Last year on Valentine’s Day,  Randy and I found this rock on the edge of a brook.  We thought it was great sign that we found a heart on valentine’s day, when we were newly in love and planning our wedding.

This year we found another sign on Valentine’s Day.  Ironically, it more of a [...]

Winter Blues and Drawing

This winter has been challenging for me.  We have had an usually cold and snowy winter which has kept me in most of the time.  I am an extrovert and need a lot of people around to keep me energized.  I have gradually  felt my energy draining and now I am at a low point, [...]

Pondering About Art Styles

I have done so much art this past week.  More than I’ve done in a very long time.  I got this surge of wanting to do nothing but art.  But I find myself at a stump.  I feel something coming, like a shift in what I’m doing.  Maybe pushing me to a new dimension.  But [...]
