Big doings in the Edwards household these days... All three kids wearing smiles as wide as their faces... I'd have to say...I am too! 🙂 **A Note about the Mini Lessons starting this Friday!! I'm a little overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiasm...and so I'm afraid maybe you might be thinking this will be like an interactive … Continue reading Three Cheshire Grins

The Linchpin
Yep. You guessed it! To draw and draw (and paint) my little life! Genevieve knew it. I've even known it in some measure all along...it shows up in my Artist Statement, in this post and this one. But somehow I've needed a re-ordering, a sorting, if you will, to realize once again, the path I'm … Continue reading The Linchpin
A Bird’s Nest
What is it about Bird's Nests that we are so attracted to them? They're all over the web, on book covers, as jewelry, as decorations, on cards, in paintings, etc. What is the "draw"?:) Does it have something to do with the brown mess of twigs and sticks, mud and leaves, tenderly assembled into a … Continue reading A Bird’s Nest
Touch of Color
Though this sketch was made in the Fall, it reminds me of what's going on right now in our neck of the woods. Color is peeking out of the winter grays here and there! And it's only the beginning of March! Daffodils dapple the gray-brown landscape like watercolor splashes, and cherry, plum, and even some … Continue reading Touch of Color
My Blog in review: 2011
Here's an excerpt: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 17,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many people to see it. Click here to see the complete report.
What I Want
8 am. The first day of 2012. I'm sitting here in my usual morning spot, reading, thinking, writing, gazing out the window onto my back yard and the street as it leads further into our neighborhood. What do I want this year? I typically shun the list-making of "things I want to do/accomplish" as it … Continue reading What I Want
Going On Holiday!
No Skip November is over...December is here! And Genevieve is going on a little holiday. A Cyber Holiday that is...pulling off the Worldwide Highway to go on some merry making ventures. I may pop in with a postcard or two, but I'm declaring December time off from blogging and facebook. I'm not actually sure I … Continue reading Going On Holiday!
The Treasure
This is the fourth in a series of oil pastel over watercolor. See them all here.
Three Things She Loves
Piano, Snippy, and Squirt...among many others. I walked into the sunroom, where Maddie had just finished practicing her Christmas pieces, and there ON the piano were two of her favorite plushies who had listened intently while she played. Why do we ever stop carrying around with us favorite toys, dolls, stuffed things? Do we become … Continue reading Three Things She Loves
A Delicious Morning
Morning is the best time of day for me...quiet, solitude, time to think, read, pray, write. But it is made even better when my littlest joins me. I tell her, "This is quiet time for us...you can write too." So she grabs paper and pen and begins to write. This particular morning she began a … Continue reading A Delicious Morning
