I feel sick and frightened these days when I see what is going on in Washington, DC. I am torn between needing to understand what is going on in our government, so I can be an educated citizen when I go to vote, and needing to protect my mental health by not over-consuming the fire-hose worth of shocking info coming to us instantaneously every moment of the day.
I have been painting birds, baby animals and beautiful landscapes, keeping my mind occupied and creating things with positive energy for people to collect in order to make their surroundings more peaceful and happy.
