Pine mouse 5 x 7 watercolour & gouache
The last little mouse inspired another... several, one painted & a few still waiting in my mind. I certainly don't have any excuse for a lack of ideas or inspiration as I sit painting and watching Fall happen! I enjoy these tiny paintings, most days I can paint two, possibly even 3. What stops me usually is pain & why I'm grateful for cannabis - a pain medicine I can take 'when I need it. I usually have some before I attempt to watch something on T.V. trying to slow my twitch down so I can focus on the show & the subtitles. The good thing about reading is I can take a breath, rest a moment and then continue and I don't miss anything or have to hit the pause every few moments & I guess the same could be said for painting. Having a puffiest before or during a movie slows it down enough not to be overly distracted or overwhelmed by it.
I have no desire to defend' cannabis anymore... use it or don't but don't knock them that do. They also don't belong in jail.
When I think about the food pyramid - created by the government to keep us our healthiest', NOW exposed as a complete lie, all those that knew "on the board" who lined their pocket with our lives, they should be in jail. They have caused more harm to humans - creating sickness and obesity in billions. People, even when exposed to the truth will still choose what they do & it seems to me that it's usually based from fear. No wonder we are told FEAR NOT in the bible once for every day of the year. Many I have known who smoke cigarettes & know they are very bad for them, admit they don't research because they "don't want to know", they're hooked. They fear quitting & fear knowing. Cigarettes, another time we were lied to for the love of money & profit. Alcohol. So no.. I don't care to argue with anyone one about something like cannabis or anything natural created by God - not man who used Gods creations to make sugary, fattening poisons disguised as 'food' & deadly PILLS at record profits. Anyone who thinks the lies have stopped are lying to themselves.
Someone was commenting the other day on Instagram about cannabis and was ready with the 'science' phbbbbt, ready to defend - yet completely ignoring the real dangers of cannabis = JAIL. Humiliation. Judgement. Poverty. *note I did not mention death. I decided at that second, I'm done arguing with others about cannabis, I have the best 'science' - experience. Pain relief, that's not messing up bowel movements & making me nauseous, has never killed anyone & I do not find addictive... allowing me, to use it when I need it. I felt like responding "do you defended the 'science' of opiates with such fierceness...", why bother. At this point why bother wasting our precious time judging anyone for anything like this, instead of focusing on raising each other up. When God want's us to learn about something/anything, namely -The Truth, we will. That and there are far more serious things happening to be passionate & defensive about - like protecting children & preventing the powers that be from killing us with lies - for profit.
I've got a sweet frog on my desk calling me back on this wet, bluster fall day - fantastic for painting.
Next: My Rugged Rosary. Inspired by Jesus, for Jesus & me.
Enjoy this day The Lord has made!
