The world is burning but at least, “Bowl of Fruit for Mom” was a gift giving success. Merry Christmas Bluesky! Here’s to hoping we can start setting things left in 2026.

My second attend at a sunflower. Better than my first, but still not great. At least it was relaxing.

Mom asked me to paint her a bowl of fruit for the kitchen, so I’m surprising her for Christmas (she thinks I’m working on another painting). Hopefully I can get it done this weekend, but I’ve never painted anything like this before and the flowers are kicking my ass.

New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing
@mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors!
They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

“I’m not Lurch, Dad. I’m Eric.”
“How’s your mother, Eric?”
“She’s dead.”
“You should have told me. I could have stuck her in the weeds — I can use the tax deduction.”
“You did that already.”

People keep blaming the rise of fascism on the books women are reading but you know what I think the real cause is?

First term the “economy” party’s tax bill tanked the economy and now in his second term they’re doing it again. I’ll never understand how so many voters can keep putting their bigotry above their own prosperity.

I was not a fan when he first joined the party, but after finishing the game, I think Verso is one of my favorite video game characters. So beautifully complex and sad. He’s right up there with Cloud and Aerith.

Left is the inspiration and the one one the right is my attempt. Just some highlights and the large cherry blossom branches left and my mom will have a new painting for mother’s day.

Took Sunday and Monday off from painting to game, then took a break from gaming today to paint. I really need to learn how to do water reflections. 🤦♀️
