Splendid fairy wrens *enjoy fairy cakes… or so I am led to believe… *they don’t actually like fairy cakes, but they do like insects, which fairy cakes if left for a long time will eventually attract… Painting available from the Moree Gallery moreegallery.com.au/denise-faulk...

Shows a watercolour painting of splendid fairy wrens snacking on a fairy cake in a blue spotty patty cake case on a blue and white plate, with another splendid fairy wren on a teacup

The National Environmental Standards released today do not deliver the strong nature protection the Albanese government promised with its reform of the national nature law. #auspol #nature www.acf.org.au/news/disappo...

‘Disappointing’ standards fall short of what’s needed to protect…

Yay! The day is finally here! Calendar presales for 2027 are open! (Sadly buying my calendar early does not make this year race ahead with the promise of a better next year, all I can offer is a wee bit of whimsy each month in 2027) Link in bio

Shoes the mock up cover of my 2027 calendar which shows fairy wrens snacking in fairy bread with a wren sitting on a pretty teacup in the background

I have never been shown one advantage of using AI to write or research. Every single example of someone saying how they find it helpful is accompanied with "But make sure you check it because you can't trust it". Enshittifying your writing and research should not be an aim.

My two current works in progress (ignoring the hundreds of half finished paintings all over the place) Definitely a bit of a theme going… Meet “Hello Possum!” and “Dame E(chi)dna”

Wish I could hug Bernie! #auspol

Bernie Sanders @berniesanders
Seventeen innocent people were murdered in a horrific antisemitic terrorist attack in Sydney. Together, we must do everything we can to combat the alarming rise of antisemitism around the world.
What was Prime Minister Netanyahu's response to this tragedy? He blamed the Australian prime minister for the attack, simply because he had moved to recognize a Palestinian state.
No, Mr. Netanyahu. Speaking out on behalf of the Palestinian people is not antisemitic. Opposing the disgraceful policies of your extremist government is not antisemitic. Condemning your genocidal war, which has killed more than 70,000 people - mostly women and children - is not antisemitic.
Demanding that your government stop bombing hospitals and starving children is not antisemitic.
As we mourn the tragic loss of life in Australia, we must continue to vigorously oppose antisemitism and all forms of racism and bigotry. At the same time, we must demand a world in which international law and human rights are respected by all governments, without exception.

It is a scorcher here today so where does my cat decide to sit? On me… I am melting… For once I wish she was rolling around in my wet paint
