Put out a new palette #acrylicpainting finally, not so motivated just recently. Made this mushroom , potato,+French onion soup, sweet paprika, turmeric, Italian herbs. Chickpeas, & barley round out the flavour profile 🫠 Then i added sound dim sum, shit i hope i haven't oversalted the lot 😐

Balloon spectacular! And it's pretty damn special it is, so cool. Over Canberra this morning 🌅, counted 20+, lost count. I saw a few landed, but a few- where the heck do all the rest go??? Just dissapear into a waiting truck in an instant? Ditch in the pine forest out of view? So wierd. 👍

Alex Johnson, new record holder for NRLs greatest try scorer, bloody magic, haven't seen a crowd invasion like that since the 80's, konda miss it. And Wayne Bennett, supercoach, ne'er far from footy magic himself. Great stuff. And the best part, our PM Albo, was SOUNDLY AND LOUDLY BOOED 🥹

Some pics from the #Canberra #balloons #canberraballoonspectacular yesterday, only 2 up yesterday but terrific light for pics ! 🤓 Reckon theres a couple paintable scenes in there. I need to get busy, up with the birds and get the pics i need. Not going to capture much from my bed, asleep.

Went for the first walk in ages yesterday evening, damn foot gas been playing up with a pressure callous or something. Rare sight here, white ibis out molonglo way, see straw necks flying over occasionally. And a very shiny black wasp 🫠Have to look that one up, feeding on those flowers by the looks

They complain about it , because any government spending that doesnt subsidise their companies or absolve them of any taxation liability hurts their fragile god complex's. Exhibit a) Gina that Rinehart, who is currently trying to curry favour with an international crime cabal, and is a traitor.

I don't like Christopher Pyne.

Recently found an artist i love is aussie, i sorta remember some punch down crap about some fringe haired rapper or something who was frankly roasted mostly in the pop media, way back in the day. Yeah sure, not exactly in the loop, but damn i like her voice. Well, i love her work and voice. Sia.

#australianopen This is so good, as much as i think the djoka is a douche, he is the greatest tennis player of all time, no doubt. Amazing to watch, love it! Go Alcaraz!!!

Yeah, it sure would be nice if our government would comment on how its going to deal with the new Nazi America. Appreciated,they cant "say the words", but some actual pushback against the LNP openly supporting, nay, SPRUIKING tmurrpff crime cartel positions as matter of policy, would be kinda nice,

Arborateum today 😀 #canberra #arborateum #scenic

Just got this pic reminder from 4 years ago , a workup of a surrealist peice i did 🤪

Some pics from shepherds lookout, holt act. #canberra #shepherdslookout

#australia #canberra #burbs #kangaroos Pic from a few years ago, Chifley Canberra 😋🫠

#canberra The weather here has been so rubbish, nearly blew my beanie off yesterday 😑 Makes what to wear a crapshoot, but Im not looking forward to the heat exactly either. These monster trees in civic would be just the ticket for a backyard, I've got a balcony garden, 🏡,not exactly homesteading🫠

Been taking an extended ADHD break from painting, as in, well just haven't. Busy 🫠bit of inspiration, some of the great pics ive taken over a few years, so cool to just be able to do that with a phone so easily. Remember the 90's? When the first digital cameras were shit?

Scored some free jade plants, awesome!! Only thing I've been able to grow reliably is another crsssula ive got. And scored some dirt cheap stencil brushes, never used them. But I'm hoping to solve an issue with dabbing coverage . All very technical and painty you know. 🤨 #paintingtechnique

www.threads.com/@shpbixx/pos... Love this work, supposedly by b Banksy. Noice

Geezuz, dicky knee's back, and hes grown a hand! On the bloomin leugue coverage no less. Well, there ya go 😜 #dickyknee #nrl #jonathanthurstonisadag

Picked up these albums today, sweeeet. Best of sabbath, rip Ozzie, and The black Keys el camino, which ive heard good things about; noice. #classicalbums #ozzie #blackkeys Also included, some pics of the light reflecting like demonic eyes off the cover, just because it's so damn appropriate.🤘

On the easels, block in of #Canberracroquetclub , basically finished #sunrise @ #tednoffsparkcooms , and a couple others, update stuff later anyway 😜 and me in front of an epically seen better days tree. Why not just remove it, it will never look any good after that can it? #treesurgery

Absolute sunrise craziness, ripper this morning, had it all. Even better, the mist diffused the light so well i got foreground colour and extended light to take pics.

Got some magic sunrise shots this morning 🌄 so good. Just on soec to, just opening a blind because its that time of day, voila, our the door with my phone 🤳 sweet 😊 now that's a good start 🙂

Some tips I’ve learned painting colorful skies …

Up at 3.30am, been a regular thing for a while now. No idea how that happened, but it actually works ok for me! Decaf, sit in my comfy chair, ponder stuff, consider going back to bed, to up my passion meds, which admittedly may be why I'm getting up mostly. Still plenty of rest of seems.

On ICE's first reported death/murder/manslaughter, if true. 3.31am Australian est time : he's not dead yet.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not so sure native animal squeaky dog toys, really send the right message. Yet another ripper sunrise this morning, so good. Current works in my studio, moving along, slowly but surely. 🫠 feeling good 👍#acrylicpainting #artstudio #sunrise #Brindabellas

Got out this morning for a recon trip tuggeranong, and a neat pic from my window 🫠 sweet

Came across these. Silicon oven mittens, absolutely fantastic! Not for the oven so much, but for my left hand, which has a degree of #lymphoedema .i was just putting a damn xl glass sandwich bag over it, aaaaand let me tell you, that sucks and is a rubbish solution. This, will work a treat 🫠@Coles

So i popped by mad dog scooters Fyshwick, only to discover the guy often disappears for some time. Triffic. maddogscooters.com.au

Today's flag report, yup still there. Just filthy weather early this morning, no way is very the pics I was after, which is fine, want feeling up to it anyway 🫠 So the flag pole itself is lopsided, due to me, but I'm intrigued how large sections, structural elements , vanish before my eyes 👇

Sweet, what a game, Maroons first conversion. Intense, and only going to get more intense by the looks. Latrelle Mitchell has looked ominous already I think.

On an aspect of how authoritarianist, sadistic, fascist theocracy used its own cruelty and hate to both help install, and perpetuate itself. Many don't join the dots, or understand what this blithe denial of both reality, and responsibilty is in aid of, as it seems counter productive at a glance.

Got out getting some pictures this morning, very foggy. Very. Looking toward civic, and some of old parliament house, was hoping for a dramatic pic of mt Ainslie appearing through the mist, but not quite.

Finished works ,2019 ish to now, hopefully, maybe in one place. And, I'll be adding my new paintings here as I go along because it's neat, and I can. Almost all my stuff is for sale, make an offer🙂 locally anyway, prints I'm willing on.

Looking at this #electricscooter , #zero10x tomorrow, throwing my iPad mini into the deal saves me some cash if it's all that. And it will be, can't see how it won't, it's basically new, so it will be very obvious if not to begin with. Exciting! Any #performancescooter riders around who can advise?

I think I might have just chosen to potentially purchase an electric scooter. Whoah. Anyone have such a fun conveyance, #electricscooter #zero10x, now would be a fine time to chime in with any tips 😊😳

Sweet, this look back thingy is actually coming in handy, and useful. And not redundant, like my use of those two words that essentially mean the same thing 😂 Damn that can't be right, 2024- well shit I guess it is. The bridge repairs at Batemans bridge to... That little joint across the bay.

The painting I sold looks fantastic in the light of that area 🥹 came across a matching jug-mug to one I picked up over a year ago now I think, and it's still the only vessel I can use that won't sort of drip with the post op issues I have eating, a mad overbite essentially. Now,I have two! Perfect 😃

It's a lifestyle. Not a condiment.

Got out for a very early morning roll on my bike, and got I reckon the best sunrise Ive seen since see I've been here, #Coombs #weston #Canberra #Australia so stoked with that. 🙂 A couple looking to black mountain from top of Weston hill. Heaps of roos as always, as evidenced by this footpath. 🫠Eh.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William... Well I was gonna say, the Sherman squeaking past silently is fantastic (haven't listened tho) of its the troll post to come out of today. You know who general Sherman was right.

Trying to simulate my painting fingers with a classic Bob Ross inspired Alpine scene 🫠🤣 its a struggle, kinda weird but good zone at the moment. Busy as, getting nowhere, but that's just my negative perception. Charging through stuff realistically, and having a ball doing so, for now. #adhd , #ptsd

My current views on tmrupghfff's (neocons) effort to enslave humanity. I'm insufferably accurate with this kind of stuff. Read some books. Non fiction ones. Study psychology. Sociology. Political science. They're just humanities, right, don't need to know right, but it's all a quick read.

Some pics from my #photography journey this morning , fairly epic. Left at 7am, didn't get home till bout 1pm stuffing about. Plenty more on my camera, good luck ( to me ) getting them from that "device" to usable 🙄 #parliamenthouse #australianflag #australianparliament #canberra #australiana

Freezing.hrlere in #canberra here today, damn! How cold? This cold! Flag was horizontal, it could be worse out there but yeah. #coombs is a wood duck grazing suburb 😋

Ok, this #slowcooker dish, goat cutlets, stock, split pea &red lentil soup mix+barley, cauliflower, zucchini, brown onion soup mix, Italian herbs, turmeric, loads of sweet paprika, dried fried garlic bits. 🍲😀And Ive no idea what it tastes like, I'll have to report back tomorrow after Ive blended😋

Some pics of the #mural on the pedestrian underpass at Commonwealth Avenue & #AlbertHall #canberra . Substantial,goes the length of the tunnel ! And I scored a 150x80 IKEA table, free, awesome 😎 out the side of the building, sturdy, as new basically, sweet. New painting table, so good. #frugal .

This sounds like it would be well worth having a go at. See what I did there? Go at? Goat? Cheese? Nevermind, that sucked, this won't!
