lindawandtart.bsky.social ‪ Painting creates space for me, a place for exploring and being curious and honest and it also functions as a refuge from the insanity outside. Painting always has been and always will be therapeutic. It's grounding & meditative. This painting is called "Non-Compliance"

I forgot to post my Halloween projects this year! Enoch from #overthegardenwall sculpture & a Bestile Owl reproduction circa 1960. 🧡 It's my favorite holiday. Hope yours was fun.

I have no art to share or protest signs either, while I'm home recovering from a surgery. So here's a photo of the cat keeping an eye on the neighborhood. I'm fending off a little pity party, but look how cute this critter is.

Feeling like nothing you do matters lets them do whatever the hell they want. And what they want is for you to feel like nothing you do matters.

I need to express how angry I am that today TX GOP had a hearing about who uses what bathroom while flood victims suffer and another gerrymandering effort seeks to oppress the vote of Texans who value human rights. Here's a painting I'm just getting started on for visual. More in comments.

Cloud Tree tonight 7-10pm. Come by & snag this curly fry painting, it's going for less than my usual retail. I'm also about to stop using venmo & PayPal completely. I think we should bring back paper checks to a degree, y'all. Let's not fund these fascists. What's your Spotify alternative?

Opening reception for "Out of Body" was an absolutely fantastic experience. I met so many new artists who's work I love and we got to really talk about our work. It was a dream. Now I must crawl back into my introvert hole & sit in silence with a cat on my lap.

I hope more folks are on board for a perma boycott of Amazon, Walmart & Target at this point, but I get that's the only option for some folks. They made it that way. They crushed small business & gutted local economies. This is the test run to see what we can do together.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Nepenthes, 24 x 30" Oil on Panel. Every hair on this moth was painted with a #2 round brush. It's the painting that actually started to wear me out. 😆 Worth it.

What's going on is that the 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy are expiring this year. Those cuts will need to be renewed, and they are looking to now add to them - AOC reports that amount comes to 4 trillion dollars. So that's 4 trillion dollars from the govt budget that they need to find from somewhere

Today I'm sharing my painting "Smoke Screen" from 2016. 30 x 48", oil on canvas. The screen is down now, in a lot of ways, but the confusion and panic is to keep us unable to organize. Don't count on things being blocked. Clearly we need to resist in any way we can. Be hopeful, act hopefully.

A thought; Can we use this horrid time in history to create something that works *for* us instead of this inevitable outcome of the road we have been on? A handful of people hoarde all the profit. Can we focus on local economies & communities? The voter suppression was real. There are a lot of us.

"Leon" my bee buddy, from 2015. 8 x 8" oil on panel. I made a total of 14 single bee panels before expanding into larger compositions. The bee paintings are a result of my 2014 painting "Instinct vs Intellect" I didn't know I'd keep painting bees & still am. 😍
