I appreciate having this farm, trees, and mountains to gaze upon every morning. #Scape #landscape #mountainscape #farmview The spring rain has blessed the land in Asheville and given us green fields again, and blossoming trees.

Good morning from Asheville. Spring has started turning farm fields green and the redbud trees are beginning to show their color.

#AcrylicOnCanvas painting of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the Fields at Biltmore by Raphaella Vaisseau (sold). A few years ago these fields had a 6 ft wildflower border. Wonderful.

My day as an artist included grant applications, spreadsheets, paper, errands, filling online orders, organizing, making prints, coaching, planning, and kitty love. Tomorrow I’m back in the studio. I love it all. Here’s a 24x24 #acryliconcanvas “For the Bees” www.heartfulart.com/Merchant2/me...

I love taking my art to the framers. Elizabeth at Blackbird Art & Frame in Asheville has great ideas on how a frame could complement my art. Here’s a glimpse of “Symphony of the Sea” watercolor painting with an artful frame. A lavender reveal & an 8-ply off-white top mat.

“Window” a watercolor painting I did in 1991. I wrote this in my book of paintings:
“Window: Frosted glass on a cold Minnesota winter evening. Rain steaming up a mountain cabin on a hot summer’s day. A prism through which to see the beauty of the world. An opening.”

I went to church with my neighbor a few weeks ago and stared at this beautiful stained glass window for most of the service. #BlueSkyArtShow #windows

Snow on the farm overnight, with clouds obscuring the mountains. Good morning to you 🎶 Wishing you peace today.

My friend Leana @leanam.bsky.social and I bought each other’s prints and went to Blackbird Art and Frame together yesterday. Looking forward to seeing the final results in our homes.

Book launch tonight at the #Asheville downtown library. I’ll read my essay. Fun to do a book reading again. It’s been decades since I lived in LA and read my stories out loud to people.
✨ It’s been 5 months since Hurricane Helene. The book is here: a.co/d/0qYxA9A
