Here is a giraffe that I pictured as one of jungle royalty for how some of the shapes reminded me of jewels so I used oranges, yellow, light blue, purple and greens in both the mother and the child. I used kind of a light green for the leaves that the mother was pulling down to eat and share under the pink flowers of Spring and orange flowers on the ground.

Frog and Butterfly
Hope you like my psychedelic frog and butterfly. The butterfly flying just out of reach of the frog on his lily pad of two shades of green. While the flowers rising in background are in a soft pink. The frog shows that he wonders why the butterfly looks like him for it has the same coloring as he does of blues, pinks, yellows and greens. I did not color the white space and to show the water I just outlined the water lines in a dark blue. Please comment.

The truth behind culture of game show obsession
Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs and institutions of a population that are passed down from generation to generation. Culture has been called "the way of life for an entire society." As such, it includes codes of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, art. norms of behavior, such as law and morality, and systems of belief.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
