I wasn’t going to do a live painting show today, but then this crazy year deserved a proper goodbye. I had words swirling through my head all day, things I’ve been meaning to say, but now I can’t think of anything. I’ll leave you with this video I’ve made – the highlights of this crazyContinue reading “Goodbye 2020!!!”

Today I painted this small seascape that I’m quite happy with. I might do a few more of these. I also got my dog a new harness, which she hated at first but seems to tolerate actually, and which might improve our experience on walks. And a friend came by and brought us flowers. TheseContinue reading “Small Seascape”

A fun day containing an author interview for a podcast, a very special gallery visit, and a short Skype chat with my old lizard, perhaps a bit one-sided since she can’t hear me, but she did get to see me and say a few things. She said she could see that I’m taking care ofContinue reading “What Do Giraffes Want?”

The last full moon of 2020 is a full moon in Cancer, inviting us to go within, which is what I’ve been feeling lately anyway. I started up my yoga practice again. In the evenings, by candlelight, I like to do a little yin. This is what the water lilies look like in the darkContinue reading “Last Full Moon of 2020”

This small painting is fun and magical! It’s just something I felt like playing with today. It’s been a mostly quiet day: ordering copies of The Glory Days of Aimée Bonnard for backers, influencers, and top readers, walking around outside to take advantage of the nice weather, cooking a little bit, doing a little yoga,Continue reading “Starlit Sky”

Today I bought myself something real pretty: fennel! I’ve always thought this was a beautiful vegetable, and it’s actually not my first time painting it. I had a really nice day in other ways as well. The weather was lovely, and a very good friend, whom I haven’t seen in months, came by for aContinue reading “Fennel”

Matilda the vintage carousel horse wishes you a Merry Christmas! And here are some pretty photos and collages I made with my books.

After weeks of working on them, the water lilies are finally complete. There were a lot of other nice things about today too – a quiet Christmas Eve with oranges and only the one explosion of noise when John paid me an unexpected visit. He’s not the only one who does that, though. One ofContinue reading “Complete”

Added color to the carousel horse today. Did a little bit of shopping, ordered some essentials from Amazon. I didn’t feel like cooking or doing much, but I did get oranges delivered, good sourdough bread for thick French toast on Christmas morning, salmon for a healthy dinner, and I even have a small Panettone. BecauseContinue reading “Oranges and Panettone”

I had to run two unexpected errands today – one was the UPS store, which had me in fits of anxiety but ended up being ok. The other was something much more pleasant. And it included a surprise. There in the lobby of a business, where I presented myself properly masked, was a beautiful colorfulContinue reading “Unexpected Carousel Horse”
