the daisies are here

on the sides of the road

filling the fields

oh how i love them!

i know they don't smell very good

but they are sooooo

pretty

yellow and white

on a long green stem

i love to pick a big bunch of them

and put them in a jar

 

i finally finished my

praying girl

and i'm happy with her

then i started the painting above

when i added the solid color

around her

i loved it

and didn't want to do anything else 

to her

so i left her as is

 

i'm loving having my coffee outside, sitting and working

in my artroom (that is partially clean YAY)

puppies in my lap, baby geese, mushrooms sprouting up, seeing a  bald eagle in the field  

 and being able to walk 10,000 steps

a day.

another week has already passed by

Easter has come and gone

summer is going to

be here before we know it

and i will be painting

pretty girls

it's really fun to see them

emerge

painting with no real plans

is different for me

and I truly enjoy it

 

i'm loving the wildflowers, yummy smoothies,

parties at work,

how strong my legs are getting,

and my fitbit that reminds me

to move

 

not loving the pollen

choking my husband

and turning my car yellow



 



lots of spring

 

 

lots of spring is happening and lots of art too.

with this year came schedule changes

and brandnew classes so i've been busy.

i'm loving Lifebook 2017!

learning new techniques, using new materials

all from wonderful
artists online.





             i look forward to my emails each week now.

it's everything my introverted self

could want, staying home and painting.

i don't think I've made this much art in 3 months ever.

 

and spring... sigh...

i really love it. though i am disappointed

with winter. we had very little cold

  and hardly any snow.

i'm loving the wildflowers and moss, and the green popping up everywhere, the trees blooming adding color.

the cool wind, birds singing, water rushing...sigh.

at the river

     Last week was nice and cool,  so we went for a drive to the river. I was wanting to collect some 

     river rocks and Bobby was gonna do some fishing.    

 

 

    The path down to the river was lush and green.  It was filled with small orange flowers that I have

    never seen before.  

 

 

 

 

 

    And the view overhead was just as pretty.

 

 

    The Little Red River

 

 

 

 

 

       Bobby found a tiny brown trout stuck in a tiny little puddle and rescued it.   

 

 

 

     I searched the shore for just the right rocks.

 

 

    In the process I also found three heart rocks. Bobby found one too.

 

   
    This is what I came home with.

   
    And this is what I got them for.
