Every time I shop at Walmart I have this thought. It hits me square in the face somewhere about the chip aisle, which seems to be crammed with carts and vendors stocking shelves. Someone's unhappy baby begins to wail somewhere in the store. The child's blood-curdling screams echo throughout the fluorescent lighted warehouse-like box. … Continue reading I was not made for this!

Snow-capped Bales
Snow-capped Bales. Watercolor. 9"x12". Mr. Whicker had some hay bales dropped off on the wide end of his field up on Silver Dapple Lane. Seeing as how I LOVE hay bales, I just had to draw them with their snow hats on. As I walked in the freshly fallen snow last Wednesday, Mr. Whicker came … Continue reading Snow-capped Bales
*Magic*
Narnia My Backyard. Watercolor. 9"x12" As the world outside my windows begins, ever so slowly, to be veiled in white, a sense of anticipation and longing fills the hours. Everyday tasks take on a not-so-everyday glow. A trip to the grocery store becomes an adventure. Laundry becomes lighthearted. Cooking simmers with unprecedented warmth...chili, cornbread, rice … Continue reading *Magic*

Winter Drawing Spot
For the last few weeks, as the cold weather has set in, we've been drawing downtown INDOORS at Eclection. Debbie, my drawing friend, and I enjoyed this spot all last winter. We've been delighted by the new addition to their space. The front area has been transformed into a lounge area for all the wine … Continue reading Winter Drawing Spot
Beyond Imagination
In the daze (days) following Saturday's Book Signing and Art Show, I haven't quite known how to blog about the event. From almost the moment I walked into Southwinds Gallery at 3:45 until I stepped out the door at 6:15, it was at the same time-- a blur AND a piercingly memorable evening. I had … Continue reading Beyond Imagination
Just For Fun!: A Key to Artful Living
The next time you have a creative idea in mind, and you keep talking yourself out of it, try this: "OK, I'll do it, but just for fun!" And then begin, just for fun. Keep going at it, day in and day out, but only for fun! Think of your project lightheartedly. Shew away any … Continue reading Just For Fun!: A Key to Artful Living
