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

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

Another old painting I recently finished. Makes me want to find the old college architecture book I was given. greenshutters_card

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
