Tonight's Monday Watercolor [View all]

Today seemed to be such a sad and somber day. It sure throws a monkey wrench into the way I paint as well.
Was looking for something humorous to paint. Even though I have Christmas trees up in my house, Scarlett has never done this. She's a pretty good cat. She has her favorite ornament that she takes off every single morning off my bedroom tree, but that's about it.

After waking and reading the worst news ever I thought it was smart to just stay off of the news. I wasted most of my day, just trying to figure out how one man could change so many people's lives with his hate.
I thought about how much longer we will have to persevere. It makes me hate every Republican walking because they do support him.

He had ruined so many families. Including my own and every day he continues to divide us.

I refuse to be part of a soulless society no matter
what.
Even if I couldn't draw or paint today.
