Omg I miss these folks. Integrity, honor, intelligence, and class. Trump hates America and ruins everything he touches.

One of my favorite books of all time. I read it, read it aloud to my kid, then I read it again.

I love this so much!

@monetpainter.bsky.social, Thank you for the repost. ❤️Without art and animals, who even are we.

Thank you for the repost, @juliedelikat.bsky.social !

Thank you, @fluffiesheepie.bsky.social for the kind repost. ❤️

Thank you. ❤️ I often feel disheartened. But the desire to paint always makes itself known, doesn't it?

I haven't painted in quite awhile. Maybe I felt the need to take a break from mourning. Art helps me express, when I don't know what else to do. This is The Last of the Soup. Because everything tastes better in a pretty bowl. Stay warm, folks. #ArtYear #food #oilpainting #art #soupbowls

This piece of excrement 34-count felon is responsible for 6 bankruptcies and the destruction of our once fine country. Fox enabled it, Magas voted it in, and Republicans have abandoned it all for their own jobs, leaving our country to rot. Shame on them all.

This is mesmerizing. Such talent!

This is brilliant. 🤎

This is absolutely gorgeous!

This is divine.

youtube.com/watch?v=JV6Q... There are still times when I miss Facebook. I made a friend there who introduced me to some fine music. He would post this song for me every Christmas.

What a pretty woman your mother was! And those sweaters are far from ugly. 🤣

What a fuckin nut.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. It means everything.

Infuckingcredible that this person remains in charge of ruining our country. And he wouldn't be, without the collusion of corrupt Republicans.

Thank you for this! There are many ways to live, and they're all okay.

No, but I would have been a Dippity Do girl.

This is fantastic.

You know you're old and uninspired when you display the Thanksgiving card the insurance guy sends you every year. Nice guy tho.

This is great!

Beautiful!

Thank you! But it sucks. It's all about resilience and trying again another day tho, right?

Ponies at Chincoteague. These are therapy horses that we feed, right next to the wonderful Refuge Inn where we like to stay. It's my home away from home.

Abandoning this current painting, since I can't seem to paint hay at all. But, hay, at least I tried something new. (See what I did there? ☺️)

Just this.❤️

The rampant lying. It almost feels like they are of a different species.

What determines my value? Do I? Is it acceptance by others? Why should I keep trying? For the joy painting gives me! Yet, if so, why am I so easily crushed by the opinions of others? This piece got accepted, anyway. I tell myself, not bad for a self taught artist. But the heart wants what it wants.

Long, happy marriages rock!
