This is me at the second protest and march today. It was cold and windy and was wrapping up when we took this (forgot to take pictures- lots of people stopped to take photos and videos but haven’t seen them yet). The one on the Highway had about 800 people & this one about 1700 (speech & March).

Here in Princeton, NJ, a town of about 30,000 people, the crowd at the #HandsOff protest. Appeared to be about 1300-1500 people, as high as 5% of the population. It's the largest event I have seen in this public space.

My daughter gets the penguin protest sign. I’m holding the Statue of Liberty sign. See you at the Princeton, NJ protest!

My husband was given 1-2 years to live. He got accepted to be a part of a NIH cancer study. He is half way through and now we worry if NIH will continue to send the investigational drug to the cancer center.

How many will die?

Today a friend from Sweden told a small group of us (from the US) not to lose hope because the good people in other countries are there to help. Instantly I had tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. We thought we knew how to spread democracy, but now we need our own international intervention.

I'm using Adilson Farias brushes for Procreate, but I don't think I'm using them well. Does anyone have a tip about getting the strokes to not overlap? Left is traditional watercolor, right is digital in Procreate.

I had fun making this illustration for another Shel Silverstein poem I loved as a kid!

I started this illustration in traditional watercolor, but added digital touches to clean it up. Love this poem by Shel Silverstein!

Thank you, @brianlarossa.com, for a helpful portfolio review! I am going to categorize my work in alignment with the market and focus on some of the humorous characters. I appreciate your help!

I love drawing horses... this is young Leonardo da Vinci in his sketchbook world, drawing a horse.

This year, I looked at wood carvings to inspire my pumpkin in the great Hopewell Valley Arts Council annual pumpkin carving contest. Took a few hours. But it was worth it! Fifth place out of a big field of truly awesome carvers. Happy Halloween!
