Be the GOOD in this World. You can make a difference.

I have been reading blogs when I can, but having dry eye makes it a little hard, so I don't blog much anymore.
I miss my blog friends!

 It seems a bit mean to mention this, BUT
I have noticed a lot of views here from other countries of my old artwork. I don't think my art is that great, but I know it is easy to steal photos for your own use.

So if you are doing this-
PLEASE STOP.

It's not worth it.
Be kind.
There are too many hurtful, sad and awful things going on in this world.
Be a person that doesn't go that way.
Make a difference for GOOD.

Good to see you posting!
Prayers for your dry eye. Not a nice situation.

I've developed a sour and grumpy attitude that makes it difficult for me to communicate via any way. I feel fake in a way every time I hear myself laugh. Press on we must to find a happy place

I got diagnosed with dry eye last year-it has really effected my vision too-especially when driving. I am taking Blink now by bausch and lomb and also using lots of eye drops too-my eye doctor told me to use as much drops as I can

It's a beautiful bird. It's obvious I can't draw, so you would NEVER see anything this beautiful on my blog, unless I got permission to show it and gave you credit for painting it. I agree with you. That's why I watermark all my art. Of course, mine is mostly cut and paste. It was so good to see you online again, dear Debra.

Dear Debra I am so sorry to read about your dry eye. I will be sending up prayers that this situation will get better. I adore your bird. Miss your posts. Will write you soon. Hugs!

O dry eyes is not funny. Is it also painful? I pray for you this week, yes? And I love this art. What a nice bird. xxx from the Netherlands

Debra, this is beautiful! Your watercolour is lovely. I am so sorry to hear that people would actually steal someone's art. Such a shame. I hope you dry eyes will heal quickly. Here in Montreal, Canada, especially on Friday and Saturday, the smoke from wildfires in the prairies affected the air quality here so much so that we were advised to not venture out unless absolutely necessary, and if we did to wear a mask. I could not open my windows. Today we are getting much needed rain and the air is fresh so now I have opened my windows.
I hope that you experience kindness and good health and happiness. Sending you warm hugs and much love.

It's good to see a post from you, Debra. What a beautiful painting that is. I struggle with dry eyes too, and I wish I'd taken it more seriously when first diagnosed probably 10 years ago. I finally got serious about keeping my eyes lubricated when in 2020 I suffered from repeated eye infections (Dr believed was from wearing those masks we were all compelled to wear, as they had a surge in eye infections during that time). Until then I had no idea that dry eyes is a serious condition.

Lovely painting. I have dry eyes too but not so bad some days.
