February 1st dawns bright and clear, Cailleach comes out to herd her deer More wood for her hearth she seeks To warm her home for six more weeks. I have 30 copies of this print available in my new shop on GoImagine! goimagine.com/drawingdownl...

A watercolor painting in hues of blue and grey. An old woman with long grey hair and blue skin stands facing the viewer with a stag by her side. She has a large halo like a snowflake around her head, with her hood drawn up, and she’s holding a twisted wooden staff. The stag has icicles in his antlers. The pair are surrounded by falling snowflakes.

Here is the rest of the poem that would not fit in the post:

February 1st dawns bright and clear,
Cailleach comes out to herd her deer
More wood for her hearth she seeks
To warm her home for six more weeks.

February 1st dawns stormy grey,
Cailleach sleeps the day away.
Her hearth glows warm with smoke curling,
She knows spring is coming early.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

This image is a watercolor painting. A solid black ox looking over a stone wall at you with soulful brown eyes. He has a dark pink nose and upturned horns. Behind him is a lush grassy field, a split rail fence, and forest. In the background to the left, at the end of the fence is the corner of an old stone building.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. This is my Mogget. I painted this memorial portrait for her after she passed away in 2021. Since then I’ve been painting both magical and memorial portraits for beloved familiars. Just one more service I offer. #witchsky #artsky

Watercolor painting. A fluffy orange tabby cat sits loaf-style in a red flower pot. She’s surrounded by potted plants and one lit candle. Above her hang a brass pentacle wind chime and a silver sun catcher. Trees, bushes, and rolling hills in the background.

This is Mogget, she was my baby and this is her memorial portrait.

Small #pieces of the night sky painted on a unicorn birch panel. This is Monoceros, the unicorn constellation! You can see it in February and March in my area, between Orion, Canis Major, and Canis Minor. The moon and constellation in this painting glow in the dark! 💖 #stars #blueskyartshow

A unicorn shaped painting hanging outside on a bright sunny day. The unicorn is painted black and dotted with stars. Connecting lines show constellations. There’s a full moon in place of the unicorn’s eye, and a comet streaking across the unicorn’s cheek. It had a glittery blue horn and a shimmery blue and purple mane pained in a graphic style. A large constellation on the unicorn’s neck is labeled “Monoceros” in silver letters. Above it is the small constellation Canis Minor, though it is not labeled.

If you were to shine a black light on this painting, the moon and the stars that make up Monoceros would glow. The artist used Fluorescent paint.

A white, brightly lit 10x10 pop up tent at night. The tent houses colorful displayed of artwork and prints. A big banner in the back of the tent says “Drawing Down Lore”

A table with a star-spangled black tablecloth and small paintings. Seven of the paintings are propped up on small easels. Four of them are unicorn portraits. From left to right there is a rainbow Pride unicorn, Swift Wind from She-Ra, Amalthea from the last unicorn, and the constellation Monoceros. In front of them, flat in the table is a large array of 28 2-inch square paintings and led tea-light candles.

A pair of paintings hanging in an outdoor display. The smaller painting on the left is a swirl of symbols: a pentacle, Druid sigil, and Norse Runes. The larger painting on the right depicts an underwater scene in which a kelpie horse with a visible red skeleton trots along the bottom of a lake with three fish companions.

This is a stained glass window I made back in 2010 of the Mari Llwyd. It’s made of nearly 300 #pieces of hand-cut glass. It’s about 4 ft high and 2 ft wide. It was part of a larger installation, but this is the only piece of the original work I have. I haven’t made glass in awhile. #blueskyartshow

A stained glass window featuring the Mari Llwyd with a black glass border. The Mari Llwyd is a horse skull, its jaws wide open in song. She has red glass for eyes. She’s bedecked in red and green glass ribbons and her cape is outlined in clear textured glass. The background is deep blue glass.
