One of my favorite places to take my dog to play in the water. (She’s off in the bushes searching for a ball! 😂)

Today, while buying some mat board, a woman came in with an ORIGINAL Morten Solberg watercolor of an owl! I gasped when I saw it! An original! With stray paint splatter on it! The detail in this owl, incredible. She was looking to sell it, so I offered her $50. Unfortunately she declined. Darn! 😂

I’m having too much fun painting with these granulating watercolors!
Plus, with all the chaos and evil happening in our country and around the world, it calms my soul and gives me a few hours of joy.

I'm excited to give the demonstration tonight for the Pikes Peak Watercolor Society. (Which I'm a member of. 😊) I'll be demonstrating how to achieve great granulation with watercolors. I'll be painting something similar to this.

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after Annunciation Catholic School shooting:
“Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying!”
Stop paying for a f-cking minute and demand action by people and not just God.

I just noticed how tall this hollyhock is in my garden! It’s got to be at least 12 feet tall!

This painting is taking me forever! Who knew painting tomatoes was so hard! I’m feeling intimidated!
Any other artists out there that have struggled with painting a subject?

There is a Cooper’s Hawks nest a block from my home. The babies fledged 3-4 days ago. Today while walking my dog and picking up her business, I looked up and all 3 babies were perched on a car watching us! 😍

I painted this scene from a dream I had, three nights in a row! Is it the storm before the calm? I sure hope so.
