Something new! I've been toying with new altar concepts. This one is a circlet with a bottle suspended in twine to hold an intention, flowers carefully arranged & a sun/moon watching over all. The intention can be updated anytime.

A couple more watercolor flowers. I've done this one a few times now and I really dig it. I think I'll try doing this same style of flower in a grouping and see about playing around with perspective and shadow. BTW - the blue is with and without outline,same flower

This is the perfect image. It accurately depicts how the GOP regards children. Props and possessions but certainly not people. Shameful

A tea cup I drew. Still working on shading and perspective. I think I'm developing a style. But that doesn't really explain what I mean. Still looking for the right word. Maybe more like developing a look, or a type or even an expression of self. Huh. That sounds too lofty.

My first try at a hummingbird. I think there's something here. I think the bird needs to be oriented differently and the flower is a bit too loose imo but, with more practice, this might really be a good looking watercolor. 😃

Remember Brock Turner? We'll, here we have Camden Dean Dahle. The courts abdicated their responsibility so let's make this child offender internet famous.
When this person reoffends this judge should be impeached.

This butterfly has the blues 🎶
So, more of the glazing technique and this time a bit of shadow. Since that is totally new to me I tapped the expert @schadwen.bsky.social & got some good advice

Um, I'm not sure why we are at this point but I guess we have to keep telling these greedy %$@#'s that YOU DON'T STEAL FROM CHILDREN. And frankly if I was on the board of his company I would have serious reservations about his leadership. #drogbruk #piotrszczerek

I'm excited to tell you all that I drew a butterfly! I've been working on them for a bit and I've struggled a great deal. But today I drew and watercolored this one and I'm pleased with it.
Practice! Onward! 😃

Woohoo! This jerk is finally gone. His teachings were utterly racist and bigoted. Glad to see him go.
He was accused of using his influence to spread "anti-gay propaganda" and was formally designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Good riddance
