You feel safe and comfortable.”" Jess C Scott This painting was about a herd of horses...traveling together. Made me stop and think about travel in general. Many like to travel alone some do not. Alone it allows a certain freedom not found in everyday life when things are pulling you so many different directions. Some of us have a passion to travel. It offers a new world without limitations. The way my hubby handled it was to go to work for American Airlines. Before we married he loved

It smells wonderful and disinfects beautifully. It works well on stainless, glass, counters, kitchen or bathroom.  Growing up I remember that my grandmother had us use baking soda

Most of us

I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” Marilyn Monroe One of my painted ponies... miss painting these pieces.  New things coming. Spring is here in full force and God reminds me of it all around.  I have been working with artists on websites and of course urge them to use the Squarespace platform.  It is an incredible journey with your website and marketing and selling your work.  I love watching

The lone wolf was a myth.”  John Fowles This one started out different. See the steps below:   Always makes me ponder about humans. God has a plan, he creates this person with gifts apart of their DNA, yet he has given a certain amount of free will to each of us.   I actually like the single wolf in the suggestive stage better than the entire finished painting.  Sometimes in my work, I am beginning to 'get' the thought of being fearless. Not being afraid to mess something up.  There is GO BACK button on the canvas.

I think you get the picture. The second thing I stockpile are towels for the kitchen. I actually buy bathroom hand towels in the colors I need. I buy a mid price towel and I have found they last close to 15 years or more. They migrate from kitchen duty to cleaning duty as they get older and then to rags.  Stockpiling tea towels is another thought. Have you ever counted how many paper towels you use in a single da

Ft Thomas, Kentucky.   I lived there for just less than a year and I knew the day I arrived, my soul felt like it came home.  We had moved from Houston to Ft Thomas during the hot summer. Arriving there the evening temps were low six
