Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and often finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

Diana, what a wonderful message this maple seed series conveys. It's inspiring for anyone endeavoring to accomplish anything new in their life. I can relate.

Donna, thank you! I appreciate you stopping by.

Silvina, I really like that correlation! This will be an especially good principle for me to remember in the coming months as I pursue some new ideas!

Kudos always appreciated, Bill! I had a lot of fun with these little garden annoyances which turned out to provide some good lessons.
