This image just popped up on my photo memories. It’s one of my very first watercolor paintings from years ago. 😊 I wonder where it is…

Since I’ve been in such a funk for the past 3 months and creatively blocked, unable to paint, here’s an older painting from 2018.

Today, at my yrly physical, I had to draw the face of a clock with the time 11:10. The young aide then did an image search on Google to see if it was correct! She didn’t know how to read a clock! Did I teach her? You bet I did! I feel old now.

A creative mess is better than tidy idleness. Until it isn’t! I just spent the last two days cleaning up and reorganizing my office/painting space. Let’s see how long this will l last! 😂

Today, while buying some mat board, a woman came in with an ORIGINAL Morten Solberg watercolor of an owl! I gasped when I saw it! An original! With stray paint splatter on it! The detail in this owl, incredible. She was looking to sell it, so I offered her $50. Unfortunately she declined. Darn! 😂

I’m having too much fun painting with these granulating watercolors! Plus, with all the chaos and evil happening in our country and around the world, it calms my soul and gives me a few hours of joy.

I'm excited to give the demonstration tonight for the Pikes Peak Watercolor Society. (Which I'm a member of. 😊) I'll be demonstrating how to achieve great granulation with watercolors. I'll be painting something similar to this.

My heart goes out, again, to those parents who’s children were either lost or shot. 😢 Why is it all these deranged 🐓💩 shooters always go after innocent, defenseless children?

FB: they’re painting the US side black! Is that to keep us in? Idiots🤦♀️ Mexico is painting beautiful murals on their side❤️There goes another $500M of our taxes wasted on a needless thing. Think of all the US artists the govt could hire to paint murals on our side👀

There is a Cooper’s Hawks nest a block from my home. The babies fledged 3-4 days ago. Today while walking my dog and picking up her business, I looked up and all 3 babies were perched on a car watching us! 😍

Look who turned six years old today! To celebrate she got to romp in a creek with her friend Mia. But, Quinn being Quinn and a ballaholic, she found not one but FOUR tennis balls that were either in the bushes or hidden in creek debris! 🎾 🤦♀️ I love my happy-go-lucky ballaholic dog! 🥰

May was a busy month working in my gardens. They are flourishing from all the rain we had, and so are the weeds! I’ve had little time to paint, so I’m sharing a pic my photos highlighted today. I started out painting seashells in 2018 and doing watercolor batiks.

My longtime friend passed away last week. I wanted to paint something to remember him. I had no idea what I was going to paint, I just let the paint and colors flow, and this emerged. I think I’ll title it “Grief: When you can’t see the forest through the tears.”
