Thank you, Betty, for your boundless passion for wildlife and for your loving support of the Aquarium’s mission of ocean conservation since day one. We look forward to continuing your legacy of care and compassion for our living planet—we’re grateful to have been a part of your wonderful life.
It’s your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don’t take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.
Sometimes I remember that Scarface and The Golden Girls are both set in 1980s Miami, and the idea of what an interaction between Tony Montana and Dorothy, Sophia, Rose and Blanche might look like makes me happy
I remember being optimistic for the new year at the end of 2020, and boy did I learn my lesson . Entering this year with low expectations and only modest hopes. Who knows, maybe we can get through six days without incident. Rest in peace, Betty White; we were all rooting for you to make 100 but clearly 2021 wanted to throw us one last collective punch in the feels. I did manage to close out the year doing one of my favorite things – learning new art hacks. Lisa Bardot did this awesome paper cut class for Procreate, and I had a lot of fun with those snowflakes.
I wanted to share the process of working on my Betty piece, Our Lady of Grateful Camaraderie
I always love seeing people’s process work. I myself usually do all my sketching digitally to play with shape and colour before moving on to watercolours, like this one.
Honouring our Lady of Grateful Camaraderie for her 100 birthday, this tribute painting of Betty White has been created to bring you warmth and joy in her memory.
Prints, stickers and t-shirts available on my store. For the month of January, 10% of profits will be donated to Ladybird Animal Sanctuary in Hamilton Ontario.
