I was very good to myself this past Christmas! I bought a new camera for recording my online classes. It is a Canon Vixia HF G20 and it is one sweet little video camera. It even has a remote control! This is my little artist taboret! I know it looks a bit dark, but I…
I’ll be back, early in the New Year with my first online class! Til then…..be happy be safe and most of all be loved God Bless
Settling into our second home…..Yuma Arizona….has taken a bit more time then expected. Old friends seem to arrive daily and bumby ball and line dancing are in full swing (pun intended HA!). Just too much fun, y’all! I am also pleased to announce that I will not only be teaching watercolor again this year, but…
We are currently in Fort Stockton, Texas! I had hoped I would have a little more progress on the Raven to share with y’all, but I ended up coming down with a bit of a stomach bug. I’m feeling better and thought I would share some of the great photos I took at the Baton…

Along the way, we discovered this quaint little village if you will….called Lancaster Camp Ground in Pennsylvania. If you follow the link, you can…
I will be sending this little one to his owners now and I shall miss him! I really do feel as though I make a connection with the animals I paint. Those hours at the easel are not just spent with paint and brushes, but a conversation of sorts between me and my subject always…
Remember that first little essay we used to have to write when school started in the fall? You know the one…. “What I did on my Summer Vacation” Here’s mine….so far…. I was by my mother’s side for yet another biopsy done on my step father…..good news no cancer I helped my son and his…
So much is going on here in Indiana. I’ve been cleaning and painting…..painting and cleaning, our house here in Indiana. We put it on the market a couple of days ago and have already shown it twice. We still have painting to do, but didn’t want to lose anymore time for selling….the summer is moving…
