It’s been way too long since I’ve been on here. To say there’s a bit going on is an understatement.

The November Art Auction got canceled 🍋 But a friend offer to share her booth at Saturday’s Tampa Bay Coffee & Art Fest! 🦄 @ FL Fairgrounds

16 of my paintings will be available. Here’s 4

Today, I was reminded to enjoy the journey. I get so focused on meeting some kind of goal, passing some kind of test, that I forget. I get overwhelmed with everything going on around me that I forget it’s OK to have fun, make a mess! Here’s my mess

What’s your favorite thing?

Lavender fields & lone tree… From one of our workshops in Provence.

Lavender fields shows beautiful lines leading to a small tree on top of the hill. A spot where I always take participants of my photo tour in Provence.

Aw… I’m happy Doodler is still with you! Gennie made it to 12. The other 2 will turn 7 this year & are a diluted torti (Mystie) & a tortie ( Pip - the meowanger up front). All knew good Rembrandt lighting, 😂)

From 6 years ago. A rarity to get all of them together & not killing each other. Sadly, Gennie (on the floor) is now gone. Pip looking like the meowanger she is.

My mom was still hoarding a bottle up to her dying day. She used it sparingly, “when I really needed something that works!” I have burnt in memories of trying to squirm away from her whenever I had a cut.

The #BlueSkyArtShow this Saturday is for #Spring

Here’s one of my favorites from a trip awhile back to Rough Point. Doris Duke’s estate in Newport RI. It screams Spring & fairytale garden to me.

A tree in full flower of pink blossoms centered in the middle of a garden path. Other greenery and colorful flowers line the pathway. This garden is located at Rough Point Mansion—The former Newport, RI estate of philanthropist, Doris Duke.

#FebruArty #Pair

A pair of lotus leaves. Watercolors, acrylics and metallic lines help bring some dimension to this painting.

I always feel calm when I look at this.

It’s been a bit “too much” today.

Here’s the companion to yesterday’s abstract painting that was painted during a recent abstract painting workshop. Another one I’m letting marinate while I decide if I want to add more.

Just some getting into the Valentine spirit. The small painted canvases are what’s left from my book club’s Galentine Day get together.

#valentines #artist #artyear #colorpalettechallenge #hearts

A selection of colorful hand painted valentine hearts on canvas and watercolor paper. Colors of reds, purples, pinks, turquoise, and yellow. Some say, read and sip, dream big and luv.
