Big round furry rump
Long neck with a rich thick mane
Tail that reaches ground.
Finn has a thick winter coat! Oil pastel sketch.

Winter in the woods
Snow falls and swirls around trees
So quiet, serene.
With a final gasp
All the fall leaves went swirling
Winter took up rent.
Here’s a little stitching.
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?
Think the heart matters
Life will tug at you in ways
And still you love, still.
Just a stunning fall. Went for a walk with my big furry boy Finn.
The heat is on now
As we pull out Nanny’s quilts
To keep our soul’s warm.
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.
Around each corner
Is an explosion, autumn
A jewel-toned show.
Who were you before
The world made its fast imprint
On your soft young soul.
