Shifting
There seem to be major changes in the air which is why I decided to name this week’s painting and post “Shifting.” Have you noticed it, too? And, I’m not just talking about the political climate although that certainly is (finally) shifting, too. Thank Goddess! Before I continue, please let me share the focus and […]
Hope
You may be wondering why I would name a painting of a bluebird house “Hope?” Well I am so glad you asked! Before I explain, I want to welcome newcomers here (“Welcome!) and share the purpose of this blog and post. Small Spaces Special Places Each year, I choose a theme to follow for my […]
Someday
So I had to name this week’s painting “Someday” because…well…there are so many reasons! I will share the reasons and more in today’s post. But first, let’s say adios to 2020 (wahoo, right?) and helloooo to 2021. Bye Bye Favorite Things So in 2020, I decided to paint and write a blog post about a […]
Joy and Wonder
How can I name this week’s post Joy and Wonder when we’re heading out of 2020 in flames? Well, I had several other ideas for this week’s headline including “Follow your Heart” and “We’re all Misfits” but I ended up choosing Joy and Wonder for all kinds of reasons. But, before I share that I’ll […]

Bountiful One

The native version of this plant is the Diospyros Virginiana and shazam, I would love to have one of these trees in our backyard. However, there are […]
Rake Revolution

What are the ramifications of this earthy, take back your auditory and sensory rights movement? Stay tuned for that gentle reader. First, let’s welcome newcomers and remind them what this blog, […]
The Beginning and The End
Depending upon your point of view, this either the beginning or the end of an era. Right? We’re on the other side of the election but we don’t quite have confirmation on results yet. It can feel as if we’re on the edge of something brand new or well…not! Before I continue, I’ll share about […]
Clouds at the Beach
Instead of Clouds at the Beach, I could have labelled this painting and post “Gone Fishing.” Why? Because the by the time you read this, we will have stolen away to the beach with two other couples for a camping, beach combing and walking adventure. Wahoo! But before I get too far ahead of myself, […]
Two Stacked Pumpkins
Welcome to Pumpkin Central where two stacked pumpkins are a sign of a happy home. Right? No? Well, maybe not everyone is as absolutely nutsoid and crazy about pumpkins as I am. (Mr Studly, by the way, completely agrees with the previous statement ;-D). But before I get too far ahead of myself, please let’s […]
