Finished just in time for weekend to end. Booooo.

Cats on banisters.

Side note: WTF, autocorrect, changing "banister" to "canister" and briefly convincing me I'd made up a word until I was ultimately vindicated by Merriam Webster. I am too old for this sh*t!

"Angel". Finally finished. Eighth in my colored pencil series "Women of Color". The paper was a disaster but it's fine if you don't look too closely in a few spots...

Pretty sure these deer were on a date and my cats crashed it. Super inappropriate. I blame the parents.

Full day of writing. Googled "what does outside smell like?" Paused and took the cats for a walk to touch grass. #indoorcat #indoorwriter

Did not intend for this account to be entirely cats but their lives are infinitely more interesting than mine...

Michiko tastes the rainbow.

Romy and Michelle vibes.

Spay-cation update: we've switched from donut collars to cat pajamas.

Devastated to hear the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon burned down. I painted this a few years ago after a quick summer trip. Sad this view may be gone for good.

These paintings don't mean anything. They will not change the world. But I had fun making them and they still bring a smile to my face.

Usually they walk in opposite directions and puzzle over why it won't turn. Rare treat to see them working together ❤️

Digging my roots out of Instagram and repotting myself here. Hoping the soil has less artificial slop and fascism but I won't hold my breath 😤
