Me, talking to my husband earlier about going to see the last Downton Abbey movie tonight...
Me: it should be fine, Maggie Smith died in the last movie so I don't really have a reason to cry this time.

Me, as the credits rolled on this movie:

I've had enough of summer, let's end it now.

Another house portrait. This time of a log home. Line and wash watercolor.

I am begging Microsoft to please set up some kind of "parental controls" for those of us who have to help our parents do ANYTHING on the computer. Let me manage their accounts and passwords. I'm so tired of having to sort through stacks of passwords and user names that they keep at their desk.

Walked a mile and a half today, and I've never felt more elderly.

I don't know if I am in trouble or what...

Anytime there is a traffic issue, you can be sure it was caused by some a-hole in a pickup truck.

My newest "house" portrait commission. This was the most difficult one I've done so far. So much to get right in perspective and proportion. Hopefully I've done it some justice.

She's watching the ocean documentary too.

I've been with you since I found your Books of Adam blog on stumbleupon. I've always enjoyed what you've done, no matter what stage of your career you've been in. 🫶

Some kids get a hold of their parents phone/computer and order things without their parents knowing. Sometimes it's toys from Amazon, sometimes it's 100 hamburgers from McDonalds.

My 6yr old? Microsoft 365... family plan (1 yr).

From last fall, I don't really know what to call it. 3D watercolor? Watercolor diorama? Anyway, it was fun to try, and I am looking forward to doing more like this when the inspiration arises.

We are really struggling with some awful stuff over here. Thanks for educating us and making us laugh. It's much needed.

Love my new artwork for the dining room. Words to live by.

Another house portrait that I did around Christmas time. This time some pretty pink flowers took center stage.

Gorgeous!

13yr old me was hooked for life. I can't believe I've been playing these games for 25 years.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

A house portrait I did for someone a few months ago. It was really fun working on this mid century modern with beautiful stonework. Watercolor and pen.

Another day I haven’t inherited a charming yet battered bed and breakfast by the sea with a dark history only I can uncover

Sack of potatoes.

Enjoying a little treat when suddenly...

Seemed like a good time for a re-watch.

I just got home from the grocery store. Why aren't my eggs cheaper yet????????????????!!!!!!!?

Human here, I think your art is lovely, so I followed you! 🖌️🎨

Tonight I was in a meeting with other parents, and one woman at the table next to me was mindlessly clacking her fake nails on her metal cup, over and over. I thought I was going to lose my mind. I couldn't concentrate, all I could hear was clacking, & tapping, CLACKING, AND TAPPING

You know why I love reading? These days it’s one of the few respites from being constantly advertised to.

Detectorists is so dang amazing. One of my top five all time favorite shows. I will have to look this one up.

A Christmas shout-out to everyone who has to remember to text their parents/grandparents several hours before a family gathering, to remind them to turn their heat down. 🎄🎁
