Back to my chronic illness painting standby, tiles. Small, light, easy to work with, and a sense of satisfaction in a little painting. Also, a desperately needed sense of peace in the midst of chaos.

Today in the #library : A Disturbing Phone Call
It was lunch and a busy time when I answered the phone. The caller ID let me know it was an outside line and I assumed it was a parent calling about some issue with a student's library record. (I'm still sending notices to recent grads about books.)

Painting en plein air is definitely not the easiest thing with fluid mediums. Alcohol inks are SUPER challenging because of the environmental factors as well. But with care and caffeine, painting outdoors can be liberating.

Caturday and the living is easy…today we find Bob with his stuffy bear. Bob is either a Maine Coon or a Norwegian Forest cat, we aren’t sure which, but he’s 20 pounds of meeping sweetness. #Caturday #catsofspoutible #CatTaxPaid #fluffy #paws

Nara makes black paper for alcohol inks, and using it can be challenging. First, add your (invisible, transparent) coloured ink and then add white ink to your colours to make them appear. Hope you have a composition 😳🙏 #ArtSpout #alcoholinkart #AbstractArt #CanadianArt #artistsonspoutible

#homemade focaccia. Cherry tomatoes, rosemary, and olives. Flaked salt on top. This one worked quite well.

As an artist who has a few chronic conditions, there are days when I can’t do big projects. These small art boards from Ranger ink are really great for those days I can’t stand. #ArtSpout #T1D #Fibromyalgia #alcoholinkart #AbstractArt #CanadianArt #artistsonspoutible

Today: attempting a sunset in alcohol inks is MADNESS, I tell myself, as I sit down at the table, palette knives and brushes in hand. This is what happens when you court madness

QI
Panel shows are a staple of British TV. QI may be the best. Created as an antidote to conventional competition show, the only important thing is to be quite interesting. Clever and funny.

The Goon Show
I could write a book on this. I may. Radio comedy from 1951 to 1960. Fast, surreal, dadist, and perhaps the funniest thing I've heard. Without this, Python would not exist.

Today, a large piece. A 30x40 inch Nara paper piece from the ROLL of Nara that shipped much faster than anticipated and has been my sole source of artistic obsession since it arrived. For alcohol ink, Nara is a joy.

Sometimes small things can be difficult but they can bring joy. I love painting ceramic tiles and they are such joyful little things that can often take up hours of pleasurable time. They are all different and unique and flawed 🥰 #ArtSpout #alcoholinkart #fluidart #artistsonspoutible

To me, a purple sky always feels like a very dramatic person who has dressed up for a night out on the town. Again, this is working ink with a palette knife. Details with alcohol ink markers.

People can believe something is true, and people can believe something is not true.
The belief itself does not make the thing true.
Each of us is a sum total of our life experiences and environments we grew up in. We should always stand ready to challenge ourselves and question our beliefs.

That’s our sky today. The air quality health index is at 10+. It feels and smells like walking into a campfire without the heat. Ugh! There almost 100 wildfires burning in Alberta with about a quarter of them out of control. #AlbertaWildfires

Raaaain. Which is a very good thing, especially since there’s been all the lightning. I’m gathering up candles in anticipation of the power outage, because…all the lightning. Despite the rain, it’s still hot enough for the A/C to kick on.
I’m hoping for an excuse to eat ice cream for dinner #Stormy

Well, we are officially under what appears to be a litany of weather conditions that have converged on our area. Thunder is quite rumbly, but so far the convergence seems to be circling around warily, throwing out the occasional irritated flash of lightning. We wait, under the heavy pressure. #drama
