Want to see how this kitty was painted? It's on my IG account: georgia.toons

​It's the backyard bird count this weekend & it's easy & GOOD for you - go watch the birds in your backyard for at least 15 minutes.. it's proven relaxing.   It's the perfect weekend to get the kids involved- and it's FAMILY weekend - Holiday Monday! Go look at the birds and submit what you see to assist scientists in keeping track of what's going on and where.

You'll also learn how to feed, what to do to help the living situatuions of birds and other little creatures.  Birds are disappearing (as area all creatures)  but the birds & Bees are what keeps us going!  We are such egotistical creatures to think we don't need any help. 
The bluejays already visited for breakfast -thankfully, as I've been seeing fewer lately, due to the squak and cheekyness bluejays are not aften as admired  as other birds and they are  shot' at occassionally WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN CANADA and you can be charged with an offence.... not to mention 'just fucking nasty.  I feel the same way about HUNTING anything for sport'.   I thought it would be fun to do a timelapse for the birds today to bring some awareness to counting the birds!
This cat - so close he can 'taste them... cheeky birds having a conversation outside his  view.
Please keep your cats indoors or put a bell on their collar- especially with Spring here in a month - babies will be being born & they need help too.  
​
Time to go out & fill all the feeders, peanuts & count some more - it's natures meditation- Birds are also amusing.. just watch &  you'll see.

Can you guess what I'm making next? Photo below! 

The Peyote cactus knows.. and if you ingest it- you might know too.
I have no desire to try peyote - first because it sits on my desk & I watch how long it takes to grow- it's so sweet my pet peyote,  I don't think a 'high' is worth seeing my little guy go (that & you have to eat many I believe for them to effect you properly).  Storm successfully grew several from seed and it's been really fun to watch these tiny little cactus grow many taking years before they become substantial - and then they get eaten?   Peyote also don't seem to taste that great- I'd have issues keeping them down  just from watching people eat them - it makes me nauseous but I love to paint them! I painted a little peyote on time-lapse -it's on my IG account.

Food for thought. They are illegal in the USA - with the exception of ceremonial purposes but they have been abused and are becoming increasingly difficult to find sadly,  this is not good for the PLANT. Peyote cactus are considered teachers.   Nature has all the best teachers.  It teaches me already -  'patience' just by painting it. You can't see it here but it glistens with metallic paint & it's peeking through the keyhole of the universe... in my mind.

TTC drives are not permitted to consume cannabis- or that's the direction they are going to try to go- GOOD luck with that. What anyone does in their off hours is no ones fucking business. WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL? Do they- have they ever  told drivers  they are NOT to consume alcohol after hours? It's a cartoon in the making. I see a lawsuit in the making... not to mention the very slippery slope.  Reefer madness is still rampant in Canada thanks to this sort of bullshit.

Do you know what kills more humans than illegal drugs - VANITY.  
 Think about tit. ( hee hee note type 'o) before you get the boob job!!
I watched a few episodes on Netflix of Botched Up Bodies - I highly recommend it (IF you can stomach it)  It's hard not to feel sorry for these people, all they wanted to do was better themselves... God has you perfect the way you are!
Botched Vagina's - cause  everyone needs a pretty vagina! WTF? Countless boob jobs gone wrong, lip jobs, teeth implants, lipofat removed & it's an education of how much $$$ this industry is making, this show covers IT ALL & Education is key- everyone one of these people admits they did not research, fillers that need to come out years later because they move & are making people very sick  & on top of it they are embarrassed because they paid to have themselves 'destroyed'.  Vanity KILLS EVERY day.  It is a rude awakening many need to have... not me - no cosmetic surgery for me, I'll embrace every wrinkle, saggy boob (I got two) - I love me too much to do this to my body. Twitch & all!  It really  makes you understand how fortunate we are too - I feel  healthy & grateful after watching that show. 

 One Strange Rock on Netflix is fantastic.

This weeks painting lessonon my Instagram account is on how to paint a sloth.
I'll start by giving you a hand on how to draw a sloth- it's SUPER easy - trace your open hand.   TaDa.... Sloth outline already hanging upside down - now just paint it brown! 
Brown with bits of green - add some leaves for fun - and your done. I guarnetee you each time you paint this sloth it will become easier & better with each try - it would make a sweet little valentine painting for someone :   I'll hang around with you, anytime!

Im in a loving mood',  love for the planet & all living creatures on it.  Do you know what message is being repeated in: How to Change your mind - the book I'm reading...
'Love Conquers all.'    It's got me on a mission to spread some love... I think I'll paint some cards!

Try to paint the sloth...  It's easier than it looks.  Paint it anycolor you wish, I think a purple sloth would be even cuter - treat yourself to some peaceful, relaxing art by paitning a sweet little sloth & then imgaine those great big gangaly arms wrapping around you for a hug!
It's what I'll imagine on this -23  blustery day, lots of Snow is expected to start - hot coco is on the stove & the paint is wet!

I have delt with serious depression my entire life, I understand why, NOW. While painting this time lapse and watching a documentary -Bio on Timothy Leary I thought of an article I read yesterday and it hit me... since at least the late 60's Scientists in Canada & the USA knew about Psilocybin & how it appeared to be 'helping; with such issues as addition & depression - it's WELL documented & tried by some of the greatest minds on the planet (some of the earliest research done right in Sask. Canada)  & here have we been poisoned by the pharmaceutical industry our entire lives, not even given the opportunity to choose what might be best for our own bodies..    
How fucked up is that? Any of you, think for a second about this. 

The article is about assisted death in Canada and how we might consider making changes to include minors & suicidal/mentally ill - & it hit me like a fucking ton of PROZAC (Prozac - successfully sued for, causing suicidal thoughts & more serious side effects) WHY are we FORCED to consider legal assisted death in this country before being allowed to explore other  NON lethal OPTIONS!?  Look at what's happening with opiates. WHY ARE medicinal mushrooms- AGAIN, never responsible for one documented *death ** NOT offered as a option? I now understand why I have medical issues' - how else would I have understood what  these plants can do..  I  am grateful to them & God for the introduction & everyone who is educating in the past & currently. EXPAND your mind & look up something new or sit & sitcom... the choice is ours.

I have been there, with this TN  I have days you have no idea... but I'm not there NOW - I'm painting, playing with my dogs, catching Doves sent by God!! I had just sent my son  a message telling him I was going back to bed.. awake at 3:33 (Alexa) I had a headache & am tired from a flare in psoriasis, this past year it has gotten out of control (more soon so you can be aware & stay on top of it if you see the signs) & I walked into the kitchen with my empty cup and this beautiful bird was staring at me from 'inside' my enclosed deck! I was worried she was hurt- so I went to get her and she was so calm (just like that bluejay) I think I shall call myself a 'Bird whisperer! Hee hee         ;)    Photo below - it was a moment, a gift from God. I didn't go to back bed I painted this mushroom instead & had a realization.

We ALL deserve a chance at TRUE happiness - some of us struggle- we don't even know why  R E S E A R C H for yourself (especially if you have a child or someone you believe to be suicidal & not having success with conventional medication) - I guarantee you  you will learn Psilocybin MUSHROOMS help for depression & serious illness.  
WTF!?  WHY is this NOT a legal option available - our young are taking their own lives... if we are prescribed medications that  have serious side effects & known to harm/kill - why not this safer option? WHY not first? I'll give you one guess.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you can grow your own$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you believe in God as you say you do than believe God has provided US with food & medicine.  Don't believe me - ​research & prove me wrong. 

WHY are we NOT permitted to legally  have this option - anyone suffering from pain - trigeminal neuralgia? Chronic arthritis? Severe skin conditions- God has assured me to grin and bear it & has provided pain relief with natural medicine & then sent a little bird to cheer me up. ;) Bird was not impressed - I took it outside after making sure it's wings & legs were fine it sat on my shoulder ! Haha - I must say I felt 'special' out in my backyard in my bathrobe with it on my shoulder... I took it back in checked it's feet & then tried again -lol  and it flew up into a tree & sat staring at me.  Fucking awesome! Made my day!
 I'm happy to be  alive even IF I'm really angry at our medical system right now. Again.  
To see a time-lapse of this mushroom you have to follow on IG (which is set on privacy again - It's how I deal with stress' I guess... - if you don't like it - don't follow) 

Next a lesson in Fuckery ' - really.

Todays word was Abominable.  
My example:
In 2018 people around the world witnessed abominable behaviour displayed by a 'world leader' (who shall remain nameless) yet, as terrible as it has been to watch unfold his  actions have awakened a nation to the ugliness that surround him & it does appear it is forcing  many to wake up,  stand up,  SPEAK up - even if the rest of the world doesn't believe you. 

New little black book!  I'm more excited about this little black book than the one I carried in HIGH school, this one will be filled with all sorts of subjects & I'll time-lapse for any who want mini gouache lessons (shared on Instagram - Georgia.Toons) & hopefully someone will want to purchase it when complete & I'll donate the money to the local food bank or humane society, that's along way off still - a whole year but that's the plan... I've got plans for 2019.   How about you?

I've been reading about Alcohol problems, one article states we might be the new Russia- how sad is that Canada? We all know the  association with Alcohol & Russians - the 'facts' we don't realize, the struggles they have and the death & destruction because of BOOZE - yes, direct correlation to alcohol. If you want to watch something interesting & entertaining watch Prohibition on Netflix, a 3 part series- -wow,  they where wild in the 20's. Prohibition FAILS with Alcohol & with Cannabis- with all drugs.  It's always been women & children who suffer the most because of alcohol abuse...
How many Children are effected NOW/still by the same situation and have no control & no where to go? How many  will grow up to be alcoholics because they see it as the 'norm'?  How many will turn to stronger substances because alcohol isn't enough for them anymore.. lot's - History proves it. 
​Cheers. 

I will celebrate this 2019 by not getting drunk, perhaps a glass of champagne.. perhaps not. I don't need, I don't wish to encourage it.. I know the pain it causes.  
I won't have a hangover  ;) that I know for sure.
I will consume cannabis - smoke it &  inhale,  edibles will be consumed & I won't experience a hangover. 

2019 is going to the the year for growth.. as a country & personally.  
I keep getting the message from the Lord himself in one way or another -  ;)
I brought you to "it" I'm going to bring you through it'.. and I must say - my confidence is at an all time high.  

Looking forward to 2019 when the Sun,  the  Moon & the Truth will all SHINE.
People are already realizing the negative lies & hype behind cannabis after only a few months of legalization, thank God.

What a BEAUTIFUL day!  It started with me surveying the backyard & making Norms TO Do list.. we know you forget so- it's how we help'. lol & what a list it is- 2 days full -last night we had a wind storm- Im sure damage was done in the city - we had no internet until about 11. our neighbours fence was blown over Norm tells me after checking the mail- I infornmed him we have serious fence damage out back - a few rotten posts (25 years later) & that wind - add it to the list. It's how it is when you have a backyard & we have a big backyard. which I LOVE!

I'm out there watching the birds- returning home some are... planning a garden, checking out how well everyone did this winter and getting my 'outdoor painting station' ready- hee hee.  It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood - dogs all barking hello, kids giggling, we had to go around and get everything that blew around the backyard & put it all into place with only a causality of a flowerpot, it's lovely to be out puttering - distracted by daily news.

I don't think I'll read the paper this weekend... I'm already infuriated with Trump and his NRA antics...   I am amazed there have not been assignation attempts on him (perhaps there have)  - so many are angry with him, I wouldn't want  that many guns around me. - would YOU? Do you?

And what's UP Canada! COME on!?  Really  - the price of GAS?  With oil being as low as it is.. are we stupid or something? & it's NOT just gas.. food, books, anything from the USA we pay MORE - way MORE.. not just on the ticketed price. I think many Canadians are getting fed up, I know almost everyone I speak to tries to buy Canadian - do you blame us! OUR HYDRO is HIGH, OUR GAS, FOOD, art supplies.. HOUSING! OUR GOVERNMENT has the largest alcohol monopoly in the world..  Justin -  what's up? For all who admire Canada - It's getting a little costly.

I read if you work a minimum wage job in Toronto everyday- you'll still not be able to afford a 2 bedroom apartment- ever. I feel bad for younger kids. 

Better get a good education and as fast as you can- to try to get ahead' IF that's what you want.  I don't think everyone achieves this by 'traditional  schooling' anymore either.  

Kids- stay away from dugs- they might not destroy your brain (they might too) but they might distract you from reaching your fullest potential when you are at your  SPONGE mode of learning! Don't waste your life and time sitting around getting HIGH - accomplishing nothing but a new level of video gaming... life passes quicker than you realize.

Time for me to get outside and create how about you?  I'm painting some Catcus !
Cause the idea is so cute  CATcus! hee hee  It does not take much to amuse me. :)

I have seen many racoons over the years, most just outside my bedroom window... I find them adorable yet annoying - they are notorious for noise in the middle of the night & get into garbage & trouble.  One night a raccoon would not get off the back porch - frustrated  I threw a muffin at it (out my bedroom window) it was the closest thing I could grab, the dogs spotted it and it was getting ugly.  Not realizing the muffin was medicated, I did remember as soon as it left my hand... Ricky Raccoon' picked it up and ate it went away and came back for more.. he was a little wobbly and he played with it in his hands like a bean bag game I still remember giggling at watching & it watching me happily... it wobbled away the dogs no longer a threat (it didn't care)  & it came back several nights in a row.
I did not continue to share.  ;)

A raccoon is a reasonable animal  to imagine in the cannabis garden so here he is.  3rd eye raccoon was imagination amusing itself & trying to figure out the new iPad stand. I keep looking at this raccoon and my own mind keeps telling me that something doesn't look right' ...  lol.  

​Watch anything informative, educational on Psychedelic plants like Cannabis, Ayahuasca, Psilocybe cubensis, and you will read the same thing repeated over & over.. these plants have all become illegal because they seem to make people think for themselves perhaps even explore other ideas that don't go with the flow.  I am always shocked with  Who uses these "drugs" it was a famous banker who wanted Psychedelic Mushrooms explored & introduced to American society - not the sleazy drug dealer images -stigma we've been led to believe.

I know with TN  when you are in this kind of pain you will explore until you can't explore anymore. Explore a natural medicine.  It's the only thing my stomach can stomach, never mind the rest of my organs. I recently learned  a representative from TWEED will be speaking to a group of Trigeminal Neuralgia patients: *from an email sent out to a group I belong to:

Presentation Summary:  Join Michelle Davis from Tweed Inc. for an education presentation on medical cannabis.  She will discuss cannabis legislation, the uses of medical cannabis, safe and responsible use and accessing medical cannabis.

Date:  Wednesday, April 25, 2018
Time:  6:30 - 7:30 pm
Location:  Creekside Senior Estates Community Centre, 23 Four Mile Creek Road, St. Davids, Ontario

It sounds very interesting- I'd love to hear what & how they will present this discussion -
I am planning on attending.  Anything/anyone that helps  with this condition is a blessing.
I know what cannanbis does it's been personally frustrating knowing so many who suffer are turning to opiates (understandably) with awareness I hope they at least TRY cannabis & Try it first before seriously addictive narcotics. 

3rd eye paintings represent  that extra introduction to knowledge.  The curious eye opening.
I'm grateful for  the vast information available -Hamilton's pharmacopeia for example - it's eased my fear some and helped info to the point I can at least start to research anything in great detail with a bit of direction and have an educated conclusion. 

Gaia also has a really informative series & it allows you to share links  you have 48 hours from the click to watch if interested. ;) https://give.gaia.com/cjdnwg0ix002o01me13m4jfpi
 this is the episode I'll be watching next painting my next animal. Gaia is a paid service, I watch it more than netflix, I am constantly AMAZED -it's though provoking.   I enjoy Gregg Braden he has very calming demeanour.  The rare artifacts and  "places of interest" fascinate me, I highly recommend.

You can watch my first time-lapse with my new iPad @ my IG account I took off privacy so others might enjoy the Valentines downloads. https://www.instagram.com/georgia.toons/

So heart breaking about the shootings in Florida.  :(   R.I.P.

I love pockets! They are so handy, you can fill them full of love like in this card!
Valentine card # 3.  I've really enjoyed making these cards with the intent to have others make them.  It's not that difficult!  Explore your creative side &  I've mad it easy for you- fear free! ! I was sent an image from a young woman who made the 'Honey jar card in DE!  It turned out terrific and she made it herself (without the printout) with my instruction,  with feeling so crummy it really came at the perfect moment. Nice to see & it gave me a little boost - I had to make the pocket card which has been in my mind for over a week. 

It was a lovely way to spend a Saturday - it took me longer with this cold' but I feel worse when I don't paint so I decided to try & then the next thing I know it was complete  and I felt accomplished and ready for my next nap! lol  This card was fun, make your own, use my template.. It's really easy to paint the front, it's more or less shades of blue pointed with a BIG brush then some lines with a finer brush and a bit of red. You would only need to buy  2 colors- because  you can make the darker shaded by mixing the two to get a purple :D  Below is the image containing the pocket contents!
Print it out, cut them out and put them in your pocket! 
Have fun! - What might you leave out or add in?  
I'd include a real joint for fun too-  thats the idea behind the card you could add a gift card, stickers, cash - anything that's slightly 'flat'. I'm keeping this card! It looks cute on my desk! 

See below to see how to make this card! Share with someone you love or try to make one for yourself!  I hope what ever your plans you have a LOVELY day!   & btw- Im continuing to make cards filled with love all month  & all share another soon - I've been busy with some fun templates- wait until you see how creative 'You' can be!

​The free download printable "pocketstuff"  image is below!
Supplies I used:  
Water color blank cards (and envelope)
paper for pocket goodies (or printed version*)
Print and glue onto cardboard first for extra strength! 
Gouache paint:  red & blue  You can use any pant  or supplies- I suggest red & blue ;)
paint brushes 1 large flat and one small detail.
scissors,  white craft glue

!! I realize the condom was an after thought!   I've been married 26 years people. 
The condom was an after thought..   so just add the REAL deal!
​Which is much better than the sentiment anyway!  xox G  

I follow a few artists on Instagram..
I'm grateful to them for sharing their gift- this artist in particular is by far one of the most talented I've seen. I also appreciate he uses gouache.

​
If you want to become a better 'anything' you must work at it constantly..
better artist, cook, bird whisperer .. human.

I thought Id have some fun and here is my result... I use black paper so I had to paint all around the kitty, the thing about imitating others, you never get it the same- good! 
It was more a lesson in "watching" than anything else.. I would not even attempt one of his 'beautiful girls' - he has a style all his own.  Don't be intimidated by other artists - ever.
Everyone can achieve their own style - it's fun to  try something different and with gifted artist like this 'showing' us what to do-  the key is... just KEEP doing it over & over.
Never mind the painting- the process is lovely.  

Do not expect to get results like a artist who draws every day- if you do not. 

Happy Halloween! It's still a black cat!  
Boo

Below is his image from his instagram page.. I highly reccomend you check him out.
His level of detail is incredible... seeing the two kitties side by side made me giggle, I can see my style 'creep into his with this Halloween Black Fungi kitty!      lol

This cartoon is just to show you simply the hypocrisy surrounding these laws' and those who make them.  In Canada  we are permitted to have limitless amounts of alcohol in our homes.  Growing up- who had a "home bar?"  Oh my gosh, the first bar I remember was so cool at the time- a little thing set up - complete with 2 stools and tons of booze for Friday night entertaining with friends. Saturday and Sunday too.   Later in life my dad had a huge bar built in the basement "Billys Bar" it was really something, sports themed with mirrors along the back wall  and every shelf (glass) was covered in bottles of booze - some 80% PROOF, gifts from friends over the years. My dad was in the car business and he would come home with cases of booze at christmas, to drink and give. It was the norm and still is for many- many homes still have a bar in the corner if not an entire 'Man Cave" - much like my dad had way back before they became a "thing". There is NO LIMIT to the amount of alcohol we can have in our home. No limit on the cases of beer we can have- heck- some build furniture out of them cases.. until they need the money for empties. 

How many homes have wine cellars? I like a nice wine, although I've really have not drank since I bet my friend Chris- if he cut back on his meat consumption - I wouldn't drink. Not even one drop over the holiday weekend. It was not noticed or missed. We can have limitless amounts of wine in our homes, red, white, rose and don't forget the sparkling! We can have a bar & a wine cellar in our homes.

Cannabis- it will be regulated and IF you have OVER the permitted amount in your home, you can still be arrested. It won't happen. Unless you have a crazy amount- good luck, I don't understand the thinking- it's still keeping us under control- an attempt to anyway. It's still prohibition. CONTROL over our lives & choices. 
The federal government also proposed possession limits for adults and youth. Under the federal proposal, adults would be allowed to have up to 30 grams of dried legal cannabis, while people under 18 years old could have up to five grams.

We can  get fall down drunk at a friends bar- at 9 in the morning if we choose (some do) yet  we won't be able to have a cannabis party- it will be too expensive and with the limit- we might let some smell our best bud- but we won't be sharing or comparing.  lol  
Actually most cannabis consumers do share, they have a better attitude and understand the lies surrounding the plant.  It's all fear mongering.  Who will stick to this law?  
Cannabis  has many strains- with many different results from feeling more energized to some that calm you down, some help my mind and others help my body. I look forward to all the varieties which will be offered to people!

WARNING- many for the first time will get  HIGH. I've yet to meet anyone yet who stripped and ran naked though the streets once they have consumed cannabis- if someone does it will be more about the exhibitionist than the cannabis.

It's simple until you know: just go slow.  
Tiny bowls, Tiny puffs.. tiny bites & wait. 
Learn to know how cannabis makes you feel, slowly.. and then collect a strain or two- for the mood you want. I always have a few strains to choose from & have my favourites.  Now to start the day & calm my twitch - #humbervalleykush.. later some #grapeescape for some  great gardening work to be done - this is what I do when I'm high, no lie.

More examples of Canadian cannabis fear mongering coming soon.

With Love

I forgot to mention this cartoon was inspired by comment on FB.
I asked him to explain & he did... clearly the thoughts of many Canadians.
​

"In our cabinet we have about twenty bottles of different liquors. As well,  I have many bottles of wine. I don’t intend to drink them all at once neither will I sell them to anyone else. Why is the proposed limit of x amount of grams or you go to jail valid. I don’t smoke weed myself but I would think that regular smokers could also enjoy different types of weed. Why could they not have a collection to draw from. Not all weed is the same flavor or strength. Anyone can make their own beer or wine at home for their own use so why would there be a limit (within reason) on weed. In my mind this is not legalization.
