes it- he laughs  every time he see's a finished tiki - loved the 'first custom' - he remarked I really "caught the look & feel" of the male tiki in it. I'm glad because after he works all day - he comes home to cut out Tiki! lol & he is building a Tiki Hut display booth!  Why not?  It reminds me of TY booth days gone by...  currently on #17 tiki -but that includes my other 'Tiny Tiki - "Hook-Em-Eh!"  they are called.. what a hit! IF you show up the TWTIKI booth you can 'try  before you buy.'
 We played on the weekend with Storm and had several giggles - I KNOW they will go.
I'll be loading the video on Instagram any day of  my first  Purple passion "Hook-Em-Eh!"   DEMO- hee hee .  These TWTiki are NOT work.. they started with a funny idea, I am truly enjoying creating, thinking, giggling and excited to CREATE each one..   pure pleasure.
That & I realize I'm not thinking about any bullshit or *anyone. 
I'm doing what I am meant to be doing.

The official name is :   TINI Weenie Tiki '  
;D Can you guess why?

I decided to have fun & a giggle with my first Tiki- called "the Shaman" I can not get the Shaman out of my mind for some reason- he's about to do BIG things...  history changing.   You 'meet' him here NOW!  I wasn't sure what to paint 'when at that area' - should I paint 'a leaf' to make it 'kid friendly' -  and I realized - NO- that is part of the problem. Men have penises- fact- we must talk about them and teach kids what is acceptable & not acceptable as soon as possible to avoid any problems in life.  Help eliminate #metoo for our young children before they can say... #metoo.   What better way yo educate than with FUN- and creating an opportunity for conversation - kids will think it's just 'simply funny '- because they are.

Sure enough  when I finally showed Storm after painting the 6th, my own son  said: "Do they have to have a penis??"  LOL!  (eye roll) so - you can thank him for the added detail of the TiniWeenieTiki Skirts - more fun! hee hee hee  - if you don't want anyone to see the 'tiniweenie - don't tell them! Leave the skirt on- I'm not showing any TiniWeenies here!  Hee hee hee - if you want to see you have to come see them in person. ;)

They will be seen on my 'Tree Videos' - how I'll be introducing them on IG. 
'I'll paint a tini weenie penis on this tiki  & ALL of them - to remind us we are all human and not to let our TINI Weenie rule our  big heads. Male & female.  The next thing I knew a complete tiki sat in front of  me - from wood to Tiki - it took Norm minutes to cut it for me & he also paints the backs black & applies hardware & clear coats them to protect them should they be hung outside- but i don't reccomend it- they will get ruined in time - unless you hang them in a sheltered area- like in a covered tiki bar.   These Tiki are good to go - 
Hang in your front entrance hall to welcome your guests or in your bedroom to wake each day with a smile - I know.

The tiki who need one also come with a Tini Weenie Tiki  Skirt - detailed with fun mementos (Provided by the clients for custom) I wire on to each one- SO- only the owner knows whats under that little grass skirt!  Is it a big weenie or a TINI Weenie- No matter - you seen one you seen them all! It's just a Tini Weenie...  no matter, everyone who looks at them smile- and then you cans see as their faces follow it down from top to bottom - a giggle escapes at the awareness of the tiniweenie. It's all about fun.
 
AS I create  I sing, pray  & play with the girls &  I 'bless'  (Ginger took her first dip) every Tiki & as I tie on the tiki skirt - The LAST detail in one of many - I touch that Tini Weenie  & tell EACH Tiki:

Behave!
Be Good!
Have fun!
Maker others Laugh!
Teach Only Love for that is what you are little tiniweenietiki.. created out of love.

 Canada Day July 1st, I sat in the gazebo late & listened & watched the fireworks reflect off the pool...  Poppy was on the sofa, I was in a chair with my feet up on a stool,  in the past Tequila suffered greatly during fireworks - shaking violently, crying & cowering- we were relieved when she went deaf letter in life.. as long as she didn't see them she remained calm so I never sat out and 'enjoyed' them in a while.  Fact - the busies days for the SPCA- after fireworks- when TOO many pets go missing from being terrified.

As I listend to the 'weeeeeeeeeeeeee" and POP!!, BANG!! & "Screeeeeeeeeecccccchhhhhh' of the fireworks - I realized how it is for us- In Canada & America they are sounds associated with JOY.  Fireworks = celebration! Party, food, fun with family & friends! YeeeeeeHawwwwww.  
Suddenly one of my CLOSE neighbours let of a POP!! & Poppy flew off the sofa - under the chair at the same time  'DAISY (big baby)  & Scruffy FLEW up an onto my lap!! lol  
I then realized the girls were not enjoying it as much as I was and how frightening the sounds must be for them so we went in - Bird too was trembling in his cage, when normally he's still flying around the room.

It hit me then... these sounds we associate with Joy - Please forgive me Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico, Somalia... (and others) my ignorance astounds me sometimes- these noises 'we' associate with Joy- you must only associate with death.  So many innocent people live under constant destruction, bombs and screeching across the night sky.  They don't have hot dogs & burgers, no sparklers or kids in *bouncy tents.. they hardly have clean water to drink.  America is responsible for much of the destruction, drones, bombing of innocence - look at Vietnam.  

When you enjoy your fire works tonight stop & listen.
Try to imagine for only a minute istening to those familiar sounds under different circumstances. The screams not from fireworks but from mothers who lose their babies.
Would you want to stay in these countries? Wouldn't you want the chance at a better life? 
At a LIFE??
I would.

No more fireworks for me, I'm done. A waste of money and they hurt wildlife too - Birds especially - do you know  birds drop out of the sky due to shockwaves, hundreds at a time,   I WAS thrilled to READ WE are stopping - YEAH Canada!
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-banff-ditches-big-bang-canada-day-fireworks-to-protect-wildlife/   Another fine example of leading first! 

This just pissed me off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5gXkERQ8M0 
People 'laughing' as their own dogs go after fireworks- some encouraging them- how fucking careless & STUPID  - what if the dogs face gets blown off you ^%$#&* idiots.  
Don't think it can happen? It does ALL the time. 
https://www.causes.com/causes/121564-against-fireworks-in-lebanon/updates/491597-fireworks-harm-and-kill-animals  
Horses have heart attacks.. WTF  is wrong with us that we continue this selfishness? 

You know why? Because we are NOT in Syria, Mexico or any other war torn country listen to screaming, seeing homes destroyed, babies lying gin the streets, orphans because mom was cooking when the apartment exploded, limbs blow off, death and decay in the streets. Instead we'll have our beer & hotdogs, sparklers and laughs as our pets chase fireworks.

I called it 'As above - So below'  because I feel (regrettably)  that America is causing so much pain it's only a matter of time - before they experience the wrath they put on others and then when theses 'Immigrants"  have nothing they are turned  away or PUT in cages AS we are NOW witnessing...   after they blow up their homes & countries  because of GREED.

By the way- Fireworks  kill and harm many children & adults too.  
Here is a site that will help you prepare to help your animals  tonight if YOU care:

* Just learned today - Bouncy towers/castles harm & kill more kids than cannabis. 
                                           WTF is wrong with our priorities. 

It's officially summer... perfect time for a summer vacation - break.
Summer & just over 100 days to cannabis legalization, every time you turn around your reading about it, I have an abundance of material.  I'm going to try to focus on positive when it comes to cannabis art & keep it currently Canadian. I highly recommend the Cooking On High - on netflix. 

I'm tired of Trump.  
Everyday I feel more drawn into the hate that swirls around everything Trump... sucking me down into a spiral of hopelessness for America.  I get very heavy hearted thinking about my american friends (I've met so many over the years, sent so many past cards...  I'm sorry,  frig the last  thing I want to do is add to your misery at the moment,  (I am afraid for you)  I get why I am so pissed off...  I care.  I can't turn on the TV & forget what's happening.  I don't understand how any sane person can support him and all his evil.. he has me fearful for Americans, let alone the rest of the world. What do you do about it?
We are BOMB barded with his antics & lies - daily & hourly.  I am TUNING OUT.

I'm taking a social media break - Todays post on IG will the the last for a few weeks if not longer - we'll see.  I've set up my camera again and am working on some time-lapse art lessons. The one I posted -- sorry BTW, I can't load it onto my computer - if you want to see it it's on my IG account- which is currently private because I like to check out everyone if I can  &  'accept all'.   It's a vid our cat and I was trying out some new gold paint - OMGouache! It makes me tingle with excitement.      https://www.instagram.com/georgia.toons/    so you will be see more of these when I resume. I do know they will help some learn how to paint- as This is how I have learned  & still have much learning to do.

The past 3 weekends I've spent completely  alone, no speaking, no socializing.. painting and peace.   I get up at 5, nap, eat, watch what I want, go to bed when I'm beat and don't argue with anyone but the girls  as they all stare me down while I try to enjoy a bite... or Bird when he goes on a squeaking tangent for attention - a "Bird! Knock it off You little Feathered F*...!"      - He does, I giggle and he swipes a smack at my head in a "fly bye'.  

I feel I don't know how to live with 'others  it seems at this point.
& do feel all I seem to do is make everyone angry, when I try to talk about current events- I'm told  -I'm depressing.  It is depressing.   What are we to do?  I don't believe turning blind eye helps, I can't 'be amused' by the current movie just released.  God has a purpose for me - it is to draw, I know this not because of my cool name ;), & no, I don't literally hear God speak to me, not even on 'drugs'.  I know this because it is what I love to do above all else and seem to do best -it calms my brain & lifts my heart.  I know this because people are  touched when I share my art with them, especially when they do realize I don't want anything in return, I have forgotten who has got what over the past 10 years - the brain thing meant to happen, I can't possibly keep track... all I know is it is when I feel LOVE in my own heart is when I share something special with someone thought my painting, cards, cartoons, crafts.   My art seems to make people 'feel' &  it's NOT all about feeling good.
 A lot of time for Reflection 

The next few weeks posts will be mostly  images   & few words.
I won't be showing my finished art - only hints of what I'm currently working on while trying to avoid  any Trumpinsania Mania.  The next few weeks I'm pulling a 'Monet's Garden -he painted in his own garden,  surely I can find as much in mine.  Everything is NOW on the verge  of blooming and I'm going to paint one canvas every day by the grace of God. Acrylic - all sizes, gouache as well.

I'm pulling a Monet so I don't feel like a Van Gogh  I just want to be Georgia'.
In many ways like Georgia... without the younger man,   It's such a true statement (in the article) - it was o.k. for all those OLD ARTIST men - like Picasso (who raped a 17 year old)
BUT not for Georgia.  Will double standards ever cease to exist?

It's almost 9 a.m. you won't believe the day we have had! lol
Yesterday,  the girl & I went for a short drive to a big pond.  Hoping to spy some geese for my painting, I love birds of course Canadian Geese are in the top 10 - watch this guy being attacked by a goose protecting it's babies.. hee hee what a good guy - I'd give  him my original if I knew who he was it has me giggling.  This past week I was crying about geese, someone attached and killed a bunch of geese & a little one survived. Who does shit like that? I don't care if it is a kid or adult - they are sick, they need help. They need to go to JAIL. They'll 'IF caught' get no more than a slap on the hands and probation- our priorities are  F*cked up when we put people in jail for 'growing pants' and others - who are clearly cruel & sick  - remain free.

We are seeing our own gun violence, two little girls where shot by someone aiming at another - he has already been caught,  Amen.   He will go to jail - forever I hope.

Back to yesterday, Daisy LOVES her amazing Aerobie (I highly recommend)  a very expensive Frisbee -  Cheap $2.00 frisbees she destroys as she carries them back- usually after only 3 throws, the also expensive red kong frisbee are crap! $15. She can't break them but they are floppy and don't  go the distance -  but this Aerobie  $20.00 (I found one - it was how I knew it flew so well)   t's so easy for me to throw,  light in weight and goes far! & as long as I take it from her - she won't chew on it,  great for a dooggy WORKout.  Yesterday, she took it into the pond to get a drink! It floated out and sank - the water all muddy and she would not/could not then find it - I was pissed! lol  Grrr.  
I woke today - made coffee, read the paper and thought  - let's Go!  By 6:30 we were back at the pond walking around and there it was!! Just under the waters surface at the edge enough I had to jump in and walk a few feet with the frogs! We were elated, hee hee.

Back home & in the Pool for an hour! The air was still cool this a.m & the pool was warm! Now, I'm ready for bed - LOL   No... - NOW, Im ready to paint! A strip has been started about marketing cannabis - I'll share next,  my goose has to be finished and a tiger by the tail.. a lama.. and crafting kitties, another 'drawing about a past experience... my plate & pallet are full...   & and don't forget Oz!   It's gonna be HOT!! I plan of staying cool by the pool - giving thanks to God for such a beautiful day and all we are blessed with.

I'm not the only Canadian who is not currently shopping USA BTW Read about this woman:​ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/pocketbook-patriotism-hallman-1.4709439?cmp=news-digests-canada-and-world-morning
Being here watching what is happening, feeling as though we have no say at all-- it is the only way many KNOW we can make a difference, HIT TRUMP where it hurts- MONEY.  I have already paid an 'American crafter' for  another service - IF I believe in the Artist- I don't care where they live or who they are or who their president is - but I will try to buy all other stuff Canadian (especially groceries - and that IS easier than you think. Just not anything from the USA until he is GONE. #buyCanadian.

Well - the girls & I have another full day to ourselves, seeing as it is fathers day and Storm took his dad fishing,  I hope ever dad spends the day with their kids, not the T.V.  BECAUSE that is what it is ABOUT.  Happy Fathers day to all deserving DADs!
​& all the moms that have to be dads too.

This little guy was too sweet not to enjoy painting him. 
Another artist asked if I'd consider painting a sloth with cannabis & luckily I'd already gave it thought when panting my mushroom sloth. Natural medicine on my mind and taking it easy..sloth life.  Have you see photos of Sloths?  I've never seen a sloth live' - thats to some strangers - I have seen them all over the world now.  Sharing, teaching educating others.. this is what we are doing..  The good the bad & the ugly, or how else will it ever change?

My son expressed slight upset (I don't discuss the things with anyone but my homeboy, FYI) at my post - my reply was  "I love you, it is a problem, I'm sorry but It IS how I feel."   People have to realize they are not alone... especially young women - young artists. I have known several young women far less confident than I was who are already struggling.   I can help by admitting 'here's me' and it's been a struggle of an on for a good part of my life- I KNOW get why. Why does not matter NOW, I'm good with the past & all in it.

My problem 'now' is usually brought on by physical  jolts of pain, my heart & mind are good because I AM good with God.  With Storm moved, Norm and I have had lots of time to 'chat'  I feel an awakening has shifted.. somewhere.   Let's  avoid any unnecessary bickering - this is how it is..   stuff - Right?  

Of course my Sloth is grinning he's got his carved wooden bong on his back- and a lovely Indica to help get him in the mood for some peaceful, calming, R & R.

I'd hang out with him - how about you?
I associate with a sloth, alone, slow, content - covered in moss if we sit too long & loves to swim.  :D  Happy Sloth to you! 
He will make a cute little cananbis card,   Inside words:

Can I come hang with you? Or  Hanging with you keeps me SMILING!   

Next a cananbis Tiger & then... Dorothy & the  Scarecrow.

 Made with TLC & THC of course.

I was informed some suggest Anony was possibly murdered.  
It might be possible. Robin Williams too was a shock..    
You know what's a bigger shock 1 in 10 Canadians every day take their own life.


Right now- I'm good  I'm in Gods hands happily playing with paint & tigers & bears & lions oh My!  I love my son. I am excited to watch his adventure! 

My new 'thing' on Instagram is to find other 'Georgia's' - introduce myself and send them a card - 'Us 'Georgia's have to stick together'.. lol  Why not.. it started for fun - a curiosity- many  Georgia's have the same traits' -  Does this apply to people with your name? 
They are usually artistic- musically inclined and all are lovely - of course ;)  
 A while back I decided to "gift a Georgia - Georgie' an original.. a unicorn -Fuck Yeah!" & it was also my most serious mail mix up & Georgie' had to mail something back to Canada for me, hee hee.  Georgie liked her Unicorn and my style and asked if I would accept a commission - I was somewhat hesitant until she asked for it to be a 'Bear rendering' - of her & her honey!  I said - 'sure'.

Once I finally started -weeks later- I realized JUST how much I needed to paint my bears! Thank You Georgie.  It was a boost I needed - these bears turned out better than I imagined.
I looked over Georgie's Instagram  page, got a feel' & came up with these TWO loving creatures.  I also realized I do not wish to cover my bears in clothing, luckily Georgie has great hair & you can see it on her bear.

I painted them with  TLC & THC of course.

 I spent yesterday reading about cannabis legalization in Canada!
WOW, I can believe cannabis is legal- the 'relief' I felt  was surpassing - even to myself
I can hardly drag myself from desk- painting Oh Happy Day!
Oh Canada!  Oh Cannabis - Thank God.

Thank you ..  Prohibition has failed (again) - the time for legalization was NOW.
