I like people, I like wanting to know as much as possible about almost everything.
Cuddles came into my life at the right time I just put HighNoon to sleep. Having Cuddles to stay next to me, cuddle up and just reassure me I’m still important to him is everything.
HighNoon laying on the chairs waiting for I don’t know. He’s not behaving as he always had. I’m worried. I have an appt tomorrow with the vet because I can’t afford the $250 to see a vet today.
Cuddles happily content atop the chairs next to the food bowls. He’s settling in and is NOT letting HighNoon intimidate him. I’m hoping over time they accept each other as my ‘sons’ therefore LOVED equally. When Tigger died it left a hole in HighNoon’s social structure hence me getting Cuddles.
This is a painting I did in 1975. The ‘original’ I left her head off because according to religious doctrine a brain is unnecessary. I had to paint a head on her because I was told it was ‘too strong’.
I was going to call him Hobo but I think Cuddles is more apropos. He loves to be hugged. 😍❤️
Hobo My little kitty came out of hiding! He’s so cuddly. Thought I’d call him Cuddles instead of Hobo.
One of my early paintings making a ‘commercial’ art piece. It’s 4’X 4’ which was refused by the gallery in Hit Springs.
Back in the day when I was using my talent as an ‘artist’ to express my personal views, I painted from my heart. Then 1 day I decided to be ‘commercial’ and painted for the ‘market’. What a FU! No gallery in Hot Springs would display my art. Said ‘IF’ they did no artist would ever display here.
The thunderstorms we’re having is a blessing. The rain is in dribbles in spite of the thunder. Hot Springs is on a rock. Trees bushes etc. CANNOT sink roots into solid rock!
Does he look hungry, misused, starved, angry, frustrated? He keeps hitting my iPhone. 😻🥰
Tigger’s last moments. He was hurting my heart was breaking I could do nothing because he couldn’t swallow his meds. 💔
Tigger home from the Vet. He has a throat or lung condition. I ran out of money so didn’t get chest X-rays. Doc ‘gave’ me pills for cough etc. He’ll let me pay next month after I get my SS check I guess DJT better leave SS alone or Tigger won’t get his meds.
This is one of my paintings that was turned down by a gallery in Hot Springs. He said IF he displayed it he would never have another local artist displayed in his gallery again. I had it ‘stolen’ by someone willing to display it in a public place so everyone could enjoy it.
I gotta lay off the wine. I got to thinking about a bicycle I own. Thought of giving it to a young girl who would LOVE to ride a mountain bike. Then I got to thinking about all the other stuff I have/made and had taken from me.
I’m not black but I know what it is to be discriminated against. Ask any woman who picketed, marched and got spit on going for the same rights as all white males.
A tree in Greenwood cemetery that was blown over during a storm. Please note the ROOT SYSTEM! There is NONE! That’s because Hot Springs is built on a ROCK! All plants must try to find moisture in the cracks and fissures. Last year no rain, more plants died. Today we’re having dribbles. Plants LOVE
Evening in the Ladd household. I wish everyone could feel this secure and content & SAFE around the world.
A painting I made that was stolen by pretending to hang it for me at the convention center in Hot Springs Ar. Anybody who may know where it is asked to please contact me.
Hole in fence neighbor’s dogs are coming into my yard. Owner doesn’t care I guess.
Tigger living as best I can give him. His bed on a chair next to me, secure in the knowledge I’m never far away.
Tigger He will be 15 2/1/2026. He and I became one when he was 9 months old He was beaten and has never forgotten. He’s my smart son. My best buddy.
