Tell me why was I wide awake at 5:30am this Saturday morning and immediately my brain says, Michelle you know that hole in the drywall that’s been there for like 7 years? well you need to make a mental plan for fixing it and now seems like a fantastic time to do that.

I love to paint, but for the life of me, struggle to find my own style. So, for now, I see something I like and try to recreate it and it is so fun! Here are a couple that my spouse, who loves to skate, asked me to do (logos from skate brands/adds)…

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
