Been teaching kids art for 5 years in this town. Some kids have been w/ me all 5. Yesterday I told them I was quitting due to a big project. I really want this project! The new teacher is great! But wow it was hard to tell them. Their unison shout of NO! You can’t! -both touching & tear inducing!

I just spent the last 20 minutes rearranging my workspace so I could use this comfy chair today. Only to turn around just as I finished to see this! And, of course, I'll wait for him to move... 🙄😻🐈‍⬛. #catsofbluesky #siamese

Step one of journal cover doodled while listening to @bethmoorelpm.bsky.social live stream about Ecclesiastes. I listen better while I draw. Do you?

Seems like a good day to find a smile somewhere. Jasper wants you to see his cute little toe beans. #catsofbluesky #cats #blueskycats #artyear #womensart #siamesecats

I love to draw bunnies. This checky guy is graphite and charcoal. Have you tried Derwent tinted charcoal? They are earthy colors and quite enjoyable. #pencildrawing #pencilart #petportrait #artistonbluesky #fineart #painting

In the midst of everything, just stop for a brief moment. Take a slow breath and take in the beauty and perfection that is blue Morning Glories. Now take another slow breath and proceed with your day perhaps just a little refreshed. #garden #flowers #artyear #womensart #photography #nature
A large cluster of green vine and leaves with blue morning glory flowers shaped a little like the bell of a trumpet. It is all draped over a terracotta colored wooden fence that can only be seen a little under the vines.

When children make art they do so with creative abandon & joy. My goal is not that they would produce perfect replicas of my examples. Rather that they see the steps, process them on paper for themselves, then to be free to turn it into their own creative expression. My Fall Classes begin this week!

I love Lantana! It just grows. It doesn't care if it hasn't rained for a while. It doesn't care if its HOT! It just stays and makes flowers for you like a good friend. I have them in pink, orange, and yellow. #garden #flowers #photography #summer #friends #colors

When Bo became elderly, windy winter walks were uncomfortable for him. So my daughter made him a scarf. He absolutely LOVED it!!! Look at that face! #petportrait #dogsofbluesky #dogs

To those who know and celebrate Easter. A most blessed Resurrection Day to you. I am thinking of those who were there the first Easter & how they knew hope & wonder like they never imagined. #Easter #Jesus
