From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

It’s International dog day and tongue out Tuesday. It’s a two for one with Yoshi.

Good morning, The last of my Wild Horses of America series are currently marked 50% off. Gotta make some wall space! Check out my website and let me know if something is of interest. I can get a shipping estimate prior to purchase using your zip code. Thanks! sandraolsonart.com

Just a quick note to let you know that my commissions are now open!! It’s not too early to think about a gift of a pet portrait for yourself or someone else for the holidays! I’ve included a few portraits I’ve done below. Details are on my website: sandraolsonart.com Thanks!

It’s been about a billion degrees and so humid that I swear I live in The tropics not New England. Thought I would post one of the few snow paintings I painted so I could cool my brain off a little. Love our backyard critters

@repmcgovern.bsky.social @markey.senate.gov I received this from Social Security this morning. Very surprised, is it real, is any of it true?? I say sarcastically to the creators of this disastrous bill…does this mean I might hold off eviction while i figure out about losing my Medicare?

I had a moment last night where I was overwhelmed with the thought that the bad guys are winning. Tough one for someone like me who grew up truly believing that good triumphs over evil. I thought I would take a minute for cute. We have lots of rabbits in the back, here’s two I painted.

#ObamaDay ....thank you, Joe.

Happy Barack Obama Appreciation Day!

Happy Obama Day everyone!

A number of years ago I was able to get permission from an incredible photographer in the Czech Republic to paint some of their white deers. They seemed so magical to me. I think it’s time to paint some more of them. Thanks!

Meant to post this yesterday but got sidetracked. Yesterday was three years since Yoshi’s “gotcha day”. Here are a couple photos of her pouring on the charm with my husband at the shelter.

I ran across a post by an artist who said one of the most important things is to keep posting your work. Doesn’t have to be new work. With that in mind (since I haven’t picked up a brush in months) here is a photo of a tiger painting I did several years ago as a gift for my sister in law.

I know, I know, I’m a day late for tongue out Tuesday but here’s a cute picture of Yoshi. Just because she’s cute.

In a world of the courageous and the cowardly, be like 60 Minutes, not the bragging big law firms that folded before any fight. Courage after the fact is cowardice trying to sleep at night. In all things, be courageous. Our neighbors deserve nothing less.

I agree 💥

Retweet this if Cory Booker is making you cry with pride and hope right now.

This is one of my favorite paintings. At 11x14 it’s not huge but still a favorite. I really enjoy painting sheep. So much color in their thick coats.

Gift link to a @washingtonpost article in 2020 I wrote about police/law enforcement hiding their names & faces from the public they serve. Seems applicable now. With few exceptions, cops must not be anonymous. We shouldn’t be so afraid of our neighbors t.co/FuCi3YYZHJ

Hi all, I’ve let myself get far too anxious to paint (something to do with an orange felon and his posse breaking everything in sight) so I am posting a painting I did awhile ago of a mare and foal from Arizona. Photo inspiration with permission from photographer Fran Yates. Thanks!

Several years ago I took a break from pet portraits to paint the wild horses of Camargue in southern France. I may try to fit in another painting of them this year, they were fun to paint. Photographic inspiration with permission of Wendy Hodgkins Corniquet.

This is one of my favorite paintings from a series I did of America’s wild horses. This is one of Arizona’s horses running wild and free. Based on a photograph by an amazing Arizona photographer, Gary Odell. This is one of the few still available from the series.

The look we get when she’s completely out of the anesthesia and remembers she had to be left at the vets for the day yesterday because she absolutely refuses to cooperate with the vet for an exam and bloodwork. To be clear, never bitey, never mad but an impossible 100 lb. tank of a wiggleworm.

Kamala Harris: You inspired us in 2024. If Vice President Harris inspired YOU like she inspired 74,749,891 Americans, it's worth a solid "all the way re-post!"

Towards the end of every year I post my paintings for the year. Not a very productive year for me. I realized I let the orange numbskull and his buddies suck the life out of my energy. In 2025 I’m going to better focus my time and energy, or at least give it my best shot!

Still not as active here as I should be but I wanted to pop in to wish everyone the happiest of holiday seasons and a merry Christmas. Yoshi, our Bernese Mountain dog hasn’t gown out of “monster puppy” and probably never will so we have a small tabletop tree now. That’s okay with us!

Just joined this site to get away from the toxicity of other one. Still in recovery mode from being devastated by the election. I was naive enough to believe we would choose progress and equality over hatred and anger. In the meantime I’ll keep painting and posting pets and animals.
