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.

When Life Hurts
I love it when Facebook reminds you of important moments in your life. This moment popped up from five years ago. “The proof arrived in the mail! There is nothing like the feeling when you first hold a book you’ve been working on in your hand. All of a sudden it has gone from your…
