God gifts each of us with what we need in life. We have to use those gifts or we lose them.  The quote I found today on people came from Maya Angelou. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I found it.  "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."  Maya Angelou The painting is one of my pulled people pieces a...

Henri Matisse What kind of energy do you put out in the world around you?  Do you ooze love, kindness, consideration, empathy...or do you ooze anger, stress, disgust and worry?  We are what we give out to others.  Our life and words reflect what is inside each of us.  Is it har...

It is on sale for $399.  It will require a frame, it is painted on a panel with beautiful thick paint.  The story felt when being painted, was one of finally feeling at 'home' in the house we moved to two and a half years ago.  It always takes a period of time to adjust to a new place and we were really feeling the joy when I painted this one.   I love this quote I found so very much, I may have to use it in...

This is a color palette I have not ever used before. How many racing horses can you find?     How many colors can you find? The colors, riders and horses are unlimited. Your life and opportunities are unlimited. So much is open around you to be apart of life. Giving and living should be the mantra this summer. Are you ready to do it with me?

Summer is upon us. Late evening the blue in the sky fades to a beautiful lavender as we watch the brilliant sunset on the purple skies.  Pure and simple inspiration of colors in this small collectible painting.  Humm, I am suppose to be updating you on our situation.  Well, we added something to our house...any guesses?  Visit my Studio Page on FB and leave your guess.  Wishing you Lavender skies and clear sailing t...

This little gem started with the orange reds in the top corner but I decided I did not want so much orange and pulled in blues whites and pinks.  Yellow came later.  The paint was piled so thick I could draw and carve in it finding edges and lines for my horse. This one really makes me smile!  This is one of those least expected surprised in painting.  I am thankful for each new discovery and...

When you try to drive in a thick fog, you strain your eyes to see through the misty haze, using more intuitive awareness than actual visual awareness.  Scary isn't it? This little collectors piece edges on my Black and White series in miniature. As the paint fell to the surface I felt the movement of the horse more than I actually saw it. My heart knew what to do before my vision did. Learning to trust your intuitive awareness i...

Standing back and coming forward. Debating sizes and places. Deciding on sprinkle colors and wanting to bring the eye into the weave of the pattern of buffalo crossing the land. This is the stage after the blues and violets were painted.... Then came the sunrise on the mesa. Brilliant golds and yellows as I worked in the shapes of the buffalo.   Thought you might want to see a close up of one of the boys.  Patiently I have stayed the cou...
