I tried to paint tonight

[samplegirl]

I couldn't concentrate. I'm still reeling from seeing JD Vance's face last night.

1. Sample girl play some relaxing music It works for me I am a former Art Teacher and you are too talented to let them take

that away from you. Don't give them that power.

3. I agree, Deb!

6. I've been so down

all day long.

9. Do you ever paint abstractions? I do realistic as I can, and also (separately) abstractions. Maybe....

an abstraction would express your current feelings, and get them out?

2. Samplegirl,

I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I wonder if we will ever wake up from this nightmare.

8. I just came and got in my bed

I just can't think about any of it another second.
This really affects me This week is 4th of July and
I have never wanted more than ever to fly my flag upside down! Sandwiched in between both of my
Trump neighbors.


I tried and could not paint a thing.

5. Breathe, get a good night's sleep, play some calming music, and we will await tomorrow's

exquisite painting.

10. Trying Lois

Trying to find some peace. Thank you

15. I know. It is always easy to say to someone, "just do this"...but unless you are in that

person's shoes the best we can do is empathize and beseech The Universe for relief for that person.

7. But did you know

that couch-f*cker is also into painting?

[samplegirl]

11. No he can't like anything

that I do!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. LMFAO!!

[HeartsCanHope]

16. Sending you hugs, samplegirl!

We're all here for you.
