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.

It's funny, or perhaps a bit odd, what an artist might save because the thing is interesting. All sorts of objects are inspiring to me, including these broken bits of green glass, formerly a party punch cup.

It, like that glass in the bathroom, slipped out of my hand onto the concrete not long ago. Not a good mix: gravity, glass and concrete.

Thank you for the kudos, Suzanne. You've truly made my day.

It's so nice to know others connect with the very elements of why I've painted a little study like this. I was thinking this would be super interesting as a really large wall painting commission.
