Macaroon 1/2/2020 Got a little caught up in the details resulting in an amorphous-looking treat. I should have gone to the bakery to better research the subject and partake in scientific sampling. macaroon_01022020

Day 14 – furry things. I have several stray cats in my neighborhood. One set is a mama and her baby, another is a calico. The baby and calico have become The Odd Couple, as they often sit in my driveway or on my porch waiting for me to come home and offer up a few ear skritches. I hope to have homes for all 3 soon. furry_things

I don’t have air conditioning so my windows are open at night. It is always a good day when the alarm clock doesn’t wake me up, but the sound of birds chirping does. I’ve done several variations of this little birdie, just ‘cuz it makes me happy. #simplepleasures birdie_TCS

Ocean Creatures: So many of these prompts are mini blasts from the past. Which I’m happy to admit, makes me want to paint more. So here goes… Many many years ago I cared for a saltwater fish tank, and 2 of the several residents were clownfish. They were really fun to watch, and I love how accurate Finding Nemo was with fish “personality”, they…[Read more]

Day 5 Loose and free. Wet on wet is not a style I use, but learning was fun. Will be nice to revisit during the hot, non-air-conditioned, days of August when my usual painting style dries far too fast. 752019_looseandfree_lilacs

Day 3 and 4 Picnic food/family fun. Hey Boo Boo! Growing up our family picnics didn’t have the cute plaid tablecloth, just old forest service tables and benches, a small campfire, and the lingering smell of mosquito spray. I always wanted a cute little basket like the ones Yogi Bear stole. I’m blending the prompts a bit and painting my…[Read more]

A little bit of sunset, a little bit of summer heat. Here’s hoping my habaneros grow before it snows this year. 70219_sunsetcolors_habanero

It has been months since I’ve painted. Time to work out the kinks and get back into the groove. 70119_primarycolors_flags

My painting several years in the making. I started it based on a photo I took, but got frustrated and never finished it. I found it a few weeks ago. The original photo is gone. While it’s not architecturally accurate, I like it enough to make a few cards and gift them away. #pdx pdx_card
