As an artist last year was hard but this year seems increasingly unpredictable. I don’t want a repeat of getting shut down on the finish line like with last year’s mail strike cancelling my seasonal sales which I worked towards all year. I feel stuck and demotivated by indecision.

I’m going to need a new snow shovel, I’ve broken my last one. Snow well above my knee and we’re apparently getting more. Free snow anyone? Imagine the amount of snow cones you can make. 😅

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’ve had a lovely day and that you’ve spoiled yourself even if you spent it alone. Don’t wait for someone else to make you feel special, you already are.

My car is a Bugatti, prove me wrong. 😂

As the snowstorm is howling and bearing down on us in Ontario the full moon is obscured so no star gazing for me tonight. I painted this a few years ago and it seems to suit the mood of recent days, contemplative and wondering what’s to come. Stay warm. I’m off to tuck myself in. Good night!

Cheers from Eastern Ontario with a Niagara wine. We’re likely about to get snowed in and school buses in this area have been cancelled a day in advance for the first time I’ve experienced in a decade. I’m going nowhere tomorrow even if I can get out. Stay safe and warm!

The unity in Canada & the support from blue dots in the US, EU & as far away as our commonwealth friends in Australia is a pretty big deal to me. Without it I’d be pretty depressed right now. I live in a border area that was invaded by the US in 1812 & it’s still Canada. Thank you for speaking up.

The atmosphere here was different today, distracted and a little annoyed. What a crazy time to be alive in North America.

A hockey reference from Canada: America has left their goal wide open. I don’t think they know how vulnerable they’ve made themselves. If I’m thinking this without ANY strategic background, I wonder who else is thinking it. A superpower made a little league error. They have no goalie in net.

It takes a lot to rile up the majority of Canada to the point of anger but mission accomplished. There’s this saying about not mistaking kindness for weakness & Canada is a prime example. For Canadians kindness is a source of strength. The next few months or potentially years will be interesting.

This is my new friend. It has helped me recover from lung inflammation. It seemed counter intuitive to jump while breathing was painful but it worked. I’m putting together a fitness/sensory area for my son in his old room & it seems the timing for a rebounder was right on point.

I was expecting life over 40 to mean more injuries. I was NOT expecting to rip my lip while taking a pill but here we are. 😅

Please someone share something positive. I’ve been trying to recover from a flu for nearly a month and it’s been hard to log on to socials and seeing so many depressing developments. I can’t even combat a virus, let alone world politics.

This has been the slowest start to a year yet for me. I’m grateful for the rest it has given me. I’m currently working on trying to get back on track. I feel bad for not being active enough online since the holidays.

Somebody shared this today from a post I made six years ago. A highlight of my art from that year. Don’t underestimate the impact of feeling seen that you create when reposting someone’s content, especially when it’s as personal as art or anything human made. I wish you a dazzling new year!

I finally got to use one of my gifts from last Christmas. Cheers!
