Nobody of note. I like to do art and make things.
Me, talking to my husband earlier about going to see the last Downton Abbey movie tonight...
Me: it should be fine, Maggie Smith died in the last movie so I don't really have a reason to cry this time.
Me, as the credits rolled on this movie:

I am begging Microsoft to please set up some kind of "parental controls" for those of us who have to help our parents do ANYTHING on the computer. Let me manage their accounts and passwords. I'm so tired of having to sort through stacks of passwords and user names that they keep at their desk.

My newest "house" portrait commission. This was the most difficult one I've done so far. So much to get right in perspective and proportion. Hopefully I've done it some justice.

Some kids get a hold of their parents phone/computer and order things without their parents knowing. Sometimes it's toys from Amazon, sometimes it's 100 hamburgers from McDonalds.

From last fall, I don't really know what to call it. 3D watercolor? Watercolor diorama? Anyway, it was fun to try, and I am looking forward to doing more like this when the inspiration arises.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

A house portrait I did for someone a few months ago. It was really fun working on this mid century modern with beautiful stonework. Watercolor and pen.

Tonight I was in a meeting with other parents, and one woman at the table next to me was mindlessly clacking her fake nails on her metal cup, over and over. I thought I was going to lose my mind. I couldn't concentrate, all I could hear was clacking, & tapping, CLACKING, AND TAPPING
