Photos of the Week

So glad I got out while the weather was still spring-like last week! Man it changes fast here.  Now it feels more like January again.

Life is moving quickly- my husband just accepted a good job offer and now we can start hunting for a new house!  Hooray!  I'm sooooooo ready for those changes!

A Look at my Sketchbook

 My brain is overflowing with painting ideas.  Good thing I captured some of them in my sketchbook over the last few months.  If I don't record them, they leave me and may or may not return.

One sunny afternoon I got the urge to get outdoors and sketch some landscape.  It's all still brown here but it was beautiful and warm and I was reminded of why I love to create outdoors!  It restores my soul and gives me peace.

What's your favorite way to spend time outdoors? 

Me displaying my awesome ability to photograph myself and draw at the same time-haha!  not really- I was just posing here!

Photos of the Week

It's that time of year again............time to come up with some new things to shape into hearts and photograph.  

This year I went the more natural route.  I even went to the trouble of cutting heart shapes out of poinsettia leaves by folding them in half and going at them with scissors- like cutting out paper hearts. I've gotta try that with bigger leaves sometime. Fun stuff!

Have a wonderful, loving Valentine's Day!
