I painted this when Russia first invaded the Ukraine. It’s the Ukrainian trident painted w/ flowers to represent their floral crowns. A painting meant to combine their of strength & culture. Today, I continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for democracy and their sovereignty.

I haven’t painted in months—since my mom went on hospice. And then, she passed away at the end of January, and I haven’t been able to bring myself to pick up the paintbrush still. I know I need to. I have a show coming up in April, but it is just so hard to get motivated. #art #grief

We used to live in Colorado, and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss it there.

It’s been awhile since I have painted a landscape. I need to get back into it. Until then, here is one I painted and sold last year.

I named this watercolor Field Mouse but my husband likes to call him Gus.

I really struggle to paint or draw people. In other words, I haven’t been able to do it. I made a goal to work on people as a subject last year, but didn’t really follow through much. One painting that didn’t really satisfy me. Maybe this year will be the year to try it again.

I haven’t painted with watercolors for a little while. A tree swallow painting for the day.

I never tire of painting flowers. Well maybe sometimes, but that feeling is fleeting.

I’m always looking for inspiration when painting. If you have a landscape or floral or critter picture you are willing to share with me to paint, post it below. If I paint it, I’ll post the painting for you.
*Photo must have been taken by you.*

The first large painting I ever completed. I did this in 2020.
