Hehe. Pretty amazing set up you have going... 😌

I'll trade you Canada for Japan? 😂

Instagram is wilding out. It's all ozempic and fascism.

After 2 decades working in media, I'm leaving to enroll in an MFA.

I'm proud of the career, but the burnout became real.

This #oilpainting evokes feeling dried up, yet looking forward.

Such a mean country.

Two roosters fighting in front of tears and a kimono

The girls are fighting, aren't they?

What a week.

This #painting is 'Year of the Rooster', 28x48 inches, oil on canvas.

The rooster is my #chinese #zodiac sign. #Roosters are brave, observant, and talented.

In the wrong circumstances they can tend towards self-righteousness.

Nice, good luck!

Nice! What business if I may ask?

I just see meat garnished with meat. That onion is struggling!

No veggies on the steppes!

How bad is the food? 😄

Hokkaido butter ramen, Hokkaido ice cream, Hokkaido corn ramen...

The flavors are unreal. Do that!

Uggghhhh so jealous

What a delightful story!

Betta fish and Japanese dolls fight water droplets

"Like Fighting Water", oil on wood panel.

#Betta #fish are known for their confrontational nature and aggressive displays of beauty.

Even in situations that seem pointless, I like to think that asserting confidence with unapologetic style can boost inner strength.

I also like painting with watercolors. Just getting my feet wet. I like the ethereal feel to this painting.

"Froggy's Garden" 14x11 inches, acrylic on canvas. Yellow poison dart frog sits atop a poisonous mushroom in his garden of dangerous mushrooms, deadly nightshade and poison ivy. I'd stay out if I were you.
