Grocery prices are bananas & we're all feeling it. (I stopped buying my once-cheap canister of generic ground coffee. Painful.) I'm working on Oct.'s blog post; a recipe featuring the humble chickpea. Cheap, healthy, vegan. And yummy. In the meantime: angelamariemorton.blogspot.com/p/series-cap...

Morning sketches. 🩶🤍

🍂 25% off sale in the shop 🍂 Thank you SO MUCH for your purchases this month. This small indie artist gets a thrill every time she sees a sale notification come through. 🥰 I had a bridge in a local park in mind when I did this this watercolor piece. Being in nature is so peaceful and restorative.

I found Eden. And it's within walking distance from my home.

Sketchbook scene for today. 🩶🤍 So many colors to choose from...🎨

🍂There's a 25% off sale happening in my shop🍂 Our triumphant little mouse has made his selection and is heading home from the pumpkin patch. This cozy scene is available on all sorts of delightful items in my shop, so pop over for a browse, all you lovers of fall. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1742...

The harsh truth of Covid-19 can be clearly seen in repeated infections, mass illness, and excess mortality, but most people irrationally refuse to acknowledge that truth. #COVID19

I am so tired of this ongoing pandemic, folks. I am even more tired of the willful denial of it by the vast majority of people. I am tired. But I am awake. And my resolve is unwavering.

Most people fail to understand that their bodies are being irreparably damaged by repeated infections of Covid-19. Most people fail to comprehend that the human community cannot survive under perpetual conditions of unrestrained contagion, mass illness, and excess mortality. #COVID19

Wednesday warmup. 🖤🤍

The sheep. It is finished. I hope this fluffy floof brightens your day. 🩶🤍

Yaaaaass...

🍂 All I am saying is that there is a flash sale going on in my shop right now....🍂

If you're lucky enough to find a life partner who not only SAYS they want you to be safe & healthy, but ENSURES that you stay that way, give them extra hugs & loves today. My husband, @mcollinsmorton.bsky.social, does this every day for me. And I do it for him. We don't "have" to. We WANT to. 💕

A little moment of Zen for our Tuesday.🖤🍵 (This piece will be in my shop AngelaMarieArt.redbubble.com later this month. 😘)

We will never return to things as they were before Covid-19 took hold. That world is gone, and can never be restored. By foolishly allowing Covid-19 to spread without control, we have burned our bridges. #COVID19

I'm saving the beret and other finishing touches for tomorrow. Best for last. 🤍🩶🖤

🍂To welcome in autumn, there is a flash sale happening in my shop!🍂 For all you fall fans out there, I've linked right to the section that has all the cozy vibes of the season. It's full of earth-toned leaves & cute characters in scarves & sweaters. 😘🍁🧡🤎 www.redbubble.com/people/angel...

The people who would call me a "sheep" for continuing to wear a mask during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, are the same ones who are all now falling over each other to worship at the altar of Saint Charlie of Kirk. 🤷‍♀️

Most people are not wearing respirator masks in public spaces. Essential safety measures are absent in medical settings. Retail businesses are open and busy. Schools are filled with students. Air travel is constant. Is it any wonder that Covid-19 is completely out of control? #COVID19

A new piece, inspired by the lantern festivals of China and Japan. I hope it brings a moment of quiet peace to your day. 😌 This small, indie artist is so grateful for all of your support. Thank you. 🙏🏼 Wishing all a calm, restorative weekend. 🫶 Link to this piece: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1738...

Timeline cleanse. 🩶🤍

Happy Friday, everyone! In my world, we would all look out for and protect each other. We wouldn't need to be asked, persuaded, begged, or forced. Common sense, empathy, and consideration would be the norm. I know. But a girl can dream. ❤️😷😘🎨☮️

I refuse to surrender to the irreparable harm of Covid-19. I refuse to submit to current policies of mass infection. I refuse to enable negligence and denial. I wear a respirator mask whenever I am in any public space. #COVID19 #respirator

End of day sketch, from me to you. 🩶🤍

Fall vibes over here on the easel today. 🎨🎃🍂🍁

Want to show your opposition to <waves hands at all the things>? Wear a respirator mask in any situation of potential contagion of SARS-coV-2. Do it for yourself. Do it for others. Do it to stick it - in a nonviolent way - to those who mock everything that is good in the world. We can do better.

In a world in which genocide is allowed and even supported, murder and hate speech are celebrated while speaking out against violence and advocating for peace, equality and dignity for all is "wrong," I am as far out on the fringes as ever, totally out of sync with most of my species. Anyone else?

Popping in with a PSA: It's a dumpster fire out there. Let's all do our part to not add to it: Empathy is a benefit for all living things. Kindness begets kindness. If violence worked, we would be living in a better world now. Nonviolence is more sustainable long-term. Don't forget your mask.

I call it "Little Muffin Selects his Pumpkin." 🙃🩶🤍🎃

Happy Wednesday! In anticipation of autumn's impending arrival, I decided to share an in progress pic of one of the fall-themed illustrations from the picture book I'm working on. This month's blog is all about the journey thus far. (It ain't over yet!) angelamariemorton.blogspot.com/2025/09/blue...

Poems on the painting of cranes. Painting by Tawaraya Sotatsu (1570-1643), calligraphy by Hon'ami Koetsu (1558-1637). Japan

Just a mouse riding on his crane. Nothing to see here.

A PSA from your friendly neighborhood artist: You can wear a respirator mask to avoid catching covid for ANY reason. We are ALL in the "at risk" category. Some are more vulnerable than others & everyone benefits from wearing respirator masks. We all deserve to stay healthy & live with dignity. 🫶😷

Is that you, Fall?

Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto. #ToriiTuesday #Shinto

Oooooo, you know what today is? Today is a GREAT day to wear a respirator mask while in public, to avoid getting and spreading covid.

As things stand now, it is unmistakably clear that our corrupt leaders have no intention of trying to save us from the life-threatening harm of uncontrolled Covid-19. Therefore, if we value our own well-being, we must shoulder the ongoing burden of trying to save ourselves. #COVID19

Ok, vegan, whole wheat, oatmeal, coconut muffins, you have won my heart. 🥥👩‍🍳

✨️Final day of the 40% off sale in my shop✨️ Unlike my usual minimal pieces, I opted to go bold with this one, taking inspiration from the deep reds & golds often associated with Chinese art. If you enjoy my art, I invite you to share this post, browse my shop & bring a little art into your home! 🫶😘

And people make fun of me for how I look wearing a mask to avoid catching covid....

Please, please pitch in or share. Thank you, friends. ❤️ #MutualAid Ko-Fi takes PayPal and credit cards: ko-fi.com/kimatstopgenai

I believe that causing harm to people is wrong, as well as detrimental on a societal level. One of the ways I put my belief in the principle of nonviolence into practice is by wearing a respirator mask in all situations of potential SARS-coV-2 contagion. If I don't get it, I don't spread it. 🫶

WTF is right.

Not. Good. Enough. Not even close.

✨️Up to 40% off everything in my shop✨️ Cranes are so inspiring & inherently uplifting to me. With everything in the media, I thought we could all do with a bit of a lift, if only for a moment. Call me old-fashioned, but I still believe truth, love & peace should be humanity's guiding principles. ❤️

I'll start substitute teaching soon. Waiting for my background check to go through. I have until September 20 to pay rent owed, which is $2,300. I miss working at the IRS, but I welcome a new chapter. Thank you for any help! spot.fund/qsrm8f8sc
