My planned submission to a local event only to find out it was full. Guess I waited to long to figure out what I wanted to paint. Oh well, such is life 🤷🏾‍♀️

Still trying to wrap my head around this one. The patterns and textures…on a solid piece of fabric…with just thread…amazing work.

“Perfectionism is synonymous with control and fear.” When I accepted this was a trait I needed to break it made a difference not only in my art but also my personal life.

I’m getting closer to something…I can feel it. My brush strokes are getting looser and my perspective wasn’t too bad. I had to keep telling myself not to get into the nitty gritty details and just let go.

There’s still positive in the world! As someone who has to travel to a different state for my trans daughters care all this has me on pins and needles.

This is the first major victory for trans rights in the second Trump administration.

When we fight for trans rights, we win.

When I was little my favorite part of the new school year was my school bag with those fresh and crisp school supplies. I’d organize them and sit and look at them in appreciation. Im still like that with new art supplies.

I rarely take my art out and about. Because I can’t just do my sketchbook, pencil and a micron. What if I want color…who knows what color(s) I’ll want??!!…and materials! Do I want some oil pastels?? Maybe colored pencils…are paints reasonable? You get the picture literally and figuratively #art

Sick livestock are cut, lanced, drained, de-balled and then sent on their way with no antibiotics or dressings yet their bodies, in all the farm muck, have the ability to keep bacteria at bay and heal quickly. How? Any why just some species? Stay curious people it leads to books like the one below.

Have a submission date of 2/21… but imposter syndrome hits hard and I’m like a deer in headlights…frozen. I can’t seem to produce anything but no problem making a sketchbook fish 😃
Tips on getting past project pressure?

Hegseth’s revival of Fort Bragg name is too clever by half • NC Newsline
Hegseth can cloak the move however he likes, but its true purpose as another ATTACK on racial justice and basic norms of democratic governance is patently obvious.

Finished reading Dear Hanna by Zoje Stage which people called a thriller on Good Reads. The only thing this novel did was make me slightly paranoid because I related to the main character a bit too much. Having me question if I’m a sociopath who never knew it.

Blunt oil pastels and a small sketchbook perhaps is not the best way to practice face proportions but it sure makes you not be precious about it. He looks wonky but I think it’s charming.

It’s a balmy 68 degrees here in Western NC. I don’t want to get too excited for spring but I just can’t help it!
