The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

I’m filling in for my art teacher this month. This was the watercolor that I demonstrated. I was very impressed with the student response and their paintings. #watercolours,#watercolorpainting, #watercolor,#traditional art

Check out this Alcantarea bromeliad in my yard. After blooming, the plant dies but it does send up small grass like plants. This one took about six years to bloom. The flowers smell like cinnamon. #tropicalflowers #bromiliad

Finished this watercolor of Mrs. ZaraZota and her French teacher when we were in Chartres last year. We had a picnic in the park after going to the market. Took a picture to paint. I am painting more people in settings. #watercolor, #traditionalart, #newart.

Oh to be this carefree.

Was at Walgreens yesterday. The tech was wearing a Walgreens t-shirt supporting diversity. Way to go. But why did I think that this was brave? Left feeling a bit prouder.

Love taking pictures of Lilie sleeping.

Had my walk, had my dinner, I’m a happy puppy!

Check out these two different bromeliad flowers. 🏝️

Sunday morning snooze.

Went to an outdoor concert last night in Sarasota at the ball park. They sang the National Anthem. When it got to the part of ‘ ore the land of the free and the home of the brave’, I choked up. I don’t know if that is true anymore.

My newest watercolor called ‘For the Birds’. When we were in St. Martin, we went to a parrot sanctuary and these two landed on my shoulder. One on my hat, so I had to add the other parrots to round out the scene. My first, real portrait and it’s a selfie. #watercolor, #art, #portrait,

Bromeliad flowers always remind me of little birds at feeding time.🌴

This orchid smells like coconut. Very strong fragrence. 🌴

Love this position.

Sarasota representing again in protest to the current administration’s policies.

Beautiful orchid in bloom🌴

Sarasota representing today. Both sides of Bayfront Dr. So many people and such support from the drivers. What impressed me was the age of the people there. Not their first rodeo.

Trump just insulted the entire US Army — and they’re NOT happy about it! youtu.be/fPqAYWL_VWU?...

Painted this polar bear in watercolor class. Seems we paint a lot of animals. Mine tend to be colorful portraits rather than a realistic representation. #watercolor, #art

Cactus rose. A true cactus with thorns and leaves. Grows into a shrub about 3 x 3 ft. Blooms throughout the year. 🌴

🌴Beautiful dendrobium in bloom. Pity that the flowers don’t last long, but it is worth the wait.

Look at these colors. Unreal!

Jewel orchid in bloom. One of my favorite orchids.

He disrespected the office said the felon in the office.

I still take a watercolor class every Thursday. Just realized all the animal pictures I’ve painted.

Look at the colors from this bromeliad.

Nothing like a big old lavender cattleya orchid in bloom. Great fragrance.

Finishing up this watercolor of hellebores. I am keeping the background loose and out of focus.

Still living just 5 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.

New watercolor of palms.

In watercolor class this week, our reference included a figure. Some techniques I like about this, the use of red, a difficult watercolor pigment, the background glow, and the use of negative painting.
