Day 1 at the beach: In less than half an hour of being out on the shore, I chance to look down and see a sea stone...beautifully rounded and smoothed by sand and water. This sets me on a course to find and collect more sea stones and sea glass thru the week.Day 2: Bent … Continue reading Searching & Finding

On Parade
I was in my morning walk "zone", lost in thought, when I became aware that I was being watched. Looking up from sand and shells, I saw seagulls, hundreds of them, lining the beach where waves meet the sand, all of them standing looking my direction. It was as if they had tweeted each other … Continue reading On Parade
Splurging at the Factory
Friday mornings at the Factory here in Kernersville is one of the highlights of my week. There may be only one other than myself, or there might be four of us, but we have such fun drawing and talking together. I'm incredibly behind in showing you the drawings from these sessions, but here's one with … Continue reading Splurging at the Factory
The Beauty of Line & Watercolor
A couple of days ago, Maddie and I sat out in our backyard, in the cool morning, to draw. I had several sketchbooks (as I do when using watercolor, so that I can move on to another drawing while one is drying), pens, watercolors; and she had her big sketchbook, pencil, and markers. When she … Continue reading The Beauty of Line & Watercolor
Extra-Ordinary Lines

Ready Made Frames
Sometimes I look around me and see so many drawings and paintings clamoring to be put down on paper! It's actually making me quite crazy lately!!! I think it's a pattern: during the busiest times of my life (like right now with end of school year, graduation, family events piling up on top of each … Continue reading Ready Made Frames
Blue!
Words at bottom of page: i threw open the blinds this morning and what to my wondering eyes should appear but BLUE SKY beaming back at me! The bluest blue with only hints of white in a few meandering clouds, a streak or 2 where planes had traversed. i held my breath and drank it … Continue reading Blue!
Quaint Alley
Off Main Street, downtown Kernersville (or K'ville, as many of us call it), there's a quaint little alley with a few shops and a restaurant, called the Bistro B. Though you don't see it well in this sketch, the Bistro is directly on your left with tables and umbrellas for dining outside. I have loved … Continue reading Quaint Alley
