I am here...

Hi everyone...or should I say...Aloha!

I've captured so many inspirational photos

I can't wait to get started painting! This time away

has been good though, not just for relaxing in my favorite

place, but also for reflection about where I am,

and where I am going. I love vacations!

So good for the mind and soul:)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and I'm sorry I haven't been visiting

everyone, but my computer doesn't work so well in the sun!

I plan on posting some photos soon!

Blush...

contact me

I just finished this one and called it "Blush". I love this color!

I just got my hair done, highlights, and am feeling

so happy! I love getting my hair done. It's just like spring

all fresh and new!

Spring blooms...

It was such a beautiful day here today so I spent sometime outside, but

managed to finish this one. I sat out near some gigantic lilac bushes (more like trees).

We have white and lilac and they smell so sweet. 

The only bad thing was all the bees.

There were bees of every kind but mostly the big black bomber bees, I think they're called 

wood bees. I left them alone and they thankfully they did the same. I don't 

know if they sting but I sure didn't want to find out!

I had a great weekend...I hope you did to.

(I'm surprised I didn't capture a bee in this photo!)

And the winner is...

Terra from Terragarden.blogspot.com!

I'll call her Spring...

She just reminds me of Spring so I'm calling her "Spring 1". The "1" because I might do more like this. 

If you've been following my art for awhile then you know I'm not that creative when it comes to titles.

It's even a chore to title my blog posts sometimes! 

I hope everyone is having a great week. Mine is going great. I managed to find the perfect pair of white linen capris for my trip (among other things) And the best thing was, when I got to the checkout counter

I found out they were 1/2 off! So I got another pair. 

We should be announcing the winner by Friday so please check back.
Ok...take care!

Some changes...

Change is Good

After working on a few watercolors and the black and white portrait, I had a need to revisit these paintings

with a fresh approach. I'm not sure if you can tell what changes I made but I feel like they both needed more expression. I don't like for my paintings to get too tight and felt like a little loosening up would help. Sometimes it really helps to step away and to work on something completely different to get a different perspective to my work. I'm happy with the changes, I hope you are too:)
