Spring - at least for a few days

I love this beautiful website where I get to visit

every week with some fabulous artists. I know

that we are not all aligned philosophically,

politically, or geographically. In sharing our art

we also share a little bit of ourselves, opening up

to new ideas and a broader look at our world. 

Thanks to Kristin and Eva for hosting this

weekly art exhibit called: Paint Party Friday.

Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers.

I think my mouth is healing well from the

tooth extraction and implant.

The daffodils that my dh had planted in the woods are

blooming like crazy. So good to be able to see them

and remember the fun but tiring times when they were planted.

I tried to paint a tulip from a screen shot of my niece's

beautiful flower, but we all know that the "light" colors

are not the same as the paint or ink colors on paper.

My watercolor class had a choice of what to paint.

I chose to paint the weathered posts and water.

I played around with watercolors and did this strange looking woman.

I cut up part of the silhouette reeds painting

and made a sympathy card with it.

and finally I am showing an activity I will

be doing with children at church. They are

studying Zacchaeus (Luke 19:3).
