You cannot express what’s in the jungle of your heart, if you’re afraid of things getting a little wild.

This is the view into the corner of our garden – but more what that view makes me feel than what it looks like, leaf for leaf. I painted this painting with one brush only – a long, thin floopy one – to help me tap into feeling rather than detail.
.
Also I left out the wall – because who needs more walls in life?!

I painted today’s miniature with a renewed return of the unbearable ache under my scapula. My sacrifice of daily repetition.
.
To say I eeked this one out is an understatement. It took me thrice as long because of all the distractions I navigated towards. The whole thing was f&^%$ painstaking.
.
As I painted alongside this pain, all I felt burning in my shoulder were the woods, the woods, the endangered wild woods.
.
And all I hear was hungry capitalism burning them down for a beef industry that feeds the world’s mass meat-eaters with distraction while they profit from destruction.
.
While the sacrifice of my daily repetition is only my chosen burden to bear and wholly worthwhile, I believe, in the long run – the daily repetition of eating meat and turning a blind eye on your part in feeding the monster that burns our forest is not a sacrifice our planet chose or can recover from.
.
And that’s the P A I N – S T E A K I N G reality of our burning, burning, wild woods.
.
Please choose reduction, choose less mass-farmed animal agriculture. Choose Amazonia.

There can be water in a rainforest, and yet it can burn.
And there can be love after a breakup, but make your stomach churn.
Just because it’s possible, doesn’t mean it’s good.
Just because it happens doesn’t mean it should.
.
A little poem for mothers – earth ones and birth ones.

Isn’t it crazy?
That there can be water in a rainforest, and yet it can burn.
And there can be love after a breakup, but make your stomach churn.
Just because it’s possible, doesn’t mean it’s good.

A tiny painting of a place, or rather many parts of a place, that came together in one tiny painting.⠀
.⠀
For you @jalperstein, your Cameroon. ⠀
.⠀
I hope this will help you keep all the lush greenery and abundance of a place you love near, always.⠀
.⠀
And thank you for being so giving🙏 My burn experience would not have been the same without our wonderful sequence of events. I love that it found its way to me from such verdant lands. ⠀
