🩷💚25% off everything in my shop 💚🩷 Despite snow in our forecast, there are already signs of spring here. I am not one to wish winter to "hurry up," as I prefer to savor each day of this life I have been given & fully appreciate the subtle changing of the seasons. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1784...

Covid-19 thrives in the absence of care and concern. If we fail to acknowledge the absolute value of human life, and refuse to do what is necessary to preserve essential well-being, we are opening the door to collective destruction. #COVID19

So far, Covid-19 has ended at least 27 million human lives. Will you allow yourself to be among the next million? Or will you avoid a life-threatening infection of Covid-19 by wearing a respirator mask? #COVID19

🖤🤍 25% off everything in my shop 🤍🖤 Starting and ending the day with a simple ritual of drinking coffee (morning) and tea (evening) is one of the ways I invite calmness and peace into my daily life. In Zen, everything is a practice, especially everyday moments. www.redbubble.com/i/mug/Egret-...

We are all interconnected (whether we like it or not). One vast ocean made of billions of drops of water. Our actions directly impact all living beings, even if not immediately evident. We need to take care of ourselves & each other so we can ALL thrive. An injury to one truly is an injury to all.

Sebastian wishes everyone a happy Valentine's Day. 💌❤️🦊

Today is a good day for drawing. 🫶✏️

Them: "Do you always wear a mask when you go out? Covid is everywhere. We just have to accept it." Me: "Yes, I always wear a mask. Yes, it is everywhere. Yes, it is vital to accept that it is now part of our world." "That is why I wear the mask." Them: 🫤

This made my day. 🥹 Artists LOVE to hear when their work is valued and appreciated, especially in these dark and uncertain times.

Oh, to be in a boat, setting sail on the high seas, like little Algernon. I hope this adventurous mouse brings a moment of whimsy to your day. If you would like to invite Algernon into your home, you can do so by visiting my shop (link to this piece is below!). www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1778...

Meet Haverscham J. Foxx, esq. A Very Posh Fox, indeed. (Name credit goes to my husband, who is the master at coming up with perfectly pompous names.)

Popping in with a PSA, as we are now into year 7 of living in a world with Covid-19... ...wearing a respirator mask in all situations of potential infection is extremely wise. Do it for yourself. For your loved ones. For your community. Covid makes everything worse. Don't add to the bad, friends.

You don't need to spend a lot of money or make a big production on Valentine's Day to express your love. Simple gestures shared by two people, not with the social media world, are so meaningful, especially nowadays. For example, make a cozy pancake brunch at home & just enjoy each other's company.

A silly sketch for our Saturday. 🩶🤍🩶🤍

🤍🖤❤️ Shop Sale 🤍🖤❤️ This is the first piece in what will be a series of 4, and it is now available in my shop. Winter, or "fuyu" in Japanese, has its own unique beauty, and I love the quietness that a fresh snowfall brings. 🤍 www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1780...

Finished this fun flamingo piece this morning. There is just something inherently cheerful about these birds, which is so needed on these cold, winter days. 🩷🦩💗🦩

Because my mind is not under the spell of denial and delusion, I am keenly aware that my own survival is at stake during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, but I am determined to stay as safe as I can, which is why I wear a respirator mask in all public spaces. #COVID19 #respirator

AI will ruthlessly destroy all semblance of human integrity. #AI

Every infection of Covid-19 is an injury to the collective well-being of the entire human community. #COVID19

Fenton has so much love to give...🩶

Today's WIP is the second piece in the "Cranes Through the Seasons" collection I'm working on this year. Just thought I'd share a little peek into the process for fun. 🩷

A study of bamboo, from me to you. 🩶 I hope it provides you with a moment of quiet.

February's blog post is about the need for art during times of darkness and despair. I am horrified and disgusted by everything in the news. I am aware that I am out of alignment with nearly everyone and everything. Connecting with others through sharing my art has been a light in the darkness.

Attending a protest aimed at protecting the community against violence and injustice while wearing an N95 (or better) respirator mask would lend greater moral credibility to the cause. I'm just saying....

The Epstein files merely confirm what has always been glaringly apparent. #Epstein

When the pandemic of Covid-19 was first declared in 2020, it was unmistakably clear that strong, uncompromising measures of caution and safety would be necessary for long-term survival, but instead of caution and safety, the human community has chosen negligence and denial. #COVID19

Here is my first entry for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators monthly "Draw This" art prompt challenge. The theme was "dream," and I could not think of a bigger, better dream than the one this little bunny has. #scbwidrawthis #scbwiillustrators #scbwi #kidlitart #worldpeace

An Officer and a Sausage

A simple snowscape I painted a little while back. I hope it brings a moment of calm and quiet to your day. 🤍

"Living with Covid" is a complete delusion. How can anyone "live with" an uncontrolled disease that has killed at least 27 million people? #COVID19

Some calming koi for your Wednesday. 💙🙏🏼 This meditative piece was recently added to my shop: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1776...

Nothing quite like a crisp afternoon walk in the dead of winter in the Pacific Northwest. 🌲💚

A trio of tulips, from me to you on this dreary Tuesday. In case you need a bit of cheering up. 🌷🌱🌷🌱🌷🌱

Wearing a respirator mask in all public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 provides safety for yourself and for those around you. Why would any rational person refuse to wear a respirator mask? Why would any rational person refuse to be safe? #COVID19 #respirator

Denying the necessity of enforcing safety measures to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 has opened the door to denying the necessity of enforcing any measures to preserve public health. #COVID19

A simple, sumi-e inspired tulip for a loved one's special day. (Not pictured: about 50 practice brush strokes. Simple does not mean easy.)🌷💌

America was founded in violence, and America will perish in violence. #America #violence

The careless masses who refuse to wear respirator masks in all public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 are leaving themselves open to repeated infections that inevitably result in irreparable harm. I am not one of the careless masses. #COVID19 #respirator
