Art
So … I post on FB and Insta, but I keep forgetting to post the same stuff here. I’m horrible. So, now you get a dump of photos to show what I’ve been doing. Art. I’ve been doing art. Watercolor … Continue reading

Try It Tuesday
I attempted a watercolor of the Aurora Borealis. Mistakes were made, but that’s how things go. There are things I’d do differently, but it’s still a pretty painting. I learned from it, and can hopefully do better next time. The … Continue reading

Crossing the Bridge
Life can be messy. So can creating (maybe someday I’ll share a pic of my palette post painting). Both can also be scary. We get used to our lives and routines or our way of creating. Deviating from our norm … Continue reading

Find your joy
Ah, what a year it’s been so far. The chaos and the crazy and the frustration have been most prominent, but there’s more to life than this. There is joy. It might be hard to see, but it’s there. Like … Continue reading
Looking Back/Looking Forward
First of all, please forgive any typos you may see in this post. Typing is difficult today since I burned the middle finger on my right hand yesterday in a tragic peanut brittle accident. Some of the candy dripped onto … Continue reading
Monday’s Musings
Happy Columbus Day? Yep. It’s here. That glorious day when we celebrate/honor the man who “discovered” America even though we all know by now that he didn’t even reach North America. I’m not sure why we continue to have a … Continue reading
