While staring at my blank canvas sitting on the easel I would never stick the wet paint brush tip in my mouth. Inadvertently cover myself with oil paint yes, but eat paint? Never. Neither would I ever

Anyone notice I jumped ship for a week? Steemit was the last thing on my mind last week with all my family away, except my little boy, myself and a homestead full of animals! If you missed out on where

The Kalahari Desert is a place for artists, poets, adventurers and the extremely stubborn generational farmers. The endless stretch of reddish undulating sands will either delight your imagination or send
