Deep roots are not reached by the frost

You can watch me paint her here

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Thank you for your service, brave veterans.

I love you.
Oh, how I’ve loved you..
Thank you for all you have given us.
Goodbye, Mr. Cohen.
You will be forever missed,
but never forgotten.

What a highly emotional week this has been. Utter sadness, disbelief, and grief for some, joy and elation for others. If you want to know which political side I’m on, I’m on neither. I’m on the side of love, and every ounce of my being is begging for peace. Please! We need it more than ever. I don’t care who you voted for or if you voted at all. Let’s make some art together, yeah? Show me what you got! Happy PPF!
