Whose fields these are… Whose fields these are I think I know… His house presides o’er fence below. His cattle say their grace each day Content to watch and eat and stay. The fields, they hum a beckoning tune- To roam, to fly, to surf their dune, To live … Continue reading Whose Fields These Are

This One Makes Me Smile
Another Friday morning in "France"... 😉 aka. downtown Kernersville, I was on my own this particular day so I chose a view I might not have done had there been others with me.

Rhodos As High As…
Directly behind our house is a rhododendron bush. It's blooming like crazy right now! It's huge...reaching up beyond our high back deck.

Even if family does not invade the morning will still dissipate… for I begin … Continue reading 5:30 am
It’s Not About the Drawings
Friday mornings are fast becoming a favorite part of my week. A few artist friends and I are meeting up downtown K'ville to draw/sketch/paint our little town. As I mentioned in this post, I feel like I've stepped into a little slice of France...or England, or Italy... and I'm giddy to be getting it down … Continue reading It’s Not About the Drawings
