WE (Poppy & I) LOVE to fly!
I was so frightened.. thinking my head would explode  (honestly)- lol
BUT hey I'm here to paint another day!  By the grace of God!
I am inspired by all I do & see & will never have 'Artist Block'
It's all in your mind. Just ask Brain...  not Heart.

 :)

Buckle up Baby! Yeeeeeeee Haaawwwww!
No matter where they seat us - Poppy & I are:
 First Class!   
Medicated- First Class!

Poppy and I are planning on being away for Christmas!  
No idea where yet...  Positive thinking is the first step in any adventure!

You should see this beast in real life.. 15 inches of green goodness!!
Where does he begin? Bong or blunt? Roll me another you handy fellow!
8 legs, count em - all busy .

He will hang in my office for a while...   until the next octopus emerges and I've already one on my mind.

He was very enjoyable, lost in legs was I.
I think he might make a fun postcard what do you think?

California Bear Is in Canada & right here!
 
I loved California - the SUN, sand, ocean, crabs! Whats not to love?
& I love bears - Combine the both and add some Cannabis of course & Bud Bear was born.  
Before I even left for California I learned of the California Song & the California Bear & was INSPIRED!   Oh my Gouache - she's so cute - how could I resist?
I couldn't.  

I was able to keep her a secret until NOW! I wanted to get some photos in California,
hee hee - We wanted to play & play we did, look at her -she is so sweet clutching her California bud -  I have to share this little bear  -  California Bears stickers are here! 

She loves California & her bud! Clutching it closely - hugging a lover. I imagined.
She uses it medically - of course for PTSD against hunters &  California wild fires!

You can get one of my California Bud Bear stickers NOW!
*Professionally digital  printed  & die cut. 
It will look so sweet stuck to your laptop, iPad, desktop, phone cover, skateboard, locker, bong case, bud box,  Cannabis strain  journal, sketchbook, fridge, dispensary bulletin board, car, books, medicine jar - the possibilities are endless!

Get your own cute little California bud bear 'now' right HERE! Price includes shipping
Keep in Mind I only had a few made, I've never had a sticker before & am not sure how they will sell. It might be the first of several or ONE of a kind!
Either way- it's a win win to own one.  

The proceeds from this sticker will go towards BEARs  NEXT adventure...
France? Norway? Spain?   Passport is ready -Only bear knows where her next adventure will be- you will learn when she's on the plane!  A journey to inspire a new sticker- no doubts.

Be sure to collect them all. ;)  

I took a few photos with my 'prototype' in California- what an adventure we were on, have a peek!  I LOVE California, Bud & Bear...  You can tell by looking at my little happy bear, painted with TLC & THC in every stroke!

Plant the seed of cananbis education today- start with this cute little bear! 
A terrific little conversation starter!

I found myself thinking of Canada Day & art for this celebration of 15o years.
I picked up 3 new $10 bills at the bank- to take to a couple of little friends I'll be meeting in OC. ;)

The art, I will have - this is just a warm up for my  Celebratory thinking!  
If you visit Canada and drive this  beautiful  country you will come across an Inukshuk or two. 'Rock people' I always thought growing up..  what kid has not tried to make their own?
https://www.historicacanada.ca/content/heritage-minutes/inukshuk 
I noticed you can purchase little Inukshuk kits.. It's a nice idea if they help the immediate community especially.  They are a sign "We were here" ..   Powerful if you are in the middle of nowhere,  snoozing' with Poler bear - you realize you are not alone. 
If you find one PLEASE leave it- it is a sign of respect & thanks to those who created it & to be left for the next person to see & be reminded.

Of course my Inukshuk  is Cannabis friendly, my imagination hoping.  
Bring on legalization! ​We were here - now LET's move ON & focus on Indigenous women.  
Those who NEED US the most  &  men - therefore it only makes sense the children are suffering.  HUMANS.  My Canada Day celebration would be  also dreaming, imagining a prouder Canada - who looks after everyone.  This 'hatred thing is not working. '  
​How cool Obama & Trudeau hung out this past week in Montreal- could you feel the love? Yep.
 
One moment - I'm California dreaming & creating- the next- Canada Day celebrations!
Torn between two countries & loving every second of both. What am I looking forward to most? Meeting & hanging out with someone I've known a long time, the  ocean air & beach - shell inspection and Not thinking..  

I'm not going to 'promise' any ART- blogs- anything from now  until after we return.  
It's not like I'm packing my scanner.  I'm taking very little - except paint!  ;)
The Less stress the best. I don't own a cell phone & not sure I can even set up  my iPad for mail.  It's outdated.   A real vacation!!!  

All business can wait until  we return.
Have  creative days & plan some adventures...   Mostly, believe.  
in others .. In yourself.

It's time we  focused on people, not plants.  
Especially plants that don't KILL.
I don't see them out there stopping the sales of  Lilly of the valley.  
Yet.
