Something missing?

20/1/2021

0 Comments

 
All paintings start with great intentions - or why even start.
Soon some are not going thedirection I first imagined and I start to wonder if I should even continue... yes!  My intentions were good and I just need to remind myself, not let myself talk myself, out of it.  It's easy to do - the difficult task wl be to work through each painting and see it to the end, not give up or walk away.
Isn't that most of us,  full of good intentions?  Are you?  Or are your intentions bad?
Picture
My intentions  to have a winter sky that you would want to be drawn to - these vibrant pink cool skies are breathtaking and breath awareness as you see what you say in a cloud of frozen mist.  It also reminds me of how covid can travel.   Soon the bear appeared  but it was going in a direction, I didn't for see.
Picture
A friend received his vaccine in the USA, I am happy for him as he is also a teacher & it's important if you are in particular forced to work during the pandemic (which won't be going anywhere soon)  amongst groups in particular, if it eases his mind, I am thrilled for him.  
Something still missing in the panting.. what would thrill this bear?  What thrills me out in the woods in the spring  - we never know what will pop up from under this blanket of snow.
Picture
Soon!  As the world turns.. it will be spring and morel season with more fresh air and less confusion surrounding covid (here's hoping).  So even though this painting took a few directions on it's own   it ended well because it started with GOOD intentions.   ;)
What are your intentions, what, who - do you  think about all day & are your intentions good?

​Don't you know...  you reap what you sew.

I'm off with more good intentions, wishes, miracles to meditate on & more.
More bears... the next bear is called the Discovery, sneak peek below.  
Look what a beautiful morning God provided  ALL OF US to start this day with good intentions!

Portrait time!

My newest portrait - is of a local’  (a friends girlfriend)  I’m taking a break from the post office, the line ups are long, the mood sombre so I’ll pass for now, I’m sure I can find enough locally to paint.  I could use a GRID when painting & these portraits would be much more accurate but I like how they look - free hand.  It’s also a very enjoyable process , NOT trying to be too realistic,  I know in the past I’ve tried to make something look ‘perfect’ - it’s stressful…  painting for me is about joy - It’s always a joyful experience or I walk away.  
I enjoyed this painting  - what a relaxing way to pass a grey day.

Lockdown has commenced, again.  Stay home - just do it.
We have no plans to venture out, hopefully we’ve enough groceries for a couple f weeks, the critters have food - time to enjoy the slitter and focus on our passions & goals.  On a  side note- I have been pigging out, not eating healthy - not junk but still way too much fried for example - it’s a slippery slope when you have no where to go, so for my health, I’m knocking it off.   Give me fruit!   I’d miss fruit, if we did not have any.. I’m excited for berries this summer.  

It’s a new day! A new opportunity to become closer to God & yourself…  
I’ve got an Oar on my desk, a canvas started on the easel & a new tiki idea  fluttering in my mind.  You can still shop LOCALLY,  curb side pick up - please continue to support local business.   Today I’m also starting anew project with Norms assistance & turning my closet into a desk ares- I have cloths I will never wear  like skirts - due to my psoriasis being as visible as it is- I doubt I’ll wear the sort of dresses that show my legs - all being donated this week… making room for more creativity.

Have a terrific day! 
Impeaching Trump - twice that’s a good start.​

These two, Ginger & Arrow - Love Hate.. relationship.
They are an endless source of entertainment, they love to bug each other and make no bones about it.  I love my dogs.   Isolation doesn't seem so isolating with them around me all day.  Nap times is especially fun, I have trained my dogs to nap when I nap - I go and get all snuggled in and it doesnt take 5 minutes before they all arive & snuggle in too - I thank God for them everytime.

Constant love, un conditional.  They are quick to forgive and so am I - with them.
Arrow will absolutly train me to paint black dogs better.

The USA & TRUMP - what can I say?  Not my monkies not my circus... I do agree with the opinion, had it been blacks or muslims who stormed the capital - bullets would have been used on them - instead of a glorified  bunch of redneck photo shoots.  When will it end? 
Imagine - the president of the Untited States of America-  has been blocked from Facebook & twitter - for being an asshole. It's an editorial cartoonist dream - or nightmare. 

I have 9 screeching 'BLUEjay bird houses' - on my kitchen table waiting for paint & then delivered to Tom in Minden by Monday- heads up for any that are interested. These custom team work bird houses have proven to be a hit & have helped raise money for the comunity- lots to sqwak about.   On the easel- a portrait- female.  On the desk- my next patio FUNGI  door lock/bar...

So much to paint - so few hours in a day. 
I love it when I wake up and my desk invites me to GET  CREATING
 In my tiny studio - big things happen!

Happy Saturday!

    Yesterday was Norms birthday!  He worked on his shop - best birthday gift EVER .. lol
He’s 60 & he’s in great shape - it’s from all this hard farm work!  Birthing goats & chasing chickens has kept him fit as a fiddle… lol - more like building coops, barns. a shop, chopping down trees- yeah!  Norm won’t ever look at wood the same again. We were going to celebrate later in the evening with movie & I was making dinner but then… I had some sense knocked into me.   Literally.

I am forever telling Norm & HAVE even blogged about it - one reason many people fall in their homes is…. their dogs.  I have 5 who love me and follow me  everywhere, as you know.  I was painting in my studio, standing.. music - deep in deer snow- and I turned to get paint - turned back and Arrow was at my feet and down I went.   I protect my hands because I know they’ll break so I did not use them, instead I used my head to stop my fall - it bounced off the metal track - between my studio & house.  
I could not google  'concussion symptoms'...   it hurt that bad.
Serious dog training happening - RED tape lines they CANNOT cross - like the kitchen.
I’ll also add my girls freaked out,  they knew I was not joking and were all trying to help me up… Norm arrived a few moments later. 

Not much else happened last night, quiet, bed and today OUCH.  No concussion symptoms, Thank God. Yes, I think I actually  needed to have sense knocked into me - on a few issues- I was hurt enough to wonder if I was gonna die - for a few seconds.  I called Storm to tell him I love him.  Went to bed in pain and did not sleep…  I did talk to Jesus & have had quite a bit of clarification..   a nice calm has consumed me.   ;)  Actually grateful for the fright.

 Although sore to touch, even raise my eyebrows- I am absolutely clearer headed on several issues, humans and STRONGER than I was yesterday. AMEN.
I woke today and thanked God for it & said "o.k.! Let's prove it Jesus!"  lol    Wait & see.

I painted this deer for this stranger  “Ted” I met once  at the feed store in Halliburton (Phil is a great guy & very helpful  if you need seed/feed/animal stuff) I gave Ted my number because he said it was nice to have someone enjoy his photos.   This past year he has shared many beautiful photos of deer, flowers, butterflies, pine weasels, turkeys, amazing chickadees  and always a kind word or take care… thats’ it.  
I realized.. this stranger has absolutely been a positive light in 2020, and I wanted to say Thank you.  I’m pleased how it turned out,  inspired by a photo he sent,  playing with light & snow.

I realized we (me included) rarely ponder some people who are kind & thoughtful yet become ‘thought obsessed’  dwelling on others - who don’t even have the kindness in them to stop & say "hello" or even offer a smile - let alone kind word... 
Worse, we waste our thoughts & precious time on intentionally nasty people - robbing ourselves of  time & joy we could be thinking of the kind people we do have around us. Focus on Love, light Kindness…  I shall.
Let the Universe...    God, focus on the rest.

My head/mind needed the  alignment.
I needed to go & spend time with Jesus in prayer, thought, love.  

Excited to start the next painting!

Bumble is back! & friends.

Bumble has come out of hibernation! Rudolph too...  Norm had to fine tune them to make sure all is working nicely as Bumble & Rudolph are going on a wee adventure where they will be enjoyed by many tiny humans (big too & not just the bears.
It was  neat to see it up. It still makes us smile - Bumble with this black background night sky'-  is even more impressive.  I'm very happy it will be enjoyed tho, as I feel this Holiday won't be the same in too many ways due to covid. 
While he put it up the dogs helped as did I when I filmed him & couldn't stop laughing, due to his positioning at the time, I'll let you know where they are as soon as set up, in case you'd like to drive by and have a peek!

In celebration I've decided to paint a Bumble to give away on Instagram as well as painted a time-lapse bumble in case anyone wants to make one themselves!  This is 6x6 wood panel from the dollar store and acrylic paint: White, Black, Blue (dark - I used Cyan), Red.  & I used what I have, dollar store paint will work great!  I also put on a coat of  'Mod podge'  (available at most stores in the craft isle)  watered down *this step is optional.

I think for any Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer fans - this would be a sweet little gift and it looks cute sitting on a shelf!  It's easy enough for children - step by step simple lines and shapes. When you sketch your bumble press harder with the pencil- so you can see it easier.  I can't stress enough letting it dry - in between steps or you will end up with a messy bumble... if working with children you could take a coco break & talk about feeling left out or being made fun of just like Rudolph.
Don't forget to add on the back :Name & date  

Below is Bumble in steps with simple instructions below each image.
To see the TimelapseVideo of Bumble being painted you'll have to chek my Instagram page Georgia.toons   Have fun

My son dropped off a gift!  A 'handme down'- that ROCKS & ROLLS!  lol 
I have wheels again!  
My little white PU was no longer reliable for long journeys, does not have 4 wheele drive and was no longer a 'joy to drive, worried  each outting - if I'd make it back home. 
No more worries!  Storms 'old truck runs great & is roomy for my girls, already broken in with Daisy Dog hair.
I can wait to take them hiking, I am a doggy limo driver & LOVE it.
Storm got  a new vehicle, exciting times -  I remember my first new truck & how exciting it was - reason for a road trip!  I drove  by myself to Halifax & back (when 20) - with my new truck..    I'm elated for Storm as I know how hard he works and the 'distance' he goes.  

I did not go for a drive due to fucking covid and having to wear a mask and stuff... puppy, baby goats - stuff.. I hope to take a road trip with him sooner than later  as son as this is over. I'm already planning where we will go first... it's going to be fantastic driving with the girls not cramped in the tiny area behing my seat. lol   
Currently the snow has me keeping the fire going and working on some projects happening for the holidays.

I am IN full  creative mode, by the grace of God.
My preffered place to BE.

I giggled thinking - it must be for all those great driving lessons I gave him ! Hahaha
When he was 15.. driving home one day on the back empty farm roads, I pulled over and said " Time for you to drive! You're getting your license soon."  I still remember the look of shock - is 'she messing with me?'  on his face.   When he realized I was serious, he jumped in the drivers seat and drove with a grin from ear to ear.. for about 20 minutes.
One old truck passed us -in the opposite direction and he tried to sit taller in the seat.  
hee hee hee     Countless hours were spent in the highschool parking lot- practicing parking in between the lines,  I let him drive everywhere, he was a very good driver.. from the start,  what a relief it was to see & learn... I slept easier because of it.  

​My son and I went on many adventures especially to the city for our TY EXPO- - some of the best memories were created and the best conversations on our long drives.
​I'm forever grateful for every mile.  I look forward to our continued journey & long drives.

It was a full circle moment for me & my heart feels a bit bigger. 
Nice to be loved.
Blessed to be - Thank you God.
Next- Hairy PAWter ;)

Gloating Goat

                                        Gloating Goat acrylic on wood panel. 12 x 16

Indica is a content goat.  I like to see him basking in the fall sunshine in his chair.
I wonder what he is thinking...    The yellow in this painting 'pops in the sunshine. 
We have happy goats & chickens,  no wonder my goat gloats'...    he loves to be brushed and is super cheeky, when I go in the coop- he stands against the door (locking me in) looking in the windows, he is quite playful.

Cannabis Kitty & everlasting mushrooms

Meow! Thsi kitty was an experiment!  I found some leaves - dried a few years old! lol
So I'm playing..   These are real cannabis leaves attached to this painting. Painted just fo these leaves. It's a secret how- and I'm not sure how well they will fare,  now I'll watch to see if they deteriorate or fade.  He's a bright kitty to face hanging around.  My cat is OLD.
I wasn't going to bring the cat- I didn't...   I left he cat with Norm as he finished the last house.. I thought - it's too old it will get out & get lost or eatten by a wolf.  I even suggested he put it down, I want sure what to do. He brought the cat.

Fluffy loves it. He goes out and hangs out ont he deck all day, he LOVES it- No traffic - all the mice & birds he can catch.  Kidding... He can't catch anything anymore - but he can imagine.  I am done with felines for this reason - bird killing.   Bird won my hear like no other little bird, I'm still missing him - big time. 
So Fluffy will live until Fluffy no longer lives.  I hope I never have to put another pet down ever- now we have a bungalow - it helps them too.   No stairs - less problems. More bungalows need to be built.

Time to get out - while the gettings good.  Time to work on that Christmas Gift! I will show you - because they don't know me or even know that I am painting it ;)  Have a great day. 
EAT healthy, pat the dog and practice deep breathing! 

Below is a mushroom craft I made by using leftover cement from Norms current project.  SUPER easy & cute I think - not to mention everlasting!  Pour leftover cememnt into empy catfood, yogurt - any small round containers.   Stick in LONG, finger thick (at least) sticks for stems and leave them to dry.   48 hours later - pop them out of the plastic and paint and add sme spots! I painted mine brown but mushrooms come in just about EVERY colour in real life - so go nuts!   I think they look very cute grouped together.  A few photos below have fun.

This view tho...  My studio is tiny and I'm constantly changing it to make is as 'fucntional' as possible.. if I ever feel cramped or frustraited  I Look up & Look out. Wow.    
Especially right now,  all the rain we've had - how glorious & green is the garden! 

Norms busy on the roof- getting ready to put in our RED fireplace - I'm very excited, and the past few mornings have been chilly - wee.  
Canada has approved Psilocybin research for 4 Canadians - cancer patients  AMEN! ABOUT time - hurry up with the red tape and help more Canadians access this medicine - proven to assist with anxiety and depression.  Here is the thing.. may ARE accessing it - NOW - illegally, because they know  the potential and to put anyone in jail for this' - is a cannabis all over again. Read: How to change your Mind, watch the countless documentaries on Psilocybin & Micro dosing, Educate yourself on the topic - KNOW - don't judge.  
Books too...  around for decades.  The time is NOW.

I attribute Psilocybin to finally helping me  DEAL with he past instead f shoving it aside..  a life of depression  which I understand NOW (completely out of my control) until older & wiser & learning how to acknowledge, embrace & accept my past is what is helping me heal. 
Like it or not- I don't care.. don't read it.  NOT just that BUT 2 really caring, helpful doctors who have always taken he time to listen and acknowledge & help..  the psilocybin were the  finally push - I needed.  Mushrooms have taught me I am LOVED.  Ha.  Go figure.

It was indeed a evening with Psilocybin when I drew  'my past' - on paper for my own eyes to see so - I could NO LONGER deny.  
Mushrooms made me step back and acknowledge:
 Hold On!
What the fuck!??
That's enough.
​
You are a child of god.. created to create!
Amen.
