One week in and the artwork in the group is AMAZING! I had fun with these florals, but I am itching to move on to something else. Don’t ask me what. LOL.

Fun side note. I was featured in Janine Vangool’s weekend newsletter, All About You. Janine is the publisher / editor / designer of UPPERCASE, the quarterly magazine for the creative and curious.

Painting is a source of endless pleasure,
but also of great anguish.
Balthus

Painting is concerned with all the 10 attributes of sight;
which are: Darkness, Light, Solidity and Colour,
Form and Position, Distance and Propinquity,
Motion and Rest.
Leonardo da Vinci

Snow And Mo’

Luck was on our side. Roads were clear, and my brother and his wife were able to spend Thanksgiving with us. The snow started early on Friday, and by noon, it was sunny and calm. Perfect weather for a snowball fight before they headed back to Phoenix. I watched it from inside the warm!

We had about 4 inches, Prescott had double that.

These hills are almost back to green now. I love how the snow reveals hidden details. Mingus is still covered. The roads are dry, and the yard is half melted. It doesn’t last long, usually. My kind of snow!

Now for the Mo’

Friday I opened an awesome surprise email. My good friend Chandra Lynn honored me with a feature on her blog, Pics And Posts. Along with my piece of art, she shared her own, and also one by my good friend Christine Brooks! Tres Amigas! Chandra’s posts are always heartwarming, inspirational and often gorgeous. I have learned so much from her and sometimes find myself in tears. The GOOD kind. Thank you, Chandra, for sharing your JOY!

Last week I took part in Louise Gale’s “heART Exchange“. I sent out three handmade postcards and will receive 3 in return. I was having so much fun, I made a couple of extras for friends.

I am so in love with these colors right now. I kept playing, and a have a handful in the works. Haha. I also spent a couple of days on a small tree. Just some creative late-night play. I am almost out of Green Gold. Haha.
