Sometimes when we let go we catch a glimpse of our truest selves. -jpe Psssttt...how do you like my new WordPress Theme? I needed to let go of the dark background. At least for now.:)

Weekend Drawcumentation
I had a very full but wonderful weekend! When it looks like there may be little time to breathe between the coming and going, my desire to draw kicks in full throttle. Maybe it's something to do with a need to slow down somewhere in the midst of it, or to have a touchstone to … Continue reading Weekend Drawcumentation
Following My Life
A dreadful photo of this! Early morning photography is next to impossible around my house. For more on following your Life in contours...check out this post! So many times, I wish I was like Harold, dragging my purple crayon around behind me, drawing every step of the way! I'm off in lots of directions this … Continue reading Following My Life
October means The JDRF Walk!
It's been TWO YEARS since Maddie and I participated in the JDRF Walk for the Cure. Last fall was just too crazy and it pained me to have to bow out of it. I vowed not to let busyness push it out of our calendar this year!! So we are signed up to walk, and … Continue reading October means The JDRF Walk!
Unlikely Lovely
So on Tuesday, I take my youngest, Maddie, to gymnastics at a place here in town called Flip Force. On the way into the building, I notice a patch of tangly wilderness off to the side. I had brought along my sketchbook and oil pastels. "Must see what I can do with that" ran through … Continue reading Unlikely Lovely

So fun to glide the bold color on white paper. To rub the colors into each other. To watch a … Continue reading An Itch to Scratch
A Walk to the Park

We gathered "treasures" along the way: a colorful leaf, and some long-stemmed fuzzy weeds that work great as things to shoot (did you do this … Continue reading A Walk to the Park
It’s not the flowers themselves…
I have an online friend and fellow artist who lives in New Zealand and paints and illustrates beautifully in watercolor. Hanneke recently posted some paintings of flowers and titled her post, "Practicing Flowers". One of the things I enjoy about being a fellow WordPress blogger, is that we can chat back and forth with ease, … Continue reading It’s not the flowers themselves…
Multi-Colored Pens!
I recently went through a phase. Ha! One of many I tend to move in and out of. It keeps things fresh. It keeps me on my toes. Different ways to view and then capture a place or a person. All of my Flexi-Sketch drawings are done with multi-colored pens and Neocolor II crayons added … Continue reading Multi-Colored Pens!
The Fountain. The Fountain. The Fountain…
Well... I think... ...I like this fountain... ...just a little bit. Don't you? Oh, and here and here too! And I have another one...all in watercolor to reveal to you soon! Too Fun! P.S. The Fountain sits in the middle of the courtyard, so you can sit in any spot around it and have a … Continue reading The Fountain. The Fountain. The Fountain…
