Cork and Cap Fish

acrylic on wood

SOLD

This painting is big. It makes me want to go swimming!

We woke up to a beautiful blanket of snow everywhere,

which is very rare, here in Tourist Central (Myrtle Beach)

My art barn looks picturesque like this!

So, of course, Dixie and her friend Maddi and I

had to make a snowman:

(we set the trend - now there is one in every yard!)

And make snow cream (of course!)

And make art (of course!) experimenting with new techniques

This is my only New Year's resolution this year; it was born from my art journal:

The New Year always makes me want to wear white. Must be something about a fresh start. This year I want to focus on putting even more of myself and all the love that I feel into my art. We've taken down all the Christmas decorations already. The house always looks so empty after that. My mom has been here visiting for a week, so it has been a week of food and fun! Hope you had a wonderful one, too!

My daughter's friend, Maddi, asked to use my barn/studio and my help to paint her hub cabs blue. Of course I had to say yes, because I encourage anyone who wants to express themself. They look wild - I like them!

Dancing Anyway

Here is a flapper dancing the Charleston and being liberated - or "modern" as they called it back then.

Colorful Dragonflies

12 x 5 inches

acrlyic on wood

sealed and ready to hang

SOLD

There are so many dragonflies around my barn this summer. They come and sit on the edge of my workshop bench while I'm prepping wood. They don't even startle when I walk by anymore. I guess you could say they are tame. It is amazing. It makes me feel a teensy bit like St. Francis. And since I believe that the Lord can choose to speak to us through animals, I Googled dragonflies. They mean wisdom, vision, and change.

It reminds me of the time that my friend Janice and I rented horses in the Tennesee mountains. When trail ride was over, Janice remarked about the yellow butterflies that were following my horse, Anne, and me throughout the whole trail ride. I had noticed, but I didn't think anyone else had. It was a magical day.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
