Newest story is complete!
I’m happy to announce that Idyllily Wild is finished! It is currently only available on #KindleVella, but the paperback and kindle versions should be available by the end of summer. I’ve really enjoyed writing this book and it’s interesting to see how our main character, Lily, has grown and changed over the chapters. Uncle Nael’s…

Dragon Time!
The question always is, which comes first? The poem or the painting. In today’s case it was the poem and then I created the painting to match my vision of it. I do find that harder than getting the painting first and writing a short story or poem based on that, but sometimes you just…

Living for Likes?
I know I can be a bit obsessive. It’s one of my faults. But I’ve learned that it’s just best for me to let my obsession run its course. I’ll get less obsessed over time. My latest obsession involves checking way too often to see if I have any new likes, comments, or followers on…

Spring Shift
One of my favorite thing about Spring is all the fresh, fragrant smells in the air. You can feel a subtle shift in the outdoors as the air warms, buds and blooms starting appearing, and oh the smells! So delicious. I just want to breathe them in. One of the first things that blooms at…

Light
The inspiration for this watercolor/poem combination comes from some decorative vases that my sister has placed in a window of her home. I love the colors and the way the light and shadows look.

This painting started out with a color idea. I had a specific color combination in mind and every color I chose had to fit the palatte I was going for. I am very happy with the result and I love the colors! I didn’t intend to paint our cabin, but it just happens to be…

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem
When I went to Bible School, one of the most surprising things I learned was how church doctrines have changed and evolved through the centuries as new teachings developed in reaction to perceived errors. For example, Martin Luther’s 95 theses were indictments against the Catholic Church, for doctrines he felt had moved far away from…

The Sturgeon
I love to kayak. I prefer a slow moving river, but even a paddle around the small lake our cabin sits on is a small bit of heaven. There’s just something about the combination of the warm sun and riding the water that makes me immensely happy. So, my painting today was inspired by my…

The Garden Cat
In this painting/writing challenge the painting definitely came first. It’s based on a photo that either I or my daughter took on our most recent all-family vacation with my grown-up children. I just loved the way this cat looked sitting in a decorative wheelbarrow at the end of this beautiful blue shed. Then, according to…

Poetry and Watercolor Fun
With some supplies my daughter, the artist, sent me, I started painting watercolors. I have to admit I wasn’t very good at first, but I enjoyed doing it. I look forward to being able to sit down and paint every day. It’s very therapeutic. But I am first of all a writer so I started…
