Creativity inspires - more creativity.  I prefer this mask to the first, less mushroms yet - visually more appealing. To me.

Another painting is waiting to be started.  The canvas told me what to paint when I glanced at it.
​Talk about a no brainer. 

Read. Research - anything and it will inspire more ideas. Education is the key to everything.  The more I know the more I want to know.

Next.. a portrait.

Everything is a lesson.
What did you learn in 2019?  Much.
What will you learn in 2020?  More.

Expect Miracles!  Always.

What's the plan this New Years Eve?
Bingo on the radio with Canoe @ 6.
I'll ponder on my puzzel,  dinner,  maybe a movie  (something funny or positive)
 before  bed = probably before midnight.
WoooHoo! 
​Sounds seriously awesome to us.
We are excited.

Happy new Year.  Let that shit go!
2020 is going to be... enlightening.

Weeeee!  Thank you Canada! Our first year of Legalization and we did not end up looking like a bunch of  Loons!   Heeheehee  I knew we wouldn't.

We proved if anything, to the rest of the world - not only is legalization working but it was 'Highly successful' it's first year - and Not one overdose - let's all breath a sigh of relief & put reefer madness to rest.  It was Norm that reminded me - "it's a year!" - because I have been legal for years, I kinda forgot. Thank God.  Thank God we are NOT stressing anymore over such bullshit, now we can all focus on Politics' a little better - ready to vote? I am.

I'm going to show up braless with a 'I love Justin T!'  hahahhahaa (just the thought has me giggling) I vote at a local restaurant & I've no doubts, I'll be surrounded by several Consertatives. hee hee  I don't trust 'conservatives and cannabis'...  I wonder why.
I don't trust consertatives & pipelines. 

Still hearing stories (more now come out of the Cannabis closet now that it's Safe'r)  of when they were younger and  was busted for growing a plant.  What took so long for this madness to end?  Some are still being busted... & as always there's usually a little more to it.  I hope all who have been charged in the past look into having prior charges cleared, take the time while it's available - who knows what the future holds.

Yes, it is a reason to celebrate! Canada has profited & shall continue to thrive - now with edibles  once it's all sorted out. I do make my own edibles.. but when edibles are easier to purchase - say at a bakery (in a special *adult glass counter) I'll buy more edibles.  I do not like to purchase stuff that I can't touch, see or smell.  People have expressed & continue to do so by visiting dispensaries and NOT via the gov and mail to show - they want to SEE, smell the bud & the experience.   I think the government will soon agree & the only way for them to make the money they anticipate is to let a wider distribution & tax it all.  Just as convenience stores sell beer & cigarettes - let delicious bakerys or gourmet food shops sell delictable snacks.  

...When Pigs fly!  
I've heard that before.

I am currently mid canvas' so, I did not spend as much time as I might have otherwise on this anniversary - next year! Next my witchy crystal ball will tell you who will win the election!

Proud to be me.

That moment Tinkerbell realized 'Edibles' are not as harmless as she thought...

I love edibles! My prefered is carrot cake that I make myself with medicated coconut oil that I also make myself- it's easier than you think.

Have you watched Rotten: Edibles on netflix?  I enjoy the Rotten series - very enlightening.
I know about edibles but I did learn a few points to ponder. - Edibles have a side effect that most don't consider - I bet more women than men do.
Weight gain.  I have gained 6 lbs since moving up here - 6 that I keep on!
Thank you Country Bakery - lol.

Weight gain is a problem for most & edibles are a very easy way to get - carried away.
I know. First - they taste so good - you want to eat more and all of it.  Don't - read the instructions, you won't die but you might get very HIGH - uncomfortably high, almost everone I know has a story to tell about edibles and having too much of a good thing- but there is also the problem of 'the munchies' - on edibles.  

Weight gain is on the increase as are weight related disease - please use caution.
I encourage all I know to have healthy snacks ready - just incase you get the muchies.  
Better to much on grapes than gummies! & IMO EVERY thing tastes better on cannabis - even carrots!  Medicated cookies- gummies, drinks - you name it - you'll see it soon.
Edibles are are the way IN.  

Interesting to note some think bud will fade - HA. Bud will never fade, many love bud as it is - no sugar needed.  Most of the time I medicate without all the "goodies"  but it's nice occassionally for a sweet treat'. 

I had so much fun painting tinkerbell - I painted 2! 
Tinkerbell giggling in the forest as happy as can be!  Double art day!
Give thanks ;) 

Happy Thanks Giving Weekend! 
Enjoy all the goodies - Medicated or not - Give Thanks! 
Cannabis is legal in Canada!

 Scruffy pot dog is done.  It was not easy painting ablack & white one eyed dog- still a pleasure all the same & a wonderful feeling to be finished. lol   It's harvest time & the leaves are falling!    Scruffy loves her painting! She laughed when I showed her, happy I have her keeping an eye on the viewer.  Scruffy is Scruffy.. her nickname is pig' cause she is forever snorting, grunting & snoring. We love her & her pig nosies.

Scruffy is the one who has caused me a little stress here but after a smack on the behind (sometimes you must)  and a warning to quit wandering off- she seems to understand clearly now- stick with mom.  Have you tried calling a one eyed, deaf dog in the forest - I have... It's not enjoyable. 

When I hung the painting Ginger went over and looked at it as if to say "WTF!?"  so, she is next - and my last pot dog - until next spring when I plan on getting another.  We have the home, the land & the love.  OMGosh it is a beautiful SUNNY 16 today and we're off on an adventure to see the leaves - all we have to do is step outside. 

Tomorrow - my newest skull inspired by a sentance I read. 
Then Toker Tinker bell - hee hee hee she's so sweet.  
 Come back to see & then... some Zombie cards for Forever Grateful - if I can stop staring at the leaves long enough to work' on the computer.  
Thank you for stopping by.
I appreciate it as does Scruffy.  
​
Nice to know we are thought of from time to time. I think of many.

Netflix has 2 new documentaries: Weed the People & (I preferred) the Grass is Green 
I guess because I learned more from the second  that I did not previously know & one does discuss children but I know what cannabis does for children. Thank God.  If you don't, then watch both.

Why are people still being punished for cananbis use?
Studies - we need more studies - fuck studies - talk to others, open a history book - talk to rock stars & past presidents, there are many famous tokers of cananbis.
& then there is still ignoranc in the workplace & I thank  this guy for educating in Halifax: https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/halifax-man-denied-job-because-of-cannabis-use-wants-others-to-be-aware-1.4428094    so, there you go Eh! WTF Canada- lets get the facts right- I think a company should be more concerned about drinking on the job - much more common - do they test for that? How about Opiates?
 I personally would not want to work for a narrow minded company anyhow.
On one chanel you can watch a documentary with babies medicating - on another you have a company not hiring - because a grown man had cannabis  LEGALLY in his system.
It all takes time I guess, I'm hopeful- we are this far-  after all! 

Weeee! 2 weeds for a long weekend - I've been gardening all day & am ready to pass out now..  so much gardening thanks to some guy names monty on netfilx.. lol - & the police open! wooot woot - or should I say Scruffy said Woof Woof!
 Time to imagine some relaxing fun.  ​Time to Go for a joy Ride!

Tomorrow is all about the Bees tho- being world BEE day.
& a I'm terribly disappointed in Georgia's decision - a statement painting that applies to both! Have a  lovely long weekend- I hope not to many fireworks are let off - if so please put ear protection in your babies ears!! Fireworks can cause everlasting damage to ones hearing.

Another pondering primate... what is my new chimp obsession?  It's been triggered by several things I guess, most recently the thought of the loss of more beautiful beasts.  Destruction due to consumption, too much to ponder some days. This chimp brought a new level of painter... I know this when I spent an afternoon patiently painting the hair 'just on his chinny, chin, chin! 

Why do we still have plastic bags? Lazy. These magnicifant mammals each one a miracle & our lazy butts & gluttony for palmoil are kiling them & I'm sure someone somewhere is  using Chimp for medicinal reasons or even decorative.  I'd rather not research that, now.
I find myself pondering the stoned ape theory again -how 'evolved' we have all become or have we? According to the studies we have started our own mass destruction - so why wait one more day to stop using plastic bags?  Why?  

As I finished this painting Denver has decriminalized Psilocybin mushrooms! The first of many US States with Canada following soon. Everything this blog said about cannabis - apply it to 'magic mushrooms' - = Psilocybin . It's that simple. EVERYTHING. I am forever grateful for this slow but steady personal education & depression releasing medicine. If not completely releasing  at least discovering = Forgiving.  Cannabis is my choice of daily medicine but every now & then my body & mind tell me when it's time to medicate with psilocybin. My lite treatment caused some negative effects - I can't even begin... I'm takng a break & wearing scrubs for comfort BUTT it said getting worse before better - might be a side effect. So  feeling a bit blue with not much to do I decided to finish my primate that I started a few weeks ago. 

Psilocybin help me 'feel a little more loved' for much of what I don't normally find very 'lovable at times. Including myself.  

I'm in full painting mode again ;) - to keep me out of depression mode  ;( .  
I already have the NEXT painting sketched in my mind - another pondering primate   in a slightly 'new style' an experiment, I think. Weeeeeeee...   

 ;D  I'lll leave this here so you might ponder a little.

NFS... unless the offer is worthwhile & will purchase much more paint! ;)
Acrylic on wood panel. Gold, Copper paint that makes this painting look different every time you look at it as well as around the edges - make sit POP  ;).
I'm forever grateful for the experience.

Can you guess who I am..  I'll tell you at the end.
Schools out for summer & might not be returning.. I can't express the sadness I felt watching my high school  York Memorial go up in flames  yesterday.  A flood of memories overwhelmed me, walking the halls, the lockers, the auditorium in all it's Glory, the stained glass windows the trophy cabinets, magnificent details at every turn. I hope they rebuild and not remove.  This is where my love for art took OFF -I had great art teachers  both women, Mr.s Obrien was my favourite she introduced me to painting, clay, egg tempura, everything art was started here. Friends, relationships, the first time I smoked Pot.. lol isn't it for most? My first parties, football socials & like many I lost my virginity to someone met in high school my last year. You don't even realize all the memories until you see it fade before your eyes. I'm forever grateful for the experience.

& I was blue due to the news that we are destroying our planet at a greater rate than anticipated (and grater than I feel they are letting on to us mere humans due to panic)- killing creatures... Trophy hunting should immediately banned.  Birds especially are on quick decline & then to learn about DOUG Ford..  I take it back thinking  he would be good for Ontario.  As soon as these creatures are gone - we will be shortly after.  It's terrible for children now - knowing we have started our own MASS extinction yet we CONTINUE to let politicians like DOUG Ford decide Canadians futures - he obviously doesn't care about the environment & that should be our first priority when we boot those deciding our fate  out of office.

When I went to bed last night at 7 I was blue & beat but today I was excited to get up and work on my chimp which reminds me... Norm is redoing the basement floors (hee hee) over the decades he has  laid new floors for different rooms (depending on what was on sale) NOW of course he is in agreement 'it would look better with same flooring throughout', "I told you..."  was said,  I've moved my studio to the bedroom & have been painting at all hours - I'm pleased with my newest creation - I spent yesterday painting the hairs on a chimps chiny chin chin! lol  

It's a painting I become absolutely absorbed in & between us I'm calling it a self portrait. haha I love every second & in between I'm painting Weeeeeed cards- they make me giggle.
 I friend sent me a few ideas today which also cracked me up! Weeeeeee!

Sad but not forgotten.. Nothing lasts forever lets hope we get our acts together  regarding transformation of the planet before it's too late. No more plastic bags - why are we still going plastic bags? Why are we sill doing plastic? HEMP is better.

I'm the middle row, second from the left - the guy behind me in a white top was tickling me...  look at the confused expressions - clearly the photographer did not count to 3. 

In preperation for  May the 4th.,  I  had a bit of fun with two ideas... this is the first.  May the Spores be with you! Spores sending out messages of  Love, Peace, Faith in oneself.  
The other I might show in a couple days I don't want to rush it. 

Did you ever meet a Dog you knew you had to meet? I felt that way today.. kinda strange.
​Did you know if you have fluffy cat it can get arthritis & become matted, we had this happen this winter.. luckily we have a wonderful groomer  at  our local 'Global Pet Supplies' &
I now have a shaved...   Fluffy.   Quite amusing visually.

I drove almost an hour for a one minute suntan to try light treatment for psoriasis, I'd rather try this before oral medications, as it's slightly out of control - I am trying some thing.   I must say... It felt nice & I felt good all afternoon with that mega burst of LIGHT * I look forward to natural sunshine any day now... until then please continue to shine.   ;D

Did you know the Original Wookie Actor passed away?
