I try to remain positive, and paint when the noise gets to me. Mother of two outstanding compassionate adults. Retired Graphic Designer, Generational Democrat. ☘️ I can’t help the snark. #Resist
And this is what we get from Russell Vought’s Shadow Presidency. All while Trump stuffs his pockets. Great job GOP.
I believe people are chomping at the bit to vote as many of these GOP toadies out of office as they can. We aren’t apathetic, we are anxious! And that is why Trump is trying so hard to take away our right to vote.
If at all possible I would still get your mail in ballots manually stamped. The rules have changed as of 12/24/25.
I haven’t heard of anyone asking for Britain’s help like we helped Britain during WWII. Note in the graph Trump won 2024 by 1.5%. To use the term “you” is misleading. And I still question Musk’s influence on 2024. Words of encouragement would help instead of slamming the door in our face. 🇺🇸
Here’s one I painted over a year ago. My daughter asked me to paint her some trees with fall colors.
I put up 2 bird feeders in my yard 2 months ago and have been seeing a variety of my feathered friends enjoying themselves. Also, I read a week ago that if a Cooper Hawk shows up take down feeders for a couple of weeks. We’ll look crashed the party yesterday. Down came the feeders. 🫤
Hmmmm, so many choices to pick from. Seems like the only one he wasn’t successful at was the complete take over of the US Government during the Coup.
My watercolor of my favorite part of Florida, Sandhill Cranes. #BlueSkyArt #WatercolorArt #NaturePainting #WomenArtBlueSky #ArtistsOnBlueSky #FloridaArt
I guess when you devalue education, science, critical thinking and humanity this is what you get. Thanks GOP.
I took this photo a couple of months ago just because the pattern struck me as interesting. Nature is fascinating.
RFK Jr appears to be a man desperately grasping onto any semblance of relevance. He spews nonsense like it’s written in stone all while Trump allows him to hack his way through the real intellectual property of the United States. All in the name of Project 2025 and Trump’s unending greed.
Absolutely. Music is magical. I was a graphic designer and now paint. Whenever I get stumped for an idea or working through an idea I listen to music. I believe it stimulates and opens to mind to other levels we don’t quite understand. Orchid flowers from my back yard.
This is my go to Watercolor paper. Italian Hot Press 140 lb. I like the smoothness of the Hot Press. I need to break away and try some larger handmade paper. Thanks for the response.
This photo might help the next time you talk to someone that is incapable of dealing with the idea of a globe.
Trump called fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers” in his 1st term. Once again it’s astonishing he was reelected.
I’m a retired graphic designer and now painting watercolors is what I enjoy. I never sit down to paint without music. For me it stimulates the creative part of my brain. And if I am still struggling with an idea I just paint a yellow circle on the page! You never know where it will take you.
I do believe Americans’ are getting sick of politicians telling everyone how to live & what to think. Particularly since the Reagan Administration they’ve done nothing but put the poor & middle class on a path to being able to afford less and less while they stuff their greedy pockets. GOP mostly.
I can’t be the only one that believes the future is women. Something has to change. And it might have be the removal of the Electoral College.
Love the trains. And we all absolutely need a distraction from the mania. Mine are watercoloring, struggling with bonsais’ 😑 and gardening. This is a Plumeria that has sprouted its first seed pod. Plumeria flowers are used to make the Hawaii leis.
You would think there would be public access to this information somewhere. This is what I just found. Worth a try.
