@artdogsean.bsky.social neasy feeling" - Watercolor on paper (old painting). I love playing with the idea of big and small in composition. I tried to make the background look like a giant Mahi with the baitfish completely unaware of where they were. Mahi are one of the most colorful fish in the sea

It’s my Husband’s Birthday today. He lives in Portugal and I live in Florida so over WhatsApp I sang happy Birthday in Portuguese with his family and did a shot of Limoncello and they released balloons with people’s pics that couldn’t be there. I hope to be there soon. Happy Birthday Handsome

"Seeing myself in you" - Watercolor on paper....old painting of an image of a friend who was fly fishing for Albacore. I pointed out that his reflection is in the shine of the fish’s skin. This was a lesson in painting what you see and not what you think you see.

Pet portrait demonstration for the Anne McKee artist fund. Years ago and they are still raising money thru their auction which gives money to local artists for projects, art supplies. It is a good program. I worked with them for years . I was on the board. NEVER PUT ME ON ANY BOARD !!!

Sending a message could be a good idea and buying local from locally owned stores makes total sense to me.

So if Canada becomes a state in the US (Donnie wants it) how many electoral college votes will they get ? It will be a giant state ! Why stop there let’s make Mexico a state ? He didn’t bring that up. Why ? Oh it isn’t a white country. He is collecting “white” countries…I mean states. Crazy fuck !!!

We haven’t even bought Greenland yet, and we are “taking” Gaza ? Shouldn’t we finish up with Greenland first ? Shouldn’t we put tariffs on our allies ….I thought we were doing that and now we are waiting why ? Oh…they tariffed us back…..right. Clown country !

"Having a ball" - Watercolor pet portrait. Old painting I did many years ago. I learned something from this piece. The movement of water and color changes in the water. They are a reflection of what is going on above.

“In the mangrove “ - watercolor on paper…..there is no white paint in watercolor so you have to save the white of the paper. You carve the color around the white.

"Great Dame" - Old watercolor of a dog that walked by my studio in Vermont. I ran out and asked the owners if they could come in so I could paint their dog. She walked in and laid right down and modeled for me. The original sold to a husband and wife Vet team in California.

I have been this person my whole life. It isn’t intentional but I guess I can only focus on a small number of people at a time. I prefer solitude, quiet, and space to feel comfortable. It is hard to explain to people and harder for them to understand.

I always thought they should teach two languages early in school . I bet they wish they did now. Americans we just want people to speak English…..well guess what ?! Now you’re old and if I were you I would start studying! I suggest a language that is spoken in a country that will take you :)
