When we get over confident, life has a way of humbling us. If you are open to learning, this is how we develop into humble people.

Put out into the world, that what you wish to get back. If you desire kindness in your moments of weakness, youโ€™d better be graceful in doing the same for others.

Those who seek to master their craft do not gatekeep information.
Only the weak minded hoard information in fear of another besting them.
To empower you, is to empower us. And then, we can all win.

If you intend to only surround yourself with those who agree with you, and dismiss all that ever disagree. Then you intend for a very lonely life, my friend.

To find happiness in what you do, is a great thing to strive for.
But I believe seeking purpose is a far greater vision.

For when the times get tough, and they will, remember:

You can fight for purpose,
Even at the cost of your happiness.
Can you fight for happiness?

This is a cropped, close-up image of the planet Venus, taken by the Parker Solar Probeโ€™s WISPR instrument. The image shows a crescent Venus against the black backdrop of space, with the edge of the planetary limb clearly defined. The crescent is illuminated by sunlight, transitioning from a bright, almost white glow at the top right edge to a subtle, golden yellow that dominates the majority of the illuminated area, before fading into the darkness of the planet's night side at the bottom left. The distinct variations in brightness and texture across the crescent suggest cloud formations or atmospheric layers. A bright, flaring light source is visible at the top right corner, likely the Sun, which contributes to the illumination of the crescent. The overall composition emphasizes the stark contrast between the luminous crescent and the surrounding darkness, highlighting the curvature and celestial context of Venus.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

To be clear, I never said โ€˜justโ€™. Speaking in absolutes when you are sharing your opinion leaves very little room for debate.
Please do share what you consider their best video; that is based on truth rather an opinion. I would be interested to know what is gained and lost from such efforts.

The first thing Iโ€™ve learned from this book is to build the branch or tree in short lines, not taking long strokes like Iโ€™d previously been doing. The short lines give you room to add notches and more organic shapes.

Draw 50 Flowers, Trees and Other Plants by Lee J. Ames. 
Iโ€™d say this book is not really the best for beginners, as the progressions have no explanation as to the thinking. So I think to use this book to retain new practices will be tough.

I got a new book on #drawing foliage! Iโ€™ve mostly been trying to get better at drawing #trees and #bushes.
This #book is good for seeing the phases that go into a drawing. But it doesnโ€™t have any accompanying text, so you Really need to study each phase and play with it #art

In my opinion the monarchy is not the issue. The โ€˜first past the postโ€™ voting system is soo obviously broken, itโ€™s laughable. But it doesnโ€™t get changed because the winner is the one who gets to change it.. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Iโ€™m not the most informed on it, but from my understanding, the UK monarchy is more of a tourist attraction and used to support international relations.
But I could imagine if the genuine cost of repairing and hosting them outweighed their return value, that could be politicised to their end.

That what comes easy
can be so easily
overlooked.

When we surround ourselves with others. Experience their strength.
In turn, we find our own.

I was born rebellious. I inherited it from my mother.
Iโ€™ve always been comfortable against the flow. In reflection, as a teenager, I was often rebellious without a cause. And that can burn ourselves.

But now I can put a name to the fire within me. Now I have a purpose for rebellion. #SolarPunk

A brown wooden cabin with snow all around. Drawn with fine liners and colours in varied brown tones with alcohol markers. Behind the cabin we can see some trees as they fade off into the distance. Further behind still is the vague impression of mountains in the far off mist.

This was my recent first attempt at doing some #canvasart. This is only a small canvas to practice using #alcoholmarkers, I had to gloss it first, but it looks like it works ok.

I hesitated to post this as Iโ€™m not anti-religion, but it was a great rhyme to use. When I debated the deeper meaning before posting, I concluded that religion is not free of violence.

The old world was built on violence and denial.
The new world is crying out for empathy and honesty.
We are currently straddling both worlds. We feel the urge to be emotionally awake, but itโ€™s hard to go against the steeple. 

To this I say, itโ€™s much easier, once you find your people.

I think perhaps there is more room for creative liberty with drawing. But with music, there is so much more foundation needed before we can play with the rules.

Thank you. I really appreciate that. Iโ€™ve only been drawing for the last few years and I enjoy it so much.
I got into music when I was younger, but it was always a battle between my mind and my heart. With learning to draw, Iโ€™ve found it naturally harmonious. I hope to carry that back one day ๐Ÿ’š
