At the pool

 

While sitting at the public pool with the kids I mucked about with watercolor (seemed appropriate). Trying to empty my mind and follow my heart...not always easy, my mind constantly chatters away. I will keep trying!

Me and me bike...

My bike & me today:
Saw: My hubby, great trees to string a hammock between, the houses of parliment, people walking, talking and having fun! Kids on a field trip, Canada geese, pigeons, red wing black bird, a duck catching a fish and eating it, peonies & poppies, beautiful willow trees, water, houses, the view from the wind catch on my helmet, bridge builders, window washers, people reading, where I live.
Smelled: The last drips of perfume from lilacs carried by the wind, the crunch of my tire over those helecopter thingys that fall from trees (Oh wait, I did not smell that, I heard that...I love that sound), someone's perfume, fresh cut grass, rushing water, cool rocks, my sunscreen.
Felt: The wind, the heat, freedom and the big huge smile plastered on my face...a very good day with me bike! Thank you universe:-)

broke the ice!

It's been a while since I have painted without any intended direction. I sat down at my easel and tried to empty my mind of any expectations. This is what happend...not sure if it is finished, will have a look at it tomorrow. The paint was still wet when I took this picture. Felt really good to just muck about. SOLD

Mocha Badness

I loved creating this painting!

Commissioned by a customer to capture the spirit of their wonderful dog. One can assume that by the nickname "Mocha Badness", there was never a dull moment in that household! We wanted to capture Mocha's curiosity as well as her sweet, loving personality. There are hidden messages and personal touches throughout this painting. It measures 36" x 36" on gallery wrapped canvas.
