I found the full post but I guess you have to be on facebook to contact the author. Do you want me to talk to her and ask your questions?

At first I thought this was my reference photo for a painting I did.
Acrylic painting of a brown rabbit as seen from behind, his head turned back with a daisy in his mouth. The background is a bit blurry and full of rich green foliage

Not yet! But it feels close!
Sort of Chonky white woman seated on her rollator, dressed in purple, with b/w sling purse and straw hat in a park in France. She has a big blue cup with straw to her right in a cup holder on the walker. Sunglasses on. Trees behind her, in the shade. With a big smile.

Sunrise over Brest, Brittany, France. I’m not getting a lot of sleep. Enjoying our trip for my milestone birthday.
Big full moon over tan multilevel buildings with slate colored roots. Sky is a gentle ombré from dusty blue to pastel pinks and purples.

Motion. #CareDecember day five. 5 x 8 in sq. In journal.
Mixed media collage in burnt orange and green grey. Words in white contribute to the background. Small written card forms the background of a stick figure with collaged vintage head of a white man. The word “motion” is stamped in black and is the artist’s word of the year, tentatively. Collaged man appears to have body and mind in motion.

“My body aches to breathe your breath, your words keep me alive.” #lyrics. Mixed media collage in my journal
Mixed media collage in my journal. Pinks and creams with a white woman showing off her green cardigan on one side and half a cerebrum on the other half. Lyrics read, in all caps, “my body aches to breathe your breath, your words keep me alive.” The woman is dressed in green, apple green dots border the page and the woman is outlined in fuchsia and then apple green. There are three apple green Xs at the bottom right.
