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

One of my favs!

That is a beauty! What flower is it?

Thank you. 😊

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov. Still going. Still speaking for so many of us.

Thank you! Thank you for standing up for us & giving us a voice.

Then for the love of everything… DO SOMETHING!!

SHAME! SHAME! 🔔

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

#abstractart #makeartmesses #ArtYear #boldcolor

Some recent experimenting…
Radiant liquid watercolors & acrylic inks on watercolor paper.

What’s your favorite thing?

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.

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

Looking at the sunset over the sea through an archway. Soft orange and yellow colours.

Bright light will always banish the dark...pass it on 🧡💛

Almost… almost forgiven. Not quite yet, but almost 😅

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, 😂)

Three cats posing in front of a window for the camera. Two younger ones on a bench with the older cat on the floor.

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.

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.

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 painting of a pair of lotus leaves in blues, greens, and metallic gold. The background is a soft gradient of purples, blues and greens.

#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.

Abstract mixed media painting of blues, greens, and yellows with pops of pearlescent inks peeking through.

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.

Beautiful simplicity!

An abstract mixed media painting in varying shades of orange. Vibrant colors with some metallic highlights near the upper right area.

Making it with a few hours to spare.

Painted during a recent abstract painting workshop. Letting it marinate while I decide if I want to add more.

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.

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

Thank you. It’s reassuring to know that I’m not the only one staring at this for a long time. 😃

Watercolor abstract florals in soothing greens, yellows and blues. Glimpses of handwriting from a stamp peek through.

Exploring watercolors interplaying with stamps, embossing powder, & wax.

Funny how sometimes you look back at a piece & realize, Hey! I painted this!” I was in a meditative state.

The Biltmore Estate home on the hill is reflected in a river found on the grounds. The home is framed by tree greenery both in real life and in the reflection.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Reflections

The 2nd of 2 historical estates for today’s focus of Reflections. This is the stately Biltmore Estate in Asheville. This POV took my breath away when I saw it!

Taken in 2016 on my old iPhone 5c!
