Today we were blessed with snow.We don’t often get snow here in far west Texas so it sure is a dream. The girls are going to have a blast running and playing in the snow then hot chocolate afterwards…snow angels..snow ball fights…So we got a universal love note…Enjoy your day!

Changing Skies, changes on the horizon

These are some paintings from a series of landscapes I painted just recently. I paint textile designs, rug designs and home decor as well as faux work.

I was feeling a change coming about …so I decided to paint the vast and changing skies of Texas where we live in the far western borders called the Big Bend.

We are selling our off grid Adobe home and it makes me sad but happy for the people that will eventually live here. It is amazingly peaceful. You are serenaded at night and awoken in the morning by choruses of bird song. Wildlife roams freely. It is a creative persons dream home. I have been more productive in the 8 years we have lived here than in any other home I have lived in. So as I know changes are on the horizon….I am sure it will benefit all. Because in the end change is the only thing we can depend on…..have a great day!

These are terrific illustration ideas to use for honing your drawing skills. I truly love this idea when I am stuck and want to see a different way, see more detail, or just plain play around with my drawing time…
