I can't draw but watching you made it seem not so hard so I tried and my attempt was not awful. Thx. Trump is also losing his ability to vocalize.

Love watching you. As always it’s meditative and educates me.

Art supplies and books are always part of Christmas gifts here too.

The drawing will be on its way to the grandson - (will check with him on what he thinks is going on if you like)(I think she’s pointing out a flying saucer flying off with Trump, saying « Hey! … oh never mind what would you like for dinner?) (I find that men and dogs always give you their undivided attention after those magic words)

She: “Look at that!” He (and dog): “What?! What?!”

I love that you start with the hair! Hair is really a salient feature when we describe other people. ("Oh, you know. The tall redhead.") I thought the dog was going to be a dachshund but it turned out to be bigger so will perhaps be a better listener. I think the woman is offering an opinion and the man and the dog are just listening, not quite ready to weigh in. Thank you.

I loved that, Liza! (I finally spelled your first name right.) It's fascinating to watch your hand move across a blank page and bring beings to life -- men, women, dogs (do you do cats?) I think in this picture, the woman is gesturing at the dog to let the man know it's there. (Not too original, but . . . )

I missed your Zoom meeting, but will try to attend the next one. Thanks for all your words and images. You are a treasure!!

This is clearly not Nikki and Trump. Trump hates dogs, too, which is one of the countless examples of his unfitness for office. I love the way you drew this, Liza. Stay warm!

Yes, as the mop flops continues. I was hurrahing when I read about DeSatan, but then, using not so nice language when I saw he was backing the orange man. He had his people going around in freezing temperatures in Iowa.....for what? For this? I would hope all his supporters turn to Haley. Anyway, I'm happy out (as they say in Ireland.) I bought a coat which I sorely needed, and got two discounts. And from where I was standing today at the stores, didn't look like people were worried or hurting for money. .... except me. LOL.

Thank you Liza Donnelly - love the balance of line and your honest comment when you say “I don’t know what I am doing” and the art walks the walk! A comment to remember as all of us have these moments on our paths...

Yes, Trump's congnitive abilities are definitely in question. Interesting to watch, a bit like watching a slow car crash. Definitely upsetting that so many of his supporters want to vote for him no matter what.

I love watching you draw. You make it look so effortless.
