I had to zoom in on Silver Francis’s painting because THOSE DETAILS. Like inside the eyeballs. Her brushstrokes and blending is magic and so delicately done. "Fluid Impressionism" is such a perfect name for her style. Also, so much blue and green in nearly all of her paintings too!! Except the “Passing Pink” skull, which is probably my least favorite because it looks so...metallic? I like that tie in of those cool colors with the theme of death/nature/life. Here for this psychedelic death/skull energy. Also umm love the specificity of wanting to use “Lisa Frank” colors. Drawing skulls is fun, but I've never tried painting them 👀
Kinda stunned that tree picture was what you were using to reference because it looks fake??? And to me, it looks…flat?? How you managed to paint what you did is a miracle.
Thank you for making it clear that’s not your mom’s knee turned into newsletter content lolol
Now drop the recipe for the Vanilla Oatmilk Ice Cream and Mango Sorbet????????
IKR?! Her details are incredible. I think she actually coined "fluid impressionism" too. And that's an excellent observation of the cool colors for tying into death/nature/life. Let's try painting skulls! I haven't tried either but it would be fun.
That tree picture is terrible. I kinda just guessed and I think thats why it came out blobby lol
LOL i figured my mom would not appreciate her knee being on public display, although her x-ray is sick. Maybe I'll post my ACL replacement x-ray 👀 (or paint it.... 👀👀👀👀👀)
OK soooo I was considering making the sorbet and ice cream from scratch, but opted for store-bought instead.
If by, “Let's try painting skulls” you mean: Liz teaches Sandra how to paint skulls then yes, let’s. I loved your blobby tree painting!
“Maybe I'll post my ACL replacement x-ray “ lol It is art in its own right.
Alsooo um whaaat, this website is amazing. Cinnamon Vanilla Dandelion Tea Latte?? No-Bake Cinnamon Roll Bites?? Sparkling Blueberry Ginger Mocktail? I want everything.
When I saw the "Godfather edition" I literally was expecting vegan recipes, but for gangsters ROFL. The literal godfather version is awesome too haha. That snow-covered tree in the snowy field is lovely! Also, glitter or not or luminescent, I'm sure readers still want to see that disco ball!
Deeply enjoyed reading about the learnings and evolutions of your knee replacement painting, all while discovering Silver Francis which I agree is fascinating.
Also, laughed so much about the lady asking you what you've smoked 🤣 That's usually a sign you're onto something interesting 🤷♂️ And I did see a (mus)shroom in Francis' so you're probably coming closer to her style.
And cooking thai is your specialty?!?! I would really love to try that! And when you come to Mexico City I have to take you to my favorite restaurant ever, which style I baptized as "thai-mex", if that even exists.

This is what I would've made though:
Mango Sorbet: https://minimalistbaker.com/3-ingredient-mango-sorbet-no-churn/
Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream (I've made this before, its bomb. Splurge on an expensive bourbon vanilla extract for this too, its worth it): https://minimalistbaker.com/creamy-vegan-vanilla-ice-cream/
