plastic bag full of dog poop. :-|

I have adopted forests wherever I lived, and cleaned up the litter there.

Litter is an annoyance.

It is hard for me to send love to those who do not respect the earth

by throwing their garbage upon her.

I eventually send the love, but only after a bit of fuming.

In the end, if we send our strong dislike to the things we

don’t like, it does not help the situation or person much.

 

I often find these plastic dog poop bags thrown to the forest floor or hanging from branches.

I would rather wipe some poop from my shoe than continue to find

plastic bags full of dog poop.

 

What do you think?

I read all types even ones that are ‘for beginners’, because
I often find gleaming bits of information there.

One book that was fun was: Drawing: Problems and Solutions with Trudy Friend

I went and sketched after being inspired by this book.

A hawk came while I was drawing the trees. She landed on a branch,

and was eating her catch.

I made this one up.

The theme was to make a ‘peep show’ – a diorama using Peeps,

cute marshmallow candy shaped like chicks, bunnies,

and probably other animals I don’t know about.

My theme was ‘Peeps in the Rainforest’, because I love the rainforest.

The peeps in their rainforest tree.

Peeps in the Rainforest - Rainforest Tree

The tree before the peeps landed on it.

I worked on this for a few days, and completely exploded my studio

in the process.

Artified table and the box before it is painted.

I did this as a test to get a feel for what people would see

when they looked in on the diorama.
