Oil painting of Irving from Severance in s2e9. Was going for sad/hopeful, but may have overshot to ‘about to cry’. I spent about an hour on this (1 layer). Visible brushstrokes. Shadow tones red/brown on face fading into blue/grey. Off-white background with some of the paper still visible. Photographed on the ground outside.

Too late, the damage is done. Canadians now realize the USA is not our ally.

Exactly, and no one ever reports on the illegal guns being used in crimes coming into Canada from the USA. Double standards.

Disgusting! Laughing and not refuting a single thing that fool was spouting. No wonder your country is in chaos.

We’ve had a bobcat gracing our neighbourhood. Beautiful creature 🤩
