The InUGHration

People will know my antipathy toward the word “ladies.” Even so, say hello to my painting “Childless Cat Ladies,” painted since the election for the inUGHuration. It’s 24×30″, oil on stretched canvas.

Please forward so we can all #CelebrateResistance.

Eaton’s Quotes

“Advice from a Caterpillar

Chew your way into a new world.
Munch leaves. Molt. Rest. Molt
again. Self-reinvention is everything.
Spin many nests. Cultivate stinging
bristles. Don't get sentimental
about your discarded skins. Grow
quickly. Develop a yen for nettles.
Alternate crumpling and climbing. Rely
on your antennae. Sequester poisons
in your body for use at a later date.
When threatened, emit foul odors
in self-defense. Behave cryptically
to confuse predators: change colors, spit,
or feign death. If all else fails, taste terrible.”
― Amy Gerstler, Dearest Creature
