Today’s post is about beauty, because April is beautiful around here. Color and light is a source of inspiration for paintings. (Detail and light inspires my pencil drawings.) On my way down to work at the Mural Gallery I stopped in the usual turnout for a photo of the lake. On the way home, I […]
Flowers: Wild and Domestic
There is a beautiful world outside of the studio, so we can’t be using up the glorious month of April simply showing you layers of paint as it dries on the canvas. OUT AND ABOUT IN MY YARD P.S. Happy Birthday, Mom!
Some People Dislike Mondays
I’m not one of those people. The only day I don’t like is any day I have to go down the hill. But I only dislike the day while I am fixin’ to leave, because in spring, the drive is beautiful. Going down with a list of stops doesn’t make me happy, so I try […]
More Spring in Three Rivers

Just Photos of Three Rivers in the First Half of March

As I walked, I kept smelling something that I couldn’t identify. It was a good smell, and one that I hadn’t noticed before. It […]
Further February Meanderings in Three Rivers
Today we will have a few more quiet photos. Tomorrow I will put my work face back on, pick up my pencils, and soldier onward.
Meandering in Three Rivers in a Beautiful Month
I’m tired of friends’ fathers and husbands dying. So, today we are just going to quietly enjoy a few photos. To be continued tomorrow.
Walking in Nice Places
Let’s just enjoy some photos today, no chitchat about going to town, no stressing over prices, no struggling with plein air painting. Another walk, another lake, in another town.
