Gabby Giffords in Bisbee

Tonight was action-packed over at Cafe Roka, due to a visit by Arizona Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords.

She was late getting to Bisbee, because an angry mob of Tea baggers blocked her way when she was trying to leave the near-by town of Douglas.

It sounds like things got kind of hideous down there, but the only Tea bags we saw in Bisbee were the ones Cochise Country Democratic Chairman, Bob Bland, brought.

We had our own protesters though, but they were all Democrats and friendly, so nothing got out of control in this department.

The toughest, meanest protester of all was probably my neighbor,Roman,who reportedly believes "Blue Dogs" are some kind of candy that is bad for you.

Gabby rocked the mic about health care reform. She explained to people that she fully supports it, but believes we must be fiscally responsible and be realistic when choosing our plan.

Lots of people voiced their concerns over health care.

I realize this is their one chance to speak their mind to Gabby on this very important topic, but

just the same, ZZZZZZZZZZ.

I felt kind of sorry for her here. BOOOOORING!

Mark Stitches, our local doll-maker, livened things up when he gave Gabby a hand-made Obama doll.

I think she liked this.

Afterwards, I got a moment to chat with Gabby. She pointed out that the last time she saw me I was wearing a gold crown. She talked about coming down to Bisbee to have some fun next Halloween, I hope she does!

I told her about the "Gabby Mobile" I want to make her. Pink and purple and covered with "My little Ponies". I made her laugh if nothing else.

Anyways, Gabby is alright by me. She's real, she's smart, she sticks to her own principles... and most of all, she's fun!

Skate Park fun!

Today I found myself wondering what my paintings would look like next to skaters.

This is what I found out...

I'm not sure what I think, but I guess I can cross that off the list for today!

Here comes Lily!

Lily...that girl can paint!

She painted this about two hours today at the Art Envoy Institute.

Look out world! Here comes Lily!

The Panter Party

The deep, dark forest in the place that the pantsuit people go when they turn feral.

Yes, it happens, it's even happened to me once or twice.

It's hard to tell from this painting, but the "Panters", as they like to be called, are in fact wearing fur pantsuits and animal masks.

The Panters are responsible for creating such groups as the "Black Pantster Party".

If you know your Hillary Clinton Army trivia, you'll know what I'm talking about.

The Panters love pranks, tea parties, crank phone calls (when they go into town), tussling, and anything to do with crowns and Royalty.

They tons of fun, but tend to take jokes too far.

This one goes out to Wendy

Wendy is a dear friend who is a tour manager for some really great musicians. She gave up her life as a real estate agent to hit the road and live her dream. Following your own path isn't always easy, but it's absolutely essential if we want to be truly happy, fulfilled, and have a positive impact on the world.
This one goes out to you, Wendy!

Happy Birthday, President Obama!

Butterfly Bri

So there I am, painting at the Institute with Art Envoy Bri today...

I'm painting away in my usual style, my focus being on a 70's retro-style pantsuit ala Lilly Pulitzer, when I look over to see what Bri is up to...

As the kids are saying, "She killed it".

Bam! Bri's second time oil painting ever and she busts out with this amazing pantsuit-butterfly girl!

Though she just started the painting, we can clearly see it's going to be a winner.

The girl's got it, that's for sure!

Rockin' the mic about Gabby Giffords

Have I mentioned recently that I just LOVE me some Gabby Giffords?

Well, it's true. I do.

We are so lucky to have such a fun, cool chick as Gabby, for our Congresswoman here in Arizona.

(Posing with Gabby on Halloween)

It's a bummer we have such a gross Senator though. Yuck! He never actually DOES anything positive for Arizona, I mean not one single thing.

Gabby, however, she's a gal who gets things done.

She's smart, she's sassy, and she's definitely going places!

I have to admit I was only joking the first time I mentioned to Gabby the idea of making her a Gabby car. I felt certain that I was a one-trick pony in the political car arena.

A couple of weeks ago, however, I dreamt that I did indeed make the Gabby car, and speaking of ponies... this car was pink and purple and had "My Little Ponies" all over it.

This is when I started to get excited about the idea.

Of-course Gabby would have to brush all the ponies tails before heading out to a function, but certainly she would think this is a small price to pay for such a one-of-a-kind ride.

I found out after the dream that Gabby really is into horses. So perhaps this really would be fitting.
