Turning

When the shapes emerged on this piece, I imagined that the leaves would all be green. But as I pulled out my watercolors and started painting, the leaves wanted to be turning.
I suppose that’s as good a metaphor for life as any. We are always in a state of flux, after all.

This is what it feels like to live a full-color creative life: always in a state of bloom!
Dreaming & Dancing

Ah, dance. It was my first creative passion, and although I have many other passions I love and adore, I believe to this day that nothing makes me happier than dancing.
Many things may make me as happy, but nothing makes me happier.

“Hmmm… What if I use that Derwent Graphitone on unprimed wood?” That “what if” place is my FAVORITE!!! I haven’t been there in awhile, and am excited to get back!

Sometimes a girl’s just gotta work a little bigger. After over 100 6×6″ and 5×5″, 12×12″ feels so spacious!
Starting with Derwent Graphitone 8B, dipped in water. Loving the line quality!

Have you ever seen a flower just before it blooms, and then again just after? Magical, isn’t it?
Turtle Tricks

When I was a kid I got a red-eared turtle. I named him King Turtley. He was about four inches long, and lived mostly in an aquarium (terrarium, really, as it had dry spots).
Sometimes, though, I’d take him outside, usually on days when I was cleaning out the terrarium. I’d put him on the lawn and he’d wander around, the blades of grass like small trees to him.
I still love turtles. Something about them just touches a tender, sweet spot in my heart.
This guy is entertaining the fish, drawing quite a crowd.

When my life is going well, it feels like this — expanding, growing, stretching, reaching.
