My February 2025 watercolor and pen comic in 4 panels: (1: text) I feel it's essential to stay informed about what's happening in the U.S. and the world ~ but at the same time I need to balance the negativity of monsters in the news... (2: art) an orange monster, a green monster, & a red monster; (3: text) with the positivity of miracles in nature; (4: art) an orange Queen Butterfly, a green Prickly Pear cactus, and a red Vermilion Flycatcher.

Painting makes me happy and hopefully sharing them can make you happy too! I just finished this #EasternBluebird.

The world feels a lot darker today, but I'm going to keep #PositivityPosting

I painted this chickadee yesterday and the adorable little blorb brought me some happiness, and I hope he brings you some too.
