Election Day

We all wait for the

Results we were voting for

All humans with hope.

No matter who you voted for, my hope is for our country’s leadership to come together for the good of the whole.

Is this possible?

Fall Trees in Watercolor

I taught a wonderful group of eager folks today at the NC Botanical Garden.

My style of teaching is to show several demonstrations of techniques and then invite each student to paint what inspires them.

It’s alway so rewarding to see how individual each painting turns out.

This is my demo painting. I added some details back in my studio with pen and ink.

Trail Ride

Sun dapples on trail

Clip clop of horse hooves through rich

Autumn kissed forest.

Finn and I walked for a couple of miles through beautiful fall-like trails. He was such a good boy!

Scrutiny

Watched with a hawk’s eye

Critical observation

No love accomplished!

If you have ever felt judge and watched and criticized, you know that you were bound to fumble.

On the other hand if you have been lifted with confidence and praised, you are bound to soar above your challenge.

Never allow people to disbelieve in you.

Only Believe in yourself!! You are great! Keep at it!!

Me and my boy Finn bareback!!!!
