Clarity
There are several reasons why this painting and post are called Clarity. Perhaps I should clarify right? Before I do, I will share the purpose of this blog and post. Small Spaces Special Places Each year, I select a theme for my weekly paintings. This year’s is “Small Spaces Special Places.” One reason for this […]
Tree Sounds
What do you think of when you see the words “Tree Sounds?” Do you think of the wind rustling through leaves? Or maybe you hear scratchy noises as a squirrel couple scampers up, grabs tree leaves to make a nest? There are so many other tree sounds to describe! But, first, I’ll write the purpose […]
Fleeting Moments
Spring time shows fleeting moments so clearly! Don’t you think? One minute, the trees are bare and spindly. The next minute, their entire leaf canopy is covering the sky. And, that’s just one example of fleeting moments this time of year. Right? Before I continue, I’ll share the purpose of this blog and post for […]
More Hills to Climb
Greetings from the road where we know there are always more hills to climb. We felt a special resonance with this phrase as we drove into the mountainous area of western North Carolina this week.

The colors in the trees along the highway are so delightful! I especially love the bursts of pink from the redbud trees. That’s all for now folks! Enjoy and […]
Are We There Yet?
“Are we there yet?” This is the question my siblings and I asked our parents everyday in 1965. Why? We were, eight of us, driving across the US in our family station wagon. And, we traveled in that station wagon for a month. It was awesome! But before I explain why I named this week’s […]
Take Me Away
Anyone remember the “Take Me Away” Calgon commercial from the ’80s? I remember using this phrase frequently during my previous life in day job world. It would always make me smile even when flames were coming out of whatever problem was going on. Before I continue, I will welcome new readers to this post and […]
