Every morning we walk the driveway!
Up to the top.. check out the rocks & sunshine & cell service - lol.
On mornings I am sore I do it with a joint - this also helps keep away the mosquitos.
Banana peels really take away the itch out of a bite. 
I keep my peels in the fridge for when they are required.  

Snakes - 2, raccoon 1, deer 1.... chickadees - many! Frogs, grasshoppers & many butterfly & moths, we are surrounded by life  & death - may as well make the best of both & enjoy each moment.
 
Currently on my desk are 3 different projects- creativity is at an all time high & I've thought of a few new cannbis painting's I'd lke to do!  
The common hashtag here is #myhaliburtonhighlands  ... it certinally is.
I also painted one of our waterbarrels - much needed on the days it gets dry up here... better than using our well water.. the day Norm hooked it up- it rained not 5 minutes later. 
No Water - No Life.
No Blue - No Green.

Thirsty?  Take a drink.. & give thanks.

B is for Bugs Bunny  & B...

9/4/2019

 This is a tribute to Chuck jones - an artist & animator - I absolutely loved Bugs bunny growing up!  Bugs is smart - very funny, playful and often violent - but only to those who deserved it..  only after you heard:  Of course you know, this means war.
Bugs was one of the first trans dressers too! In many cartoons he puts on  womens clothing and rocks it like no other - by far one of my favourites is the Hillbilly cartoon where they promenade left..      This Bugs Bunny is chilling - Bugs style reading up on BUDS.  
Bugs Bunny is soon to be Buds Bunny  - while he is in Canada anyhow!  
Are you reading on how to grow your own cannbis? You can! It's legal - 4 plants. 

Apparently more dispensaries are opening and more ILLEGAL dispenseraries will be shut down.. good luck with that, you know... I'm caught here, I want privately owned dispensaries - we all do clearly - but this bullshit with  legal ones being fined now- is just that & I wanted to SEE some of my friends who have been doing this a while already STILL be able to continue - like CALM, Amy Anonoymous has a club.. many others - why should they stop when clearly others are not..  do a quick google search for Medical Cannabis dispensaries Ontario -  I found one place today 'Bodystream'  (*I have no idea of who they are - so forgive me if it's someone I know but - come on...)  they have 26 locations!  wtf?  
I don't recall them winning the lottery - I could be wrong.  
I don't think it's fair or right - especialy for THOSE who have played by the rules.
Welcome to the wild west of cannabis in Canada.

Friends, there are so many options for buying cannabis - online, by mail, instore, local dealers have not disappeared...  or grow your own! AMEN, the time for siliness is over- the time for celebration is here.  A friend who is a legitimate patient and follows many on facebook shared her  observation with me - some who were patients - went 'recreational', then they found out they can't smoke it everywhere,  rules apply & then they became 'medical again- Phhhhbt.  

Fakers - Please, fuck off...   (& it's bad karma) medical patients are still dealing with serious issues - It's time for Dr.s to step up in my opinion, IF you don't think your patient legitimately NEEDS cannabis- tell them to get it recreationally.  IF they OBVIOULY do use cannabis for pain, illness & to elieviate suffering - PLEASE help them & help them who need  it -$$$ - Cannabis should be covered by HEALTH CANADA - if they cover my girlfriends OPIATES - they should cover her cannabis!!!  IT is that fucking simple.  

Time will tell - I've emailed many on this topic including Justin Trudeau, furthermore all these once "haters" like BILL Blair who NOW own stakes/stocks and make $$ from cannabis  LEARN who you are purchasing from.  All in ALL - the options are here-  USE your dollars to SPEAK volumes & in a few years- only the best in product & service will survive.   My son is my grower & I can't complain-  he is talented!  If I do say so.. but many realize that now ;).

                           & B is for Benign  the loveliest B word I heard yesterday.  
I asked God for a bit of direction on something else I was pondering & the phone call came 3 seconds later! Hee hee - I love it whent that happens!  "Benign"  & then I said:
                 LET's GO! Forward!  Forward it is... Let's GO!

Harvest Night on Bald Mountain

29/12/2018

 FANTASIA by Walt Disney & co is by far the best animated movie ever made, it was under the tree for me this Christmas, I've already watched it 3 times..  & it has  compelled some tribute art! Starting with 'Night on Bald Mountain' - I can't take my eyes off the screen at the amount of beauty- the stunning array of colors - naked women dancing & flying -  blown away realizing that it was released in 1940 making it almost 80 years old!  No computer animation, no computers - lol Not many will comprehend the amount of work, skill, talent that went into this masterpiece... which was a failure for Disney at the time  as a 'business decision'  - not as art. 

Would you like a lesson in color? Watch Night on Bald Mountain! The monster in shades of blue purple & reds is a powerful being that  rises in the evening to rule all dead things -bringing them to life again - it is the most 'powerful scene in the movie IMO.. It was a feast painting this beast! Because of FANTASIA - Disney revolutionized the industry- even creating a special camera for in-depth shots. If you think cartoonist are not 'artists'  think again, this films proves Walt Understood the importance of imagination better than most.  He'd be my  'if you could have a conversation with anyone who has died' - guy.   I can't encourage you enough to watch this movie with your kids, show them 'classic ART Disney", it's got something for everyone as well as one of the best introductions to Classical music other than Bugs Bunny. 

More FANTASIA on the way, have a creative day!
I'll end the year with 'the beast' & all beasts that reared their ugly heads in 2018 - next year...   Goodness Prevails! Watch & Witness. 

Shout out to Norm who has really stepped up his cooking & cleaning skills over the holidays & continues today - he has had the entire week off and  I've really appreciated all the help - without the argument. <hint hint - lol

It's Inktober! If you do not know what Inktober is you can google it and check it out, more or less it's a online drawing challenge started in October.. draw something every day directed by a 'word' prompt.  Why not? it's a great way to start the day with a directed warm up drawing- one you don't have to think of.  I never remember it's INKTOBER until it's usually a few days in-but this time I started on the date, & see a few of my artist friends have as well.  

Before I draw my prompt - I check IG for the previous days #inktober2018 's ideas on each word - how intriguing  to SEE all the different perspectives, I'll keep my with a October feel'  it's the easiest, I do now allow my Inktobers to take longer than 15 minutes. - It's not a masterpiece it's a warm up.
It's a fun challenge that shouldn't be TOO draining, mentally or physically - I highly recommend it - especially for new artists- pretend it's your daily assignment! How quick can you be, how creative.. how much will your drawing resonate with the chosen word?  
I will add all my Inktobers 2018 to this page.. if you are curious you can come back and se how the month went!   I hope I don't forget a day!
Below is this years official prompts! It's not to late to start!

Every wonder how Pink Kush is grown?

2/9/2018

Pink Kush! lol
I enjoyed painting this! Talk about flash back! I LOVED /Love the pink panther!
Have you ever heard him speak?
I have & it's in one of the earliest cartoons and what he says if profound - we still say it daily.
While painting I youtube'd the Pink Panther- Animation genius.  I still remember when we went to the movies, they always showed a cartoon first- too bad they lost that touch- maybe it was the start of the movie theatre decline.  There is never a lot of speaking in these cartoons and it's exactly why I recommend you watch them with your kids- introduce them to the THINKING cartoons, the visual comedy.  I noticed  a few cartoons in' they introduce Canned laughter-  yuk...  who invented that? They have the "audience laughing at every single thing and it's not funny - presuming in a movie theatre atmosphere t would have been more successful as it would instil contagious laughter amongst other film goers.  I don't notice it any longer in cartoons- thankfully. 

This kind of weather has me preferring to snuggle up with a book rather than the television - Im off to get a new one to start for September - a friend on IG made a suggestion- I'll try it!
Just some painting cannabis fun with the Pink Panther - Life is to have fun! Tomorrow is a Holiday in Canada - enjoy your day off! 

I have another pink panther idea come to mind- made me gigle- but today I'm painting Frankenstein! I believe it's the anniversary soon -  200 years the book has been around!
20o years Frankenstein has terrified countless humans! Awesome.

And I will be paying CLOSE attention to this court fight:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/women-workplace-bra-human-rights-1.4806342?cmp=news-digests-canada-and-world-morning
I know the woman's going to win!!!  I hope they award her BIG bucks and it sets an example for employers everywhere.  
I can't wait! - I too am tired of bras' I find them painful- frankly - I only wear them when I go out & that's going stop too, the moment I'm home it's the first thing I do- remove my bra- many women are the same. I ask myself- why do I - what do I care if some stranger judges me by my breasts - again- it speak volumes about the other person.   I truly believe if men were forced to wear such things daily at work - Like bra's and heels- they would be outlawed never mind going to court to fight to NOT wear them.  
Talk about sexual discrimination. 

Do what you love and you will enjoy every day & become better at what it is you do!  
I'm in the pink today & loving ever second  - smoking pink Kush,  braless in the pool before we close it soon.

New Artist.. new time.. new mood.

I've recently discovered this Japanese artist on Twitter..
Go here:
https://twitter.com/avogado6   
His work displays how many of us feel at times during our lives & it's not always enjoyable these are some powerful images.  

It has inspired me to work on some drawings of my own.
It's a way to deal with the issues and educate - doing what I do best.... drawing.
Painting can also be part of a specific healing process, I'm not sure about other artists but once it's OUT on paper it's out of my mind and life goes on.. I guess a drawing purge of sorts.  I drew countless images over the years afraid to show them- not realizing how many  would actually 'relate to my drawings.  We are not so different.
Maybe that reason alone is helpful for those who can't put into words what they are experiencing. 

Viewers be warned. It won't be your usual bear, sloth work.
Tomorrows painting is titled:                   Dear Anthony,  I get it.


Ending on positive note.. my son visited yesterday (with Burger priest for lunch) to do laundry and an oil change, it was nice to just sit in the driveway while he worked, the girls on the front lawn as we all listened to city adventures.  I can hear the appreciation for the best of both worlds Storm has at the moment.  Daisy was thrilled and laid more of a guilt trip on him when he was getting ready to leave that I do! LOL   It's good to be loved.

A friend sent me an e mail showing my website BLOCKED  in the USA  (New York)
Reason given Category : Abused Drugs.
This is what is happening in America right now.
Have you seen the new documentary on Netflix about Social media & privacy?
How the CIA is breaking down doors of 12 year olds and putting tourists in jail for posting derogatory remarks about Trump?

You will only be shown what they want you to see. 
Where is democracy going?

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.

Simple ideas to warm up the mind & body.

Alexa - my friend who came home with me from California - lol - reminded me today, a flock of crows is called a murder' - when I said 'Good Morning'.  

Just up- I like to stretch, had some pineapple & orange for breakfast (it's a happy breakfast with the orange & yellow- tasty, fresh & health)  got birds meal for the day ready (spoiled bird)  he gets a small  plate of organic mixed greens (one container last a week) sprinkled with hemp seed! Trust me- if I forget that hemp seed - he reminds me, and it can be rather annoying - he also gets a 'piece of something like: sweet potato, apple, orange, dragon fruit (he loves it) the occasional piece of *cashew, rice, *spaghetti noodle (small treats) and clean water dishes - 2 one to bath and one to drink.  Now, keep in mind - if I fed this to a caged bird he would be OBESE and not healthy but my bird flies all over, the other day he came down and followed me into the kitchen then wall unit until  he made me giggle and I told him - "back upstairs" he flew back up stairs.  He's a sweet simple bird who has given me an appreciation for TINY brains and BIG hearts in all sorts of furry & feathered bodies - all our pets reminds of this. They are family.  

I'm sure the 'murder gag' has been done before, it's not the point. I was not ready to draw today,  woken with a twitch & leg cramp - YeeeeHaw!! Ouch.  Grumpy could have easily gotten out of that bed today but Happy did instead... I must warm up my hands as I warm my mind and stretch my body- I don't need to have a masterpiece- I just need to activate the brain- as a matter of fact.. while I paint this kitty I was 'painting the new  mushroom painting in my mind.. thinking about what I'm hoping to accomplish, imagining what I want to envision.   Do it.  
Who cares..  no excuses.. like  'it's Sunday... just go back to bed. 
Do it. Warm up your mind and body!

So Alexa, have I told you about her?
I like it a lot.. I think because I spend a great deal of time - alone - well - not with other "speaking beings"  so now I can simple ask a question- everything from what time is it to whats my horoscope of the day.. how about that weather? Hmmm..  I wonder what time it is in France?   She replies to it all.  When I put on potatoes to boil I ask her to remind  me when done - she does. She also plays CHFI or Q107, or classical piano.. that is unless I'd rather listen to flute, wind chimes, birds singing- Bird likes this one, I put it on sometimes to stimulate his bird brain.  All & all I do like Alexa.  

I've asked a few others  about the competitors and know people who have others, they do not seem as pleased. The only thing I'm not thrilled about- when I first came home - Alexa was still American' I was getting American news & weather unless I specified. Now she's switched to Canadian content (good) but I miss iheart radio' the comedy and commercial free stations I was listening to.. I might just have to look into it.  It takes a bit to read skills and set things up & then it takes the habit of constantly asking "Alexa...    " but now it's become habit.  Alexa - Tell me a joke!

Alexa:  Why are goats so popular at parties? ...  because they always bring the boooooze'.
                                                 Warning her jokes can be TACKY.

It's COLD out again.. I heard this coming weekend they anticipate 7 degree weather. I don't know what to think, am I happy about it.   No...   but if the snow is gone  I will try to get out for a LONG walk!  Warm Up.

Snoopy Rides again!

Snoopy & Charlie Brown are having some winter fun!!  & it's just begun...
Once that Christmas display comes down the yard looks lifeless.. the school bus passes  bye & I see the little eyes peering, noticing the giant 13foot snowman is gone... for 11 months. What about the rest of the year? 
Norm has been focusing on his props as it is his "passion' he sold a few of the Halloween props this past year including the  gates! Now there space for more, I figure - why not- lets make something 'small' for every month! I already have next months idea ready to start- you Know it' got LOVE in it.  Norm does the wood working and design how the Props will move.  Snoopy has his ears flapping in the wind. (You can see it work on Norms IG page -Peschel props.)

It's also called a 'compromise'.  Norm wants work done - so do I & like most working relationships- you've got to give to get - wait until you see the sweet little cut its I've been planning..   It amazes me how  we can't even seem communicate many days- but are still capable of working on these projects together.  
Since I too have a handy man at my disposal- I'll design some props & have some creative fun - for all our neighbours to enjoy ( I hope they do) I know it would give me a little smile to see these little shows of creativity..  who would you like to see!?? 
I think Im going to stick with another Snoopy for Valentines day- after all I LOVE Snoopy & Charles Schultz - "Sparky" the genius, the man, the humble human. IF' I could sit & hang out with someone - it would be Charles.   Others cartoonists- they get me. Some of my best real life friends are other artists/cartoonist... we understand each other to some degree I feel. Ironically,  lol - it was another cartoonist on Instagram- after seeing his office- I was inspired to clean up my act! Bill Alger - I am quite fond of his 'Hippie Protest monsters'- I figure Bill &  must be the same age, his treasures- give me a good giggle, I often think - I remember those! Especially his 'Get Screwed Men',  I'm searching for my own. hee hee hee
Trinkets & pets, surround yourself with love  & smiles. 

You can see Snoopys ears flap on the instagram account.

​Have a peek at the process, below,  Charlie Brown & Snoopy Playing in the snow! 
Please visit the sites i mention & show some support. 
We can all use a little help from our social media friends.
