Introducing my main original story: Last of the Living! Itβs a post-apocalyptic story where humanity has gone extinct. Itβs up to a group of robots to survive the Surface long enough to bring them back. Here is Gaizka, the savior of humanity.

Today's progress. Still a long way to go, but I think it is getting out of the "ugly" phase.

7 years ago, I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in-situ. Breast cancer.I was in the early stages of it.Throughout my journey, I found that I had 2 different kinds of cancer, and that for appearances, a unilateral mastectomy was recommended.I was lucky.No chemo/radiation.Just surgery.

I have Fibromyalgia and other co-morbid things that often accompany it.Years ago, I came across the Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino and thought YES!This explains it!Eventually, that led to a series of paintings.

Believe it or not, this was my first attempt at drawing and painting birds.I love how alcohol ink just forms textures and lights and darks.If only it weren't so smelly and were more lightfast!

Layering in alcohol ink can be a challenge, so getting a transparent look is difficult. Alcohol ink repels itself, so every time you put alcohol ink on top of itself, it pushes what is under it away.

One of my first attempts at painting figures in alcohol ink. Moving beyond abstract and into representational art. Growing up, I didn't think my stick figures were any good. Everything I paint starts with a simple thought. "I wonder if I can."

After awhile of painting abstracts and simple forms in alcohol ink, I wanted to see if I could do something more detailed.Eyes are full of color and depth. I gave it a go. This is my cat Sadie.

One of my favorites from my early days in alcohol ink. Willows by the Pond. Sometimes, using paper that stains can create some gorgeous effects!

I started my art journey late in life. At first, I started with photography, figuring that I couldn't even draw a nice looking looking stick figure. After a breast cancer diagnosis, holding a camera was hard. I discovered alcohol ink as an outlet. One of my early pieces.

I'm not sure that I will ever get over the hypocrisy of the Republican party cheering on an immigrant who is actively and publicly taking American jobs away.

Ahh Monday morning doom scrolling. It's like a car crash on the highway. You want to just go your own way and not pay it too much attention, yet, you can't help but look as you pass it and wonder just how it could have happened.

I painted this for my youngest who was having a hard time. It seems fitting for current events as well.The Celtic symbol Ailm represents strength and endurance, as well as resilience.The chamomile flower represents patience in adversity

"But who knows how long a grief may last? Isn't it possible that, even thirty or forty years after the death of a child or a brother or a sister, one may half waken, thinking of that person with the same lost emptiness, that feeling of places which may never be filled..not even in death?" - S. King

Took a break from posting for the holidays. I had way too much to do! Including painting a couple paintings for my kids as gifts. Acrylic is not my main medium, nor is painting on upright canvas. But I think these came out alright.

Beautiful Dreamer. Taking the kids to see The Nutcracker for the first time today. I love painting the movement of dancers. Alcohol ink and watercolors help to catch that beautiful fluidity and motion.

Majesty in Winter Moonlight. I don't have a lot of wintery paintings, mostly because I spent most of my life in Florida and our winter just meant it was comfortably cool enough to go outside. But, I really do love this one.

Poinsettia. Her wings remind me of poinsettia leaves. She wasn't originally intended as a christmas fairy, but I guess the inks have spoken!

Pumpkin Fairy. I think boy fairies are horribly under-represented and I wanted to change that a bit with this piece. Plus, painting pumpkins with alcohol ink is super fun!
