hugs

I know for sure that love saves me and that it is here to save us all.

When the work day is done, I enjoy catching up with friends or drawing my girl. Charcoal value studies refresh me between commissions and sharpen my painting skills. Smearing that black powder with my fingers onto fresh white paper is cathartic.

Less is more.

This commissioned painting was a Christmas gift from a kind, generous soul to her
boss. And you guessed it, the cat's name was inspired by the German modernist architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Mies loves playing with his human's crazy sock collection...and I have a feeling this Mies prefers the philosophy of 'more is more.'

Don't Mess with Texas Women

The presidency is supposed to age the president, not the public.

At long last I was able to download these photos! Ahhhh...the Austin Women's March.
What an incredible experience! My friends and I made buttons and t-shirts and as the sign above reads, we were 'Out of Our Feeds and Onto Our Feet.' Republicans, Independents and Democrats alike - exercising our 1st Amendment and standing firm
on human rights for all.

Marilyn Monroe (on The Paramount's balcony) and Hillary Clinton were there too.

The Goddess of Liberty atop the Texas State Capitol was smiling down at us - an estimated 50,000+! I believe the president has helped roust

a sleeping giant of a movement.
