I don’t usually post works whilst I’m working on them. This is just the second layer of a little painting I’m doing as part of a series of four fairies. I thought it was interesting because I had imagined Addie dressed in the feathers of an Eurasian Jay. But I found it just didn’t work for me.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

I found this little beauty flying around our living room. We still don’t know where she came from, as we don’t have any open fireplaces. She was very very cute though. I released her when the sun went down. She’s a pipistrelle.

Two of our beautiful new girls. This is Patsy and Eddie. They’re part of the AbFab trio, along with Saffy. I had no idea hens were such fun. Big personalities.

What will this mean for all the artists shipping to and from the USA? To clients, galleries, museums, group shows? DHL is a very popular carrier in the art world. And how long before other logistics groups follow suit?

Here’s some closeup views of ‘Airmed’. I had never painted teeth before, and it was a great experience. The flowers are all different kinds of herbs. It is said a herb grew for every bone and sinew in her brother’s body. One for every day of the year.

This is my most recently completed painting, called ‘Airmed’. It’s 50 x 40cm/19.7 x 15.7” oil on panel.
Airmed was the Irish goddess of healing. More in the comments.
