I filmed a video of these beautiful spring blooms today. The wind was so strong that it almost knocked me over while I was filming it.😅 Enjoy🤍

I've been revisiting old blog posts trying to decide whether or not to keep my blog or get rid of it.

Last May, I wrote this post as a gentle reminder to myself on how to navigate my fears and challenges while learning to paint.

It's worth resharing-

Rain,
Aren’t you my soul’s joyful tears
only longing for the sky to be happy?

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite. 💕

As someone who rarely makes it past the 1st chapter of a romance novel, this one surprised me. I highly recommend it! 💯 The novel came just in time for summer! Such a great beach read! 😎🏖️🩴☀️💕

This morning I spoke with a victim of a scam by an impersonator who was pretending to be an artist. This gives legitimate artists a bad name.🤬

I felt horrible and thought the right thing to do was to warn others. X doesn't give me the room to write so please see the attached.

The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of room, not try to be or do anything whatever - May Sarton

I'll be back on Monday. Enjoy the beautiful spring season! 🌸🌷

Pink Peonies 10-minute sketch on 5.5 x 8.5-inch paper.

I'm supposed to do a 10-minute practice sketch daily. That's not happening with my schedule.😅

It's hard to paint flower stems with the required 12-inch brush.🤣

WIP - Oil painting (about 1/3 completed)

I'm using Winsor Newton oils. I'm trying to decide if I prefer oils or acrylics. Oils blend better and are much easier to paint with. Acrylics dry faster and can take multiple layers.

Decisions…🤔

Artists, what do you like?

And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
