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

Ginko All The Way! The holiday card painting project is complete. Now to type notes and send to my people. #watercolor #handmadeholiday #art

I love the textured effect kosher salt has on watercolor.

Good morning! This holiday card project is going on forever, and I’m getting jealous. #blueskycats #gingercat #holidaycheer #watercolors

Ginko bells, Ginko bells, Ginko all the way.

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

Good morning Bluesky, says Della. It’s a good day to paint holiday cards with ginko leaves. #caturday #blueskycats #gingercat #catsofbluesky

Out with my favorite hiking buddy at Cache Creek. Granddaughters are the bestest.

Standing guard.
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

It’s at the stare and wait for it to tell me what to do next phase.

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.

This teenager saw me seeing him and tried to stare me down. #owls #birds #owlsofbluesky #greathornedowls #owl

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.

If you see this please repost with a favorite photo of the sky you’ve taken recently.

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

I was very glad to discover this lists feature today. I’m going to go on a list making frenzy.

I like the box but please don’t sous vide me in the new instant pot.

This is what my kitchen table looks like right now. #catsofbluesky and #art for dinner.

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.
