There have been 132 posts since 2019, but I've been complaining on the internet since long before then.
Did a quick little painting in my sketchbook tonight, and looked back at what my paintings looked like a year ago, and a year before that. I don’t often think that I’ve gotten any better at making art, but looking at my older paintings, even I can see how much I’ve improved. Practice definitely makes progress.
Happy Zeus Day!
Two years ago today, my partner and I pulled into a Dairy Queen parking lot in the middle of Alberta and laid eyes on a very energetic, very handsome one year old golden lab named Zeus.
Is it too soon to start planning next year's garden? Yes, I know it's August.
