As an homage to the degradation of the current Supreme Court's decision to reverse Roe v Wade and Justice Thomas's statements calls for not just revisiting Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage), Griswold and another contraception case, but overturning those precedents as well, I am including this image.

The overturning of Roe v Wade, reinforces that they are promoting women as class status as citizens. Apparently women can't be trusted to make decisions about their own body, but they can be trusted to be mothers, whether they want to or not.

With great sadness and anger, I encourage everyone to vote Blue. 

I'm sorry if my political view might be offensive to you. If that's true, you don't have to read any of my blogs or follow my work.

Sometime ago a lovely woman purchased a painting of mine, she has since moved out of the country, but had her roots in Marin County. This week she contacted me about purchasing a painting. We wrote to one another back and forth and I did some investigations on the best way to ship this painting. It looks like things are going swimmingly, so I will be sending the painting as soon as I get the packaging sent to me. These are some lovely things in life; first the making of a painting, sharing the piece, having the painting speak to someone who is looking and listening, and then having that person want to hold and continually behold the work bringing to them something meaningful. I was lucky enough to have had this happen recently with another of my paintings. I am forever grateful to be able to create something that touches another person so much that that person wants to have the painting around as a companion. 

Should any of you who are reading this find yourself drawn to a particular painting that you'd like to have and view, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can purchase the original or if you are on a budget, you can choose to purchase a giclee print (various sizes available). 

Here in the Bay Area it's been raining a bit, and while it's not been a heavy rain, news reports are saying that it will help to delay the fire season a bit. We'll take everything we can. Take care of yourselves and everything and everyone you love.
