It will be good for them to get ‘new blood’. They won’t like it, they will actively complain for a painfully long time, but it might be just what they need to even out the ‘this is how we have always done it’ attitude. (source-Albertan aka me)

Awesome! Thank you for the info. One of the things I have always loved about QC is how well they treat their heritage buildings.

Thank you for sharing, I would never have found this. It was inspiring and reminded me to not judge why other artists do the things that they do, that I don’t know them. And I would never have guessed that (most) of them held such a passion for their own original artwork.

This is a great question! I often don’t think about it so this is good for my brain to analyze. It is sort of a ‘Bob Ross’ approach for the initial line of the tree and often the leaves, and then from there I let the brush do the walking. I enjoy shading trees/branches and then use a thicker paint to softly stroke on the highlights so that it ‘catches’ on the last layer. I try to keep in mind that while most trees are somewhat straight, there are many that are not so I try to feel out how they would fill/or not fill the space. And I will admit, I have little patience to paint out every single leaf. But because every tree is different, and every scene in my head is also, I generally try to balance where I put the bulk of the leaves, often using a brush that fits that tree to dab it on, again, a sort of Bob Ross style to explain it. With some of my other trees I like the smooth whiteness that comes out, those are usually my favourite. The kind that reflects the moonlight <3 Thank you for asking!

I wanted one for Art but didn’t want to be in charge so my husband started it.

I also want to start one for the disease I have but again - don’t really want to be in charge of it.

Maybe I think it’s going to be more work than it will be?

aah but we must not forget that a sign of her character was to poop in the bed of someone she spent intimate time with.

In context, an actress that is abusive and vengeful would be expected to behave differently than an elected person running a country.

Whether you like him or not, he has a better chance at fulfilling the pledge than Amber ever did.

And if he had pooped in someone’s bed I am sure we would have heard about it by now :p
