Hoo… boy. Well if you are happy with Tuesday’s election results, I congratulate you. If you are devastated, shocked and heartbroken, well, I’m in that camp.
I realized the other day I’m tired of doing small watercolors, though I was glad for the distraction of painting with other artist pals on election day. I did a few small watercolors of Holly’s gorgeous persimmons but was bored and the work showed it. So I got out a larger piece of paper and paints and Inktense blocks and ink and did something else. I rather like this one as it’s a bit out there. Like my emotions that right now are orbiting Jupiter.
And so be it. I will paint and I will cry. I will anxiously watch news shows and then turn them off and crawl onto some soft surface with an interesting book. I will trust myself and The Divine.
I’ll be OK and we’ll be OK. We can do this. We’ll fight and do our best for love of country even while being dazed and confused. We have the necessary grit. Keep the faith, folks.
