This is Phoebe. She came to me. She has been coming to me since last November. I didnt know I was looking for her but I was. I lost my half boston terrier/pug “Bugg” last July. She was 14. My best girl.

If you have been following for any length of time. It is known that my artwork informs my life. It is thru the process of Spirit Intelligence. This comes from elementals in the water of my paint, krystic beings, and most importantly thru the intelligence of the Spirit in All things.

Here is the pot I made in November 2025. It now feels like this is Phoebe being portrayed. I had a dream in December that I was getting a puppy. She was born sometime in October.

I believe that the Spirit wisdom was flowing through my present informing my future. Cory Muscara of the Practicing Human Spotify free podcast restarted last week after a year break speaks about the wisdom of the body. I highly recommend his meditations.

This is on the other side of the Phoebe face. Months ago I heard my rabbit say to me and this horse on the pot “I will go. And when I do, there will be a new dog for you.”

I Kept Digging

January 8, 2026 letustalkart

after the snowstorm drive early last Sunday morning, I kept wondering Why? (besides toughening me up to driving in said weather to make it to both my second semester in pottery and the first of the month Irish Session at the Port Tavern in Newburyport with Eamon Coyne).

in order to dig deeper (this was message from tarot readings after visiting the french bull dog I had already named “Phoebe” even though Tru , his other nickname I gave him as he had been previously named “Trooper” is a he) I had to go thru four other possible inquiries. In the way it occurred, I was offered a doodle dog, then turned away, I dug into the realization that yes, I would love another Boston Terrier after all. And also, I decided against getting a rescue dog.

Through a string of seemingly random movements, I think I may have ended up with the true dog. In the process, I descended into doubt for too long and then had to consciously release some kind of astral demonic sucker on thing that showed up in this latest painting. As per usual, once I spot a demon, I can release it by covering it over in white and silver watercolor, saying “I release you” and also clearing my energy, my doubt, sadness, futility, desperation, basically all the heavy overstayed emotions that shout “come eat my loosh!” This is an ongoing event that I see no end to in this body, on this planet. Whilst I am on this planet and dealing with my emotions, sometimes, I just hit overwhelm and lose my clear state of being. It is a common occurrence, dare I say, I fear.

To bring things to the present, after three Boston Terrier inquiries I learned a lot. Possibly one was a scam, and I know a month ago while looking for a BT, I was approached in messenger and it was a scam. Don’t forget the name “Phoebe” as my life happened.

Backstory: I had picked up an Icelandic Sheepdog and brought her home. I asked my son what to name her. He said “Frida.” Six months later the breeder said oh I thought you named her Frida because her mother’s name is Disa Frida.

The fourth Boston Terrier breeder I found on the AKC website (discovered Through one of my phone calls with a Vermont breeder). She had one female left. She is only fifteen miles from me and the mother of the litter is Phoebe.

Phoebe

in that exact spelling. Not Phebe.

Dec 28th, 2025 – January 2026

January 1, 2026January 1, 2026 letustalkart

I’ve begun another watercolor. It is mostly started with blob shapes, circles that I keep adding outer circles of colors, dots and lines. This is where I commune with the Divine thru the elementals. Faces, animals, beings…..show up here and there, sometimes much, much later near completion. The ones I keep are the benevolent ones. Some come in as interference, twisted, reversed and curious. I call this my catch and release program. The kind of entities and astral bits come from being at the supermarket, my dreamstate in the astral, family lineages, trackers, fAtalE intruders and more. If they are nearby they seem to find the painting irresistible and show up thru the painting.

this painting below is about teamwork – my tribe; the elementals mostly I work with while painting and the creatures that live close by (chicken – Hannah the second, two sets of crows born here, deer, turkeys, squirrels, my cat) as well my partner going on 27 years. Painting and also now pottery making using the images from watercolors is my greatest adventure and ongoing accomplishment. I am feeling the loss of my two dogs (frida, icelandic sheepdog and zurE, my bugg, boston terrier/pug) being by my side constantly.

I think i will continue to blog regularly as i let it lapse last year.

i did have to do some releasing from above painting. And when i had it in my corel painter digital program, a dog appeared on the bottom right. This occurred minutes before my adoption coordinator from Sweet Paws texted me with two photos. One a chichuahua name Tobi (my nickname, means “to be”) and the second photo a french bull dog!…. I asked her to put me on the list for both and now I wait to hear where I am on the list of other waiters. Did my painting this dog forecast my Frenchie coming to me. And now let me post work in progress, is this Tobi the chihuahua? Am i painting wishful thinking in terms of a dream map or is this a true symbol from the elementals? there are two distinct “dogs” unless this is my old greyhound (Hailey, rescued 1985 – 1995 i dont know how old she was when I got her, it was a private rescue). I am aware of my previous dogs helping me as ancestors to usher in the next dog tribe.

Raccoons when I was a Gurl

November 4, 2024November 6, 2024 letustalkart

In my twenties, the 1980’s, I was given four raccoons to raise. I lived in the town woods of North Reading, Massachusetts where later I would home birth my two sons. I lived there for years with a generator, no wired in electricity and heated by wood. The first raccoon was when I was approached on the shores of lake Geneva as a toddler.

Sasquatch Story

October 30, 2024November 1, 2024 letustalkart

His name he tells me is Ben. He has been nearby since my birth. He is my solar guide. “Indomitable spirit, radiant being, white rainbow wind” are the whispers he sends me.

Here are some photos I took in the summer of 2016. After I asked for a sign, I came out to see a weathered soccer ball. It had been missing somewhere in the woods for some years. The ball was square in the center of my field. This occurred minutes after I asked whether I was truly communicating with Ben, the Quvintilear Sasquatch.
