The chicken king. I was thinking yesterday's chicken needed a crown so I made another chicken today. #watercolor #chicken #art

Anyone craving a chicken taco? #watercolor #art #chicken #taco

Watercolor and acrylic. It's a mono-print with black acrylic and watercolor on top. #watercolor #monoprint #acrylic #mixedmedia

Love is a dangerous game. #watercolor #art #potion

I've missed three days of watercolor painting. Saturday I did touch paint by doing some acrylic mono-prints that all failed. This is yesterday's painting. Tbh, sometimes despair breaks my motivation. I'm a tiny cog in a giant machine built for the wealthy. #watercolor #art #despair

Enjoy my Saturday with coffee and the mountain. ☺️ #mtrainier #coffee

This article makes me want to cancel my Duolingo #duolingo

Ok I had very little time today. My goal this week is to make more time for painting. I'm still getting used to the natural hair brushes. They hold so much water! #watercolor #art

Save the bees! I noticed some bees hard at work in my partner's garden so I thought I would paint them into his book of gardening secrets. #watercolor #art #bees (138/365)

Yesterday's painting, an exercise of circles. #watercolor #art #circles

Kilmar Abrego Garcia STILL has not been returned to the United States, as ordered by the Supreme Court.

This is what I painted today. Sunflowers and watermelon and a bird ravenous for more and more and more money, gifts, wealth, and attention. #watercolor #art #money

Yesterday's painting, I didn't post it because I was unhappy with it but what always happens when I look at my work later or with distance, I feel differently about it or see something new. #watercolor #art #lotus

I wanted to try the idea from yesterday again so here is attempt two. #watercolor #art #guyfawkes

Our neighborhood has a lot of houses with Christmas decorations still up. Not ambiguous lights but clearly Christmas decorations maybe a dozen hoses. Anyone else seeing this in their neighborhood? I've never seen them last into May. #Christmas #holiday

Just a normal painting for a normal time in history. #history #watercolor #art

Seahorse says, "good day". I tried to do a reflection a bit late in the journey but something to experiment with. #watercolor #art #seahorse

Octopus says, Hai! Happy Mother's Day! #watercolor #art #octopus

I'm sad today but I still painted. Some days I read more news than others. Some days I'm just bummed. It happens to us all and it is ok. #watercolor #plants #selfcare

Just playing around today. I have months to explore this medium. Stick with me. ❤️ #watercolor #art #mixedmedia

Herbal plants. Small vignettes of useful plants. #watercolor #art #plants

We have to punch up, not across. Our neighbors are not our enemies those who do not respect our existence should expect our resistance. #watercolor #art #resisttyranny

Common nightingale with sunflowers. #watercolor #art #birds #peace

Today started rough and is ending ok. I hope the week finishes positive. (Yes, I know it is only Monday.) I painted a Palestine Sunbird this evening. I thought its feathers and iridescence were lovely. #watercolor #art #sunbird #peace

Meowth Cater. He has a dark side, loves cat nip and naps in the sun. #maythefourth #watercolor #art

I feel angry today. I wanted to paint a chicken in a crown. Probably should have. Instead you get a road to somewhere and the phrase currently living rent free in my brain. #watercolor #art #angry

Also my painting for today. Together we will not be defeated. #resist #watercolor #art #protest

Ok the Minecraft movie was awesome. I love movies that know they are ridiculous and lean in. #minecraft #lavachicken

Considering calling your representatives. We need to see strong action! 5calls.org

This is unacceptable! He is amping up the violence again. Don't sleep on the leopards. They will eat your face. #resist

Ever make a decision, get anxiety, change something and then feel frustrated and anxious again? No? Just me? Cool cool cool.

There were so many interesting signs at Cal Anderson Park today. One person was in an inflatable chicken costume. I didn't take any pictures. It was a powerful day. When we fight; we win. For transparency I had to edit the image. #watercolor #art #mayday #resist

I'm going to head into Blick Art Materials and stop by Cal Anderson Park. It's such a nice day out, this is the right thing to do today.

This is on my mind tonight. #watercolor #art #protest #mayday

The problem with audiobooks is not being able to highlight a quote. The continued patterns in US history is staggering. And I'm still in the 1700's #booksky I need a book club for this book! (The People's History of the US by Howard Zinn)

I'm listening to The People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. It is disturbing. I don't read a lot of violence and America's history is just that. It gives perspective of the people who were impacted, the marginalized and powerless. The glossed over history. Don't look away. #booksky

Today is about community. We are often so separate from our neighbors. We need to come together in mutual kindness and love. We don't know what others are going through and times are tough. #watercolor #art #community
