I bought what I hoped would be a warm hat while on a recent trip. During this past week’s arctic blast and snowmageddon, I got to put that hat to the test. It passed with flying colors.

Percolating a painting- what does that even mean?

I don’t know if you’ve noticed how long it takes me between finishing a painting and starting another. Well, it does, but there’s a reason.

I feel very lucky to live in a region where rockhounding for pigment is a possibility. Rocks are everywhere here, and many of them are excellent sources for a range of colors!

Last night (Thursday) while sitting on our balcony looking at stars, I saw the biggest, most brilliant fireball meteor that I’ve ever seen. It was spectacular and I wished I would have had my video ready to capture it.

I’m torn between what to paint next.
