One summer day
Just jumping back in with a day, yesterday to be exact. Trying this blogging from my phone thing as it seems I never have time to sit at the computer any more! Bennet has been sleeping terribly and this day woke with a temperature. She went down for an early nap which gave Tuesday and …
Around the house in 15 minutes
Quickly. I finally got to paint without “help” (Tuesday worked near me painting all her canvases pink, but mine escaped her brush). Some of the underpainting Tuesday probably worked on, these canvases have been out for years. Tuesday claimed this one for her room and I’m glad she did. I really like. I think it’s …
Favorite drawing yet

A bit of spring inside
The good thing about having clients to my house is the need to keep it neat and tidy. And it also makes me want to dress it up for the seasons. This is the first thing you see when you walk in our front door. I think this summer I will actually pull this table …
Basement – our painting area
The posts of the basement (play side here, and work side here) don’t show the whole story. We also have an uncarpeted area that is home to storage, a giant bookshelf, laundry area, and now a painting area. I have had the big easel for a while, and the bigger canvas (a gift from Carmen), …
