As an avid gardener, it is truly difficult to pick a favorite #flower but the #daylily is definitely one of my favs! Too bad the voles in my garden have chewed up the roots of at least a dozen!!!!! #eastcoastkin #daylilies #gardener #flowers #SMArtist #artyear #flowerphotography #digitalart

My entry for the #BlueSkyArtShow is called Mayan Dream. #Acrylic on #canvas this image was inspired by a tapestry I purchased in Cancun, Mexico which depicts Mayan deities.

I just love the built in arches supporting the structure of homes in Pont-en-Royans, France. A little side trip on our drive from Lucerne to Provence, and very much worth the drive!!! #BlueSkyArtShow #arch #france #PontEnRoyans #landscapephotography #photography #colorful #MarchIntoLandscapes

Today we have an #arid climate with this #monotype of one of my favorite places, #SantaFe #NewMexico. The base print was done in water soluble inks & colored pencil work, over which an oil #glaze was added.

To me all of the homes in #SantaFe are just that, little doorways of delight. This #monotype was softened by using pastel and colored pencils afterwards so I am applying #soft from #makersmarch as well! #artyear #printmaking #printmaker #mixedmedia
