painting of a grizzly bear with upside down American flag, wolf, mountain lion, bald eagle, and other wild animals native to Grand Teton National Park protesting the trump administration's plans to destroy the Endangered Species Act and other seminal U.S. environmental laws, and sell our public lands off to the oil and gas, mining, and logging industries.

I hear you. They want us scared.

They are both amazing musicians and keep getting better and better!

Self-care is so important.

Thanks so much!

Thanks, Cara!

Beautiful!

Thank you so much!

I realized I forgot to post this here. Anyway, this is a portrait I was commissioned to paint for a holiday gift. Piper lives in Chicago with her family which is why she has the Chicago Cubs logo around her neck. The fur on her face was really fun to paint!

Wow!

DAISY by artist Michelle Waters Acrylic paints on wood panel, 8” x 10”. Sides are painted so no frame needed. Hanging hardware is installed on back.

This painting is called “Daisy” and it’s a piece I made a while back that is still looking for an adopter and is on sale now through Cactus Gallery. This cat’s eyes were particularly fun to paint with all those shades of green. tinyurl.com/michellewatersdaisy
