OOPS! Fuck. I meant this one 👍🏻👍🏻 Did you know that one little finger can make somebody's entire day? Including mine?? 🏞️ Somebody posts. 😬 They're nervous. 👏🏻 They're proud. 🤔 They're wondering if anyone gives a shit. And then... 👍🏻 Somebody LIKES it. 💬 Somebody COMMENTS. ❤️ Somebody GIVES FEEDBACK. Suddenly, they're not painting alone anymore. 🔋 THAT'S THE POWER OF YOUR FINGER! 🫵🏻 TODAY'S FINGER EXERCISE: Go find THREE posts or comments from other inmates and give them a little finger action. 👍🏻👉🏻🤞🏻👈🏻🤌🏻🖖🏻🖐🏻👐🏻✌🏻👌🏻👆🏻☝🏻🫰🏻 Then leave at least ONE encouraging, funny, or thoughtful reply or GIF. 🤞🏻 And remember... 🤌🏻 Don't just finger the Warden. 👆🏻 Finger your fellow inmates too! 😂 🫶🏻 Now GO SPREAD SOME LOVE! ❤️ 👉🏻 Drop a finger GIF. PS - Every time you give somebody a 👍🏻, THEY earn a point toward leveling up. When somebody fingers YOU, you get the point! 😂

This artist, I recently discovered, reminded me of the post on what makes a painting valuable. She seems to be so full of joy just in the act of creating. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Hvv3mx624/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Today is Veterans Day here in the United States. You know I have a thing for painting hands. Old hands. Weathered hands. Hands that have worked, loved, built things, and sometimes carried burdens the rest of us will never fully understand. Some of those hands have served their country. And behind every pair is a story. Today, I'd love to hear YOUR stories. Do you have a veteran in your family? A friend? Perhaps YOU served? Tell us a little about them. Not just their rank or where they served. Who are they? What makes them special to you? Share a photo if you'd like. And to the veterans among us, thank you for your service. ❤️ I'll return to our regularly scheduled inappropriate behavior tomorrow. 😂 Here are two paintings I have done that honor veterans. Riastrad - the story of what it feels like to come back after war. Find Another Word for Guilt - PRIDE - the story of getting past the grief of losing a son to war.

I learned something important today, but it’s only for those of you thinking about selling your art. If you’re painting for fun, no worries. Keep it fun! 🎨 I watched a free class of entrepreneur FAQs, and one example stuck with me. Michelle paints hands. That’s her thing, and it’s what makes her stand out. The takeaway: the more you focus on doing one thing really well, the harder it is for anyone else to compete with you. The more you try to please anyone and everyone, the more diluted your offerings get, and the harder it is to build an audience. That’s all. Just something to tuck away for later. 🙂
