did you see the buds



I love forsythia bushes. The great sign that spring is here. I know the picture is not that great but I did try to sharpen it so that one might see the little buds of flowers popping out. Hooray spring is springing.

This is where Cora will be staying while she is over here in England, although, I don't think she that she will be seeing it much as we are going to take her as much as possible to paint, draw and see the sites.

where is the warm weather


Been waiting like for so long for the weather to warm up so I can get out to paint. I am getting an itchy painting finger. Inside jobs just dont cut it. Used a little picture of a kid with an attitude. LOL

just checking.



Working out some new images for painting ideas. I have so many images on my computer that I get delirious. Well the kids and I went to a horse plowing event during the summer at Howell Farms. http://www.howellfarm.org/ I took alot of pictures while we were there. I have this picture of the farmer checking the produce. It looks like there is a possibility there so I may sketch it out.

catching some rays




Dogs always love to sit and catch some sun. That was a nice light and shadow shot. Dylan on the other hand was so so so wanting to be able to draw and paint like me. I can tell you there was a bit of an upset because he couldnt do it. For 6 years old I think he draws rather well and I encourage him to draw. With a little help with the drawing he got to color it and I promised to post it on my other blog if you follow.

marshmallow world






I wonder if the cold slows down computers. It took me a long time to get these uploaded. The video from you tube says it all. I am living in a marshmallow world. All big puffy blobs of it. Snow looks so pretty in the early morning hours and it makes the world look so clean. That is until the plows start mucking up the pristine scene of pure white touched by the colors of dawn.
