a little something...

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, all safe and warm and comfy. This was my last weekend in Cincinnati. Sophie and I will be heating up the highway today as we head home to Atlanta.

This is a tiny glimpse at my most recent project which I adore - such meaningful words and sweet colors. More pics to come this week.

I hope you enjoy your Monday. Be happy, creative and ready for a wonderful week.

Focus on Life: Looking Up

Sophie and I braved an outing this week, just as the clouds parted - colors vibrant, morning sun. I got my shots (including the third which is my "looking up" entry*) and she got her squirrel time (the stuff that dreams are made of). Everyone came away happy as we made it back to the car before the next drizzle - camera saved.









Have a wonderful weekend.

my sketchbook: love is a verb

Hi there! This is the end result of my color exploration earlier this week. Love is a verb - so true, don't you think?

from Instagram

This was a fun project because I began with a watercolor background then branched out with acrylics for the flowers and words. I likey. Hope you likey, too.

PS: Don't forget to break out your cameras and join Laura this Saturday evening (the 18th) for I Heart Macro!

Have a great day!

paint water inspiration: aqua

Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6



Hello there! Did you enjoy your weekend? We had company and are still recovering from lack of sleep and laughing until our sides hurt (most definitely worth it). Easing into Monday, I thought you'd enjoy a little paint water color inspiration...

Pale aqua is what I saw when I began my latest project which I'm hoping to show you tomorrow.  It's full of spring color beginning with my favorite blues and greens.

Be sure and check out the sources shown above and remember to have a wonderful Monday friends.

i heart macro (and traveling)

Well, maybe more destination than actual road time. I have really taken time away from blogging recently but we've had so much going on in our lives that I felt it necessary. But...yes, I am still alive and yes, things will very soon return to normal around here. Ah, isn't normal a good thing?

Sophie and I traveled north to Cincinnati last Friday and because of a rainy weekend, Mr. P and I (and Soph) had a movie marathon. HIGHLY recommend both Life of Pi (bring your tissues) and Hitchcock (so freaking entertaining!). Along with those, we watched The Avengers, the latest James Bond (hey - I have a hubby who gets a vote) and Guilt Trip. Can you say "couch potato"?



I Heart Macro? Oh yes, the series continues with a regular participant and very lovely new hostess, Laura of Shine the Divine: Creativity is a Spiritual Practice. I Heart Macro will begin again on Sunday, May 19th - one week after Mother's Day. Pull out those cameras, start clicking and visit Laura on May 19th!

Take care friends. See you very soon with new art and goodies and stories of our travels.
