WIP "Rabbits After Rain". 1st layer down. One of several in progress in a series inspired by flowers I saw all around Andalusia this last April.

There will be a twist ending in the lighting, before I am done!

Call and tell them how you feel:
John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

Democratic leadership:
YOU MUST VOTE HARDER.

Democratic voters:
VOTE SUPER HARD IN MASSIVE NUMBERS AND FLIP SEATS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Democratic leadership:
WE’RE CAVING. LULZ.

If only Chuck Schumer could be just 5% Mitch McConnell and not 100% Charlie Brown.

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.
Democrats are likely to get a vote on an extension later. But they've already gotten similar votes. Republicans already vowing to block an extension without major changes to the ACA, like adding Hyde language.

I don't usually make calls but I did this time. Following up their abandonment of Mamdani with abandonment of millions of constituents is going to guarantee people show up to primary @chuckschumer.com and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social
These are the senators who are about to vote to destroy us by caving on the shutdown for nothing in return. You can call and leave a message since it's Sunday, and try again tomorrow when they're open at 9am.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

In which our heroine punches a hole through her painting while attaching hanging hardware -- 6 days before exhibition in an art fair -- and has a Learning Opportunity (how to repair it)(also, how to never repeat this mistake).

I love glazing over a grisaille layer. It reminds me of a quote, "color is magical, but it is not magic", I think by @art.pete.repeat on IG whose teachings I apply every day!

I've been listening to "The Lark Ascending" a lot while painting lately. Calming music for chaotic times.

"Space Formation I" is finished! I love the brushwork in this piece, and the colors really vibrate. They are floating in a constellation sans tin can but seem to be having fun!
