Memory Lane on Monday
Monday rolls around with jet lag dogging my heels. The only problem with that, is I haven’t been on a plane. Monday’s post, as you know is usually out by 6am. I rise early, wake the birds and finish my post. Not today. Today, I’ve had a siesta. A postponement. But, enough procrastination! Time […]

Silly Saturday: Yellow and Greens
A Silly take on last Saturday’s whirlwind trip. I’ve created an Abstract acrylic painting on canvas using the palette knife in fun swirls of yellow, greens, blues. A bit of silliness, never hurts! My interpretation and explanation for ‘Silly’ today, is simply that the yellow represents the lovely yellow shirt our granddaughter wore when […]

This not quite hidden grove of towering old tingle trees is also known as The Ancient Empire. What a fascinating and mysterious name for these magnificent […]

Teal Lagoon Watercolor
Silly Saturday’s artwork was inspired by a trip to Yanchep National Park, in Western Australia. The lake and lagoon had lovely “S” curves that I thought served well for “Silly Saturday” initials today. (And, I’m back on cobalt teal.) First, a sample of what the view of the Yanchep parkland lagoon looked like. […]

Rose, Gold and Green: A Colorful Window
Strolling along the lush tree lined, cool side streets of Balmain N.S.W., last month provided quite a few treasures. One of these was this jewel-like window, a stunning stained glass design of bright emerald and rose and garnet hues. The lovely golden topaz rectangular band anchored the design perfectly. Perhaps I edged a tiny bit, […]
