Daylight-Saving-Time Monday

First we need coffee.  So many things are made easier with enough caffeine on board.  This Monday after the beginning of Daylight Saving Time was one such event made possible with coffee.  Whew. Glad that's over.

Spring Dreaming

Well, they weren't kidding about this being a harsh winter here in the Pacific NW.  Seems like it's been one winter storm after another.  I know, I shouldn't complain to those living in places that experience WINTER every year, but we don't live in the Pac NW for harsh winters, thank you very much.  I'm ready for SPRING in a big way.

These are two new paintings from a series of abstract florals inspired by my spring flower fantasies, currently listed for sale on my Daily Paintworks site.

Looking forward to spring

Spring really can't come soon enough.  I know I shouldn't complain, but winter just is not my favorite season.  These paintings can be purchased through my DailyPaintworks site with the link in the far right column.

The season is upon us

Yes, folks, it's that time of year again.  As if the election wasn't drama enough, now we have the holidays fast approaching.  I'll be trying to keep it simple....again.

Newest Totems

The 2016 Whatcom Artist Studio Tour was a great time to meet new people and reconnect with long-time friends of the arts.  I was so happy to be able to open my studio space and share my passion of creativity with those visitors.  Onward toward Christmas.  It is such a quick trip between summer and Christmas.

Change of the Season

One of the memories of my childhood was picking a few Gravenstein apples from the neighbor's apple tree after coming home from school in early September.  Fast forward nearly 50 years and the neighbor's property became my family's property and the Gravenstein tree is in my front yard.  It's a beautiful tree--must be a 100 years old and is still bearing hundreds of apples.

A bit of encouragement

This is the first in what I hope is a series of cards with words to cheer and encourage.  So many people face incredible challenges.  I hope my words will help them on their way.
