In the beginning

 


Over time whenever I would visit my girls in Phoenix or when they would come home we would have at least one night of painting.  When I'd go to my mom's (pic above is at my mom's house) we would spend at least one or two evenings painting.

We would look forward to looking up ideas on Pinrest and see what would come of our choice.


Before my youngest moved out we used one of the walls in her room to start a collage of her paintings and mine too.  It was a very cool looking wall with such a huge variety of subjects.

In the beginning it seemed that I could only do cute fat birds, chickens, owls, and frogs.  I couldn't really do landscape or trees very well.  I've since practiced and have found that I can't stop painting trees ha hahaha!

I did this frog for my daddy.  He loved frogs.  Ironically this one was done around his birthday in July of 2020.


My mom fell in love with my chicken! :) I think she named it Penny.

It started back in December, my hands started to give me issues.  I freaked out because you need your hands to do everything!  I also enjoying writing and painting so if I were to get to where I couldn't do those things anymore I would be lost.  Seriously lost! They both have a great deal to keeping me balanced and peaceful in my life.   My right hand started to hurt the worst in my thumb and wrist while all my fingers would ache.  My left wasn't as bad but soon it became the same as the right one. I have arthritis in my finger tips and in both wrist, worse in my right one. Also suffering from De Quervain's Tenosynotitis-a paint condition affecting the tendons on my thumb and side of wrist.  It will take a long time to heal the tendon until then I have to take it easy and go in for shots of cortisone to help. I have had two rounds of shots in my wrists, they hurt so bad also left bruising from the inside out. Then there is the snow! Winter winter.....w...

The Art of Blending

The Art of Blending There’s magic in the way colors meet,   Swirling together, bold and sweet.   With each new blend, I start to see   A world of endless possibility.   Leftover paint on a fresh canvas spread,   Ignites my creativity, clears my head.   Colors dance in a playful flow,   Where they'll lead, I never know.    From the spontaneous swirls arise   New ideas, a joyful surprise!   Some of my best have come this way,   Born from colors that love to play.    It’s freeing, fun, a creative delight,   To blend and blend from morning to night.
