Botanical watercolour painting of a deep pink/red rose

First post on @bsky.app sharing some of my artwork. I’m a botanical and wildlife artist based in London. Watercolour is my main medium, I’m happy to answer any watercolour questions anyone has.

Maybe I’ll see what this white stuff is all about…. NOPE! 🙂‍↔️😆 #Caturday

Kitteh is a grey tuxedo cat and he is smirking at the camera

Kitteh said “WTH”! 😳

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Holy shit.

He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him.

His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.

He never had his hand on a weapon.

Cold blooded murder.

Kitteh, a grey and white cat, is curled up with an arm over his eyes as he takes a catnap under “his” desk by his pillow!

42% of cancer patients in America deplete their entire life savings within the first 2 years of their diagnosis.

We can't help them, but apparently we can bribe everyone in Greenland with a check of up to $100 grand if they secede from Denmark.

Because: America first!

Oh, and as usual: it was about the oil

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

Minnesota just launched our statewide paid leave program.

Starting today new parents, small business owners, and people recovering from illness or injury will have the security to take needed time off work without risking their paycheck.

And just like that, millions of Americans are now uninsured because Republicans don’t care.

You can tell no woman was near this story because $630 is not even close to the upper end for designer boots

Happy New Year🎉

May you be happy.
May you be well.
May you be safe.
May you be peaceful.
May you be free from suffering.

May all beings be happy.
May all beings be well.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be free from suffering.

The Walk for Peace monks have reached Georgia State line.

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

So, don't ever start your own business and be self employed…

Imagine if you had to pay stage iv cancer treatments out of it…

Purrry noseboops! Happy #Caturday!

Same!

Two Oncology appointments this month. Someone screwed up my scan schedule, too. Don't know how to keep going if nothing changes with ACA based on January insurance hike.

Thank you, he's total cuddle baby! 😻

A big lesson from my cancer diagnosis.

If you start feeling people are taking advantage of your time, just disregard those folks. Keep moving. It’s not worth your time. Live your life, and stop being on others people’s time.

Hard lesson I have learned. #Cansky

Kitteh is on a diet! Poor thing….

*autistic children just because

Believe what you will but don't mislead people. It's not “just a post”. Someone tired and vulnerable may act on it. May not be your intention but try not to make it your impact.
