My classic rock-loving kid understood the assignment. Tweens against kings! #NoKings #DC Friendship Heights

It's hard to focus on art when our democracy is crumbling, but my handle isn't "watercolor" for nothing. If this artichoke was sentient, it would be the most pro-democracy artichoke ever encountered. #art #artist #watercolor #painting #BotanicalArt #artichoke

Water painting of an artichoke plant. The leaves are green, tipped with pink. There is a long stem with one leaf hanging off.

First #artwork of the new year! A little #ink and #watercolor #illustration inspired by my love of a mildly #spooky vibe (and of course my love of #cats). #art #artist #painting #cat

Ink and watercolor illustration of a Victorian-style parlor with a fireplace, side table with a rose in a vase, and a small tree in a planter. A cat sits looking out of a glass door at a graveyard in the distance, lit by a full moon.

Cleaned up and reset my little studio space today (shared with my home office). Looking forward to making some art during the holidays. No idea what I'm going to paint yet! #art #painting #artist #ArtStudio #watercolor

A glass drafting table with watercolor brushes, palette, and art supplies on top. Unframed watercolors hang on the wall above the table.

Kid2 and I had the opportunity to attend the White House holiday tour last night. It was a gorgeous and magical experience. My org isn't going to be given tickets when there's a republican in the White House so it was a nice chance to get in while we still could. #WhiteHouse #holidays #christmas #DC

This is important! Pay attention and don't let them sweep this under the rug.

My mental block about calling myself "middle aged" continues. Was talking to my child and I referred to myself as a "medium adult." It's probably time to come to terms with this.

In our house, the day after #Thanksgiving isn't #BlackFriday (support your local small businesses!), it's #TurkeyStock Friday! 16 qt stockpot, remains of a 15 lb turkey, some veggies. At the end of the day it's gonna be amazing.

Thanksgiving remember the cranberry sauce, but forget the Marijuana.
Terry was convinced to take a "toke" of a joint with his friend "just to relax".
Immediately after, Terry killed his friend who had given him the marijuana in a murderous craze.
Not so safe, is it?
Marijuana.
Not Even Once.

Absolute favorite photo of our sweet rescue kitty Max. She's a weird goofball and has brought happiness to our family for the past 4 years. #cat #CatsOfBluesky

At my work (political advocacy org) we spent months working to elect Harris & a slate of progressive Dems. The stress of those months inversely correlated with my art output (zero new pieces) so I'm gonna post some of my old pieces until I feel inspired. #art #watercolor and #ink on hot press paper.

Watercolor and ink painting of a skull sitting on a stack of books on a table. A rose and candlestick sit next to it.
