hi

it has been a while! i thought since i haven't been painting in so long, i would share what inspires me. my need to create is still here and i have been knitting obsessively and spinning a bit, too. i will post some of that here, too.

what moves me.. handmade featherweight potteries by jurgen lehl found on remodelista.

quiet little trees

quiet little trees

6 x 6 acrylic, pencil, paper on wood

these quiet little trees arrived when i was so tired, i just wanted to go to bed.  they brought joy to my sleepy eyes.  little pink showing thru, i love it!  this 6 x 6 is the perfect size to get thru a painting at the end of a chaotic day.  who needs ice cream to get thru when i can paint another little delight?  enjoy!
