| Blackberry Blossom ... field sketch |
This is a very quick blog post to let you all know I've been busy, having a hard time finding time to write. I guess I should confess and admit I finally got a bee in my bonnet to sort though a lot of STUFF that has been accumulating. Life was simpler when we got transferred every 2 or 3 years. Now we've lived in one spot for over 30 years. Oh my gosh! all the stuff we've accumulated.

But I do try to find time to do a little art no matter how busy I am. I feel as though I get rust in my veins if I don't pick up a brush or at least a pen on a regular basis.
These are all painted about the size of a post card..... fun to paint. And most are field sketches like this daisy and butterfly painted at Sough Sough Reserve.
This one I did spent more time on. Our daughter and her husband recently bought a 'transit van', a small utility van. They've fixed it up for camping trips and quick day trips out into nature. On their first trip out they went to a nearby lake and heard a loon, a barred owl and a kingfisher -- a good omen for future trips!
Loved seeing these in person but they are pretty wonderful in print too. Really love that last one with the three birds, it would be a great illustration in a book. Its interesting what will inspire us.
