My 4 year old's current bedtime story is the Sailor Moon manga series. Are there parts in the manga where I'll regret this? Maybe. Will I be super proud when she walks around telling people "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you"? Yes.

If you don't occasionally see a cat hair tumbleweed in your house, do you even have two long haired cats?

4 year old calls me from her bedroom at 7 in the morning: "Yes, honey, what's up?" "I just wanna tell you that I love you." "Aw, that's nice, I love you too. <3" "...you can go now. I want to sleep more by myself." "...alrighty then o_o"

Trying to paint the cat with my 4 year old watching... "That white you're using doesn't look like him." "...*breathes* Well, I'm working on it..." "I think I'll really like it when you'll be finished. I think it will look like him then." ...patience...

I told my friend that I've never been satisfied with a painting I've done of my cats, maybe I'll be happy with this one. This was her response.

It's not done, it's sitting drying on the bookshelf before I have more time...but he is just staring at it this morning, like he's waiting for me to do more.

What I'm assuming is a universal neuro divergent feeling...of trying to relax and flinching from the adrenaline response of a new email coming in that inevitably has something in it you need to address.

Very slowly trying to get back into oils. Starting a small painting of this guy. He was unnervingly interested…

‘Kiss’ by HIRO takes my breath away… In this painting, HIRO uses Nihonga pigments and pigment ink on hemp paper to create a soft, richly detailed piece that feels as delicate as a flower! Discover more of HIRO’s work at Gallery Sumire: gallerysumire.squarespace.com/jp/hiro

"When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naïve. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I've learned to survive through everything." That's aspirational posting. I need to re-watch Everything Everywhere All At Once again.

@justindonaldson.bsky.social appreciation post! He's an amazing artist, travelling the country with his family, painting as he goes! He updates his Instagram the most, but it's been definitely helping with the 'man I wish I could travel, look at that...' His account is super feel good vibes.

He’s managed to park his 24 lb butt to stop me from seeing anything or doing anything productive on the computer. His life is so hard, guys. We don’t even know. 🥺

There are few things as calming as drawing flowers across a sketchbook page without a plan

A sketchbook page of a random floral arrangement. The drawing is in blue ink and leans towards being somewhat abstract.

Looks like I'm actually forced to do non digital paintings if I want to do anything....my platform isn't working, it's super buggy, and I can't afford a new one. I mean, it's probably good for me to be just traditional for awhile, but like anyone, I hate it being not my choice.

I just painted with oil paints for the first time in about 5 years. It was really cool. It wasn't GOOD, but that doesn't matter. I could pick them up again, and I could trust my daughter wouldn't grab at them or be in trouble. She painted too, with child friendly paints. It was really cool.

Went on a cool train trip this weekend, and now kid is mighty sick, spouse is sick, and I have to be gone all day. Boo. Make me feel better and post train art you like, even though they're loud there's something about them that's surprisingly peaceful.

I oddly feel bad for people named "Al" (Albert, Alphonse, whatever) because every time I see it online I get the appropriate amount of rage for AI. It's not their fault. Unless Al is using AI.

Genuinely what is the point of recruiters? You fill out your paperwork w/qualifications and talk about the work you'd like to be doing/would be best suited for, and they come back like: "We have the perfect fit for you!!" And it's a fucking warehouse job or driving a fork lift.
