Yes agreed! And many newer model cars too! I learned the hard way that ethanol isn’t a “friend” to Subarus. 😖

Meme says I don't want a city on mars I don't want AI in every app I don't want date centers in space I want clean water I want affordable healthcare And I want bees to survive It shows snoopy fishing and dreaming of the day ;-)

Life is actually pretty simple

An example of artist Emily Sargent’s paintings. A watercolor painting depicting a bright sunny day with cast shadows in a white-walled garden of yellowish-green plants with some pottery sitting on the garden wall.

Today for Women’s History Month: artist 👩‍🎨🎨 Emily Singer. (Emily was the younger sister of artist John Singer Sargent.) I just recently became aware 😍🥰 of her work; the majority of it was watercolors. 🖼️ 🖌️

Image of three sculpture studies by Camille Claudel: on left a rough sculpture of an old bald man’s face and head mounted on a dark brown wooden rectangular support; middle - a nude kneeling man reaching up to embrace a figure that still in rough form, only the head and arm are detailed; on right a nude man crouching upon an undetailed block, his head resting on his left knee while his arms wrap around his bent left leg hands crossing over his left ankle.

For International Women’s Day, and Women’s History Month: sculptor ⚒️Camille Claudel. 🥰
I can’t even imagine the beautiful pieces she would have added to her creative work if her mother and brother hadn’t institutionalized her! 😔💔

I love this shot at night 😍 - it adds the perfect backdrop & gives the snow/greenery/flowers balance and contrast.

photo of an old paint-covered artist’s brush. Orange handle covered in multiple paint colors. The brush is ragged, worn, split and stained greenish blue.

Close up photo of the paintbrush’s brush - which is ragged, worn, split and stained yellow greenish blue.

This is my👩‍🎨 “that one brush you just can’t part with”. 🥰 I’ve had it for almost 40yrs. A golden taklon 🖌️that volunteered one day to mix paint & it’s been doing it ever since. No other brush has this role; dedicated solely to mixing watercolors or acrylics.

Molecular illustration of an actin filament (depicted as colorful orange beads) that is wrapped by helical twisted bands of tropomyosin (depicted in a light gray color)

Molecular illustration of interaction between a neuron and muscle fiber. Yellow represents the neuron, with red representing the muscle fiber.

Black & white (scratchboard) illustration of a beetle. The view is looking down onto the beetle’s back.

Celebrating International Women & Girls in Science Day by posting some of my old illustration work. Worked 11 years as a medical & scientific illustrator. The bug pen & ink was from my work study in the Entomology Dept at Ohio State.

Just on the subject of carrying: Rittenhouse was carrying a M&P15 - and - was a minor. No one executed him for it.

rose bush against chainlink fence that is wrapped in burlap for the winter season looks like a wrapped human figure.

My 3 yr old climbing rose 🌹 is all tucked away for the winter

Didn’t realize until I stepped back that it looks like a dead-Aunt Edna from National Lampoon’s Vacation. 😉🤣🤣🤣 Should keep the neighbors entertained for the season!

A prickly heart 😉🤣🥰.
I 👩‍🎨 came across this little cactus 🌵volunteer as I was weeding the cacti bed today.

View of Devils Tower/Mato Tipila (Bear Lodge) across a dried-light-brown grass meadow, with a line of pine trees and a blue sky. The formation is made of ancient volcanic magma that formed into 6-sides columns on its outer surface.

One of my favorite places to spend 🥾🧺 a day, or camp🏕️ for a weekend. 😍🥰

beautiful image! 😍

a backyard filled with fall colors: yellow leaved trees, reddish brown leaved trees, a flower garden of orange, yellow, green drying out plants, grass that is still green but with patches of brown grass; two blue Adirondack chairs, and a shed with orange dark brown and purple colors

Despite the utility lines I👩‍🎨 have a beautiful view of the neighborhood’s fall colors! 😍🥰🍁🍂🍃

If you know cottonwoods🌳, you know the rattle of their leaves🍃. My favorite sound.🥰

Spider with large oval shaped striped abdomen and long banded legs resting in her web. The web has a woven vertical white band below the spider. Behind the spider and web is a cyclone fence and a bergamot plant with green leaves and pink blossoms

Discovered an orb weaver spider 🕷️ has set up her web 🕸️ in the fence/trellis corner next to my climbing rose. 🥰

Two boxes, one opened to show contents, sitting on a wooden desk. The contents are new bookplates, the design is a black cat standing on, and looking down at, a stack of books

My bookplate order from Bookplate Ink arrived today! 🥰😍 Recently found the company, it’s continuing the designs of Antioch Bookplate Co. Decades ago I started placing this black cat 🐈‍⬛📚 plate in my books, but eventually the plates were no longer sold. Now I get to continue!

creative pins celebrating art: Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette by Vincent Van Gogh; The Thinker by Rodin; one that says “Support your local museum”; a miniature color wheel that turns; and one that says “Create” in multi-colors.

Bought these fun art 🧑‍🎨🎨 pins from Minneapolis Institute of Art’s 🖼️🖼️🖼️ gift shop. 😍🥰 The two on the right, yes the color wheel works!, were designed by The Gray Muse, a creative place that makes all kinds of pins.

This is another of my native prairie plants: Sneezeweed 🌼(Helenium autumnale). This is it’s 1st year, very surprised it sent up blooms.😍🥰
