> I painted these eggs on old ivory piano keys. Once again, combining my love of music and nature. I’ve got 13 framed and ready to photograph. I’ll post pictures of them as soon as I take them. Happy almost-Spring!

> I am launching a line of goods featuring my artwork! It will include pillows made of burlap and pillow ticking, purses and tote bags, aprons, cup towels and whatever-else tickles my fancy. I will officially launch in June at Dallas and Atlanta markets. Here’s a sneak peak: The paintings {this is my calf, Gingersnap} [...]

>The weather has been especially harsh lately and I am a wimp, so I have not been going out for my usual walks. This morning was 50 degrees and foggy so I set out with a song in my heart and saw wondrous things:: a live oak in a field of waving, orange grass, the [...]

>hannah’s toms Hannah’s mom ordered these for her for Christmas. What a great idea! taylor’s toms Taylor requested a doodle look for her toms with some specific elements…hearts, peace signs, and palm trees, etc – she lives on the coast.

> This huge moth was in our backyard and my husband, knowing me so well, called me out there to see it. I couldn’t wait to paint it. When I showed it to my 96 year-old great aunt, she identified it, but I will need to look it up to see how to spell it.

> This is kind of a stylized wren, but I think he’s cute and has spunk. Wrens are some of my favorite birds because they are so brave and friendly. They sing a beautiful song, too.

> This sweet little bird was on my bird bath and serves as a reminder to look up. It just so happens to illustrate a verse my friend, Beverly, sent to me this morning, “He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.” Ecclesiastes 5:20 When [...]
