Today in my small town.
Good morning Bluesky. I am forced into an early holiday break on account of a nasty cold. What else to do but paint more experiments with Ginko leaves? No more work until January… heaven. #art #watercolor #watercolorjournaling #watercolors

I didn’t do the #artadventcalendar but wanted to share this photo I made of a box of chocolates with a Nutcracker Suite theme. A gift from my daughter in law who works at the chocolate factory making chocolate all day long. Horrible job but someone has to do it. #photography

My candy jar #terrarium is looking so pretty right now. I had to rescue all these plants from the isopods in my other terrariums, which find these delicious. They have all made a great comeback here. #proudplantmom

Another of the great horned owl chicks of Littleton, CO. Finding this nest was a bright spot in the early pandemic. Spring 2020. #birds #owls #owlsofbluesky #owl

A quiet morning. Perfect for painting leaves. Oh and eating pie for breakfast.

This is a place called Cache Creek Nature Preserve. I take my grandkids there all the time for walks and bird watching. It’s my place of peace.

Fir falls. Completed a few minutes ago. You can’t capture in a photo the iridescent paint which is in the watery parts. Sparkly in the light. Media: Pressed leaves in ink and watercolor.

Works in progress.
I have to stare for a while to know what to do next.
The music? Maybe one day it will sound decent…I plod along in my music reading disabled efforts.

When I lived in Colorado a few years ago I came upon a family of owls under a highway overpass on my morning walk. Right over the metro line. Noisy but safe. Mama came two years in a row to this abandoned heron nest to lay her eggs. #birds #birdsofbluesky #owls #greathornedowls

Work in progress from my leaf art series. I collected these leaves over the weekend from the Mendocino National Forest. When feeling blue, hike in nature, make art. Check and check.

Hi Bluesky, meet Della. A basket full of love. And the loudest cat in existence. I swear she’s the reincarnation of Maria Callas. So dramatic.
