The Cozy Bookshelf is finally done! I'm so happy with how this came out. Process video and more information on the "Book Lovers Trophy Shelf" project coming soon! Watercolor, gouache, and ink on 11" x 14" cotton watercolor paper.

A large watercolor painting of a bookshelf laden with books and a scattering of decorative plants, yarn basket, typewriter, cages, and globe. The painting is primarily funny in soft shades of brown, parchment yellow, pale maroon, and light olive green with pops of blue, green and purple in the decor. The painting itself is on a black desk and surrounded by pencils, paint brushes, and watercolor pallets

I had some thoughts about Sydney Sweeney and her recent commercial. This entire debacle has made me see and hear the powerful voices of women in sport. But make me question why we take Sweeney seriously at all. My latest for CBC Sports www.cbc.ca/sports/opini...

cbc.ca

OPINION | Sydney Sweeney has nothing to do with sports. So what is it about her ad that is making us so mad? | CBC Sports

If we start to consider Sydney Sweeney a notable personality in sports then we have really lost the plot.

An MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”
