Timeline cleanse. This is Niall and he is loving the autumn 🍁 cool and the beautiful smells. Take time and just smell the forest. That's all. #autumn #fall #roughcollie

This is Holly. She won't fall sleep until she's been given her stuffed cow. 13/10 sweet dreams Holly (TT: hollythebluestaffy__)

The Ontario facility, which bottles Crown Royal products, closes in Feb in a move to improve its North American supply chain. Bottling for the U.S. market moves stateside. When Canada is being attacked, you don’t move your plant to the US and leave a whole Canadian town unemployed. #cdnpoli

The emergence of Greblix, who is stalk-eyed with excitement about his first day of school (despite lacking the shoulders for a backpack):

The emergence of Leonard, whose toes and tail don't like to get wet:

This is a small acrylic painting on gesso board. These three VW bugs were on the side of the road not far from where I live for years, just rusting away. Then one day they were all gone. I hope someone rebuilt them and they are having a happy second life. Don't we all deserve that? Lol.

A loser senator from Maine wrote to Canadian representatives asking them to commit treason, break up our country and join the United States of Trump. I had to school him in basic facts about Canadian values and our readiness to defend our nation from fascists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bpt...

The emergence of Ida, who knows from rugged experience that nothing gets paved for good.

The emergence of Nadine and her very large but also very small book club:

Sound on 😽🤍

It's Canada's birthday today. July 1st. Happy birthday to the kindest county on Earth.

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day, fellow babies! 🇨🇦 I've always loved Canada Day, but this year I feel truly blessed to be able to celebrate the beauty, strength, diversity & spirit of our beautiful country, from coast to coast to coast. Have a great one, eh? #truenorthstrongandfree #elbowsallthewayup #Never51st

This is Niall, he was at the spa today so he smells as sweet as the flowers. #ScottishCollie #RoughCollie #Forgetmenotflowers

So Danielle has finally emerged from Mar-a-Lago with her MAGA instructions - destroy Canada. Albertans are better than this. Canada is better than this. Mark Carney should give no ground. Not to her. Not to Kevin O'Leary. Not to Trump. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands. Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

Joe Biden has congratulated Mark Carney. #cdnpoli #elbowsup

A watercolour of the only daffodils I could find at the store this spring. I looked everywhere for them in every store and no one could get them. I wonder why? So I painted them into my sketchbook. #art #watercolour

This is a watercolour I just completed. It is from a walk I go on with my dog Niall. Cooking Lake Natural Area. A typical winter scene of cattails from last summer. #Watercolour

The RCMP announced that Russia has launched a massive disinformation campaign against Mark Carney. I wonder why the Russians would rather have PP as PM? Anything scandalous on line gets blocked immediately & if msm mentions it maybe it’s true. I know all I need to know about Canadian party leaders

That’s what we did in just nine days. Let’s keep building, together.

Elbows up, Canada.

We're going to have free interprovincial trade by Canada Day!

I fucking love that Jim Carrey hates Donald Trump as much as we do. 🤣

Ran into a great Canadian at the rink the other day.

I think this is the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Okay friends this is a fun challenge. Canada's right are rallying around Elon Musk to say much they love him. They are freaked out that my petition is about to be become most signed petition in Canadian history. Send a message to Elon, please sign my petition. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I will post a few images to get the ball rolling on here. Whilst I am not a nature artist, during Lochdown I ditched the landscapes for a while and tried out some collagraph seabirds…they have since become a thing! #printmaking #seabirds #redshanks #scotland

First post on here and not sure what to expect. How do I connect to all those who follow me on FB and Insta? How do I connect with printmakers who may have eluded me thus far? I guess I press send and see what happens? #printmaking #collagraph #art #birds

A Prattling of Puffins Collagraph print made using a mountboard base, sellotape, textured wallpaper and masking tape. Sometimes keeping it simple works? Anyone else go silly over puffins? #collagraph #printmaking #seabirds #puffins

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? Canadians would do it again in a heartbeat. No questions asked. Because that’s who we are.

I don't know how to get this to sink in but unless there are truly massive protests in the US, the world is heading for WW3. Your 1000 person rally is not enough. You are not doing enough. It is up to you. We can't help. The whole planet rests on your shoulders. You need to step up.

Blooming Sunflowers, by #Ukrainian artist, Boris Eremin 🌻 #UkrainianArt #Art

This is a large watercolour called, Not Ready Yet. The little bird is just checking it out. I am also posting this sunflower 🌻 in support of Ukraine. 🇨🇦 #Sunflower #Watercolour #ArtYear #Ukraine

These are all available to purchase if you're in Canada #retrohobby #embroidery #threadpainting

Class, courage, and compassion. A great combination.

I made these last night, inspired by President Zelenskyy’s courage in the face of a bully. They’ll be for sale at the Night of Artists Art Walk (March 14-16) in #yeg, and all proceeds will go to Ukrainian relief efforts. It’s not much, but it’s something. #artheals #Ukraine

This one might be my favorite of the Goldfinch series, showing my #TBR and a bloom off my small magnolia tree. This collection is inspired by quiet mornings in my garden—watching birds flit among the flowers as I sip my tea and read. #booklovers #artcollector #maximalistinteriors
