I often wonder what people are thinking when they view a painting.
Maybe it touches them in some way and stirs a personal memory.
So in todays painting I wanted to convey that perspective.

"Reading and Writing"

I really love good books and writing pens. There is
something marvelous about touching a special pen
to paper that can't be beat or getting lost in the
pages of a story that stirs my imagination.

I don't think I need to say much! I'll let you

The painting on the wall is imaginary and loosely
based on an old photo from the 1800's.

LET'S GET PICKLED!

My mom use to love pickled foods. I remember that she use to

make her own canned pickles, tomatoes and some jams & jellies.

Of course, today, most people just buy them at the grocery but

they never taste the same as mom's!

"Springtime Daffodils" - sold

I am really enjoying some of these new and different sizes of

canvas. They fill those small spaces on the wall and inspire new

ideas, like doing a painting of my favorite flowers in a tall glass vase.

One of our first signs of spring. I am always so happy to see them in

full bloom but also get a bit sad because they leave so quickly.
