The Beginning and The End

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

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

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.

Playing

Playing

But first, let’s remind any new blog readers about this colorful place and blog and its reason for being. Favorite […]

Shadows

Shadows

Here we are heading into fall of 2020 when the shadows get longer, right? I love this time of year. The air is cooler and we can almost sense a change. At least that’s what I hope. But before I get too far along in my thinking, I’ll share some important details with you. Favorite […]

Resting

Resting

Resting? Resting! I found this leaf on one of my morning walks with our dog, Chloe. So, even though I wasn’t resting at the time, I came to think of this lovely oak leaf as resting while I painted it. Favorite Things Before I get too far ahead of myself, I will share that this […]
