finding a bit of peace and silence in the woods near my home.

there’s just something about taking a walk and listening to the birds that makes all of my ideas and creativity flow.

we’ve actually taken sleds down this staircase when it’s been covered in snow…

and this blue before sunset is one of my absolute favorites. especially surrounded by the dark browns and blacks.

soon this entire woods will be filled with green.

the perfect afternoon for a walk.

Following Your Dreams & Getting Published

Why fit in when you were born to stand out? -Dr Seuss …. One of my favorite things to do is paint at the beach. It’s the desire I first blurted out to an Artist’s Way group in 2009.
