It is time for me to reorder Heart of the Hills, my original coloring book, AGAIN. It is time for me to reorder Heart of Mineral King. WHAT?? I’ve only had it […]
Mineral King Coloring Book Has Arrived!
Yesterday, the Mineral King coloring book arrived. Heart of Mineral King is the title, and it has 12 pages to color, plus some wildflowers on the insides of the covers. (One of the 12 pages is the title page, and 4 of the pictures are from the previous book, Heart of the Hills.) A friend called me […]
How to Order a Coloring Book
Ordering a coloring book from my website is a bit of a project. If you have ordered, you know that I email to ask for your address, even though you entered all the info while ordering. My website is a little out of whack, and I don’t know why. Sigh. It just happens. Today I […]
Coloring Book Report
Whole lotta reporting going on this week. While preparing for the Redbud Festival, I decided to add a few more oil paintings and finish the giant painting of the Oak Grove Bridge. Then I wisely decided my time was better spent elsewhere. So, I began working on a new coloring book design. No telling how […]
Redbud Report Continued
Yesterday I told you that fifty-eight coloring books, Heart of the Hills, sold during the annual Redbud Festival in Three Rivers.

I’ve been painting a few pieces to add to the collection for sale, in case anyone is interested in anything […]
Are You a Colorist?
Are you a colorist? This is a word invented for adults who like to color in coloring books. About 10 years ago, a friend in a high-powered, high-stress job confessed to me that she liked to color at work when it all got to be too much. I went online to find coloring books and […]
Three Rivers Spring Mini-Tour
The last several weeks have been full of coloring books and an oil painting commission of a Three Rivers house. Meanwhile, it is BEAUTIFUL out. Spring is fabulous in Three Rivers (everywhere, yes?) so I took a little tour. Come see these things with me. Climbing roses are hanging upside down. See? They are on […]
Remember When Life was Simpler?
Life used to be simpler. We have gizmos, devices, technology now that is supposed to make our lives easier, but think about these things: Remember when your phone didn’t follow you everywhere, demanding continual response? Remember when you could just go to the doctor and get help without filling out reams of papers, and wondering […]
