A Creative’s Summer Gardening

If you feel something wonderfully warm, if you hear something stretch within itself, it’s my squash. ❤️ ❤️ 

In the North we grew so much squash everyone would come to church with grocery bags full of the stuff. We would look at each others’ bags and try to give it away to someone, anyone!  This is the first time in 19 years, since we’ve lived down here, that I’ve been able to grow squash.

We shall see if it can stretch itself into yummyhood before squirrel, opossum, coon, humidity, mysterious phenomenon or Act of God takes it out. We shall see.  Artists are forever optimists.

Oh, the beauty with which God has surrounded us! Thank you, Lord!!

Onion Painting

There is nothing like pen and watercolor for me. Actually, for this one I added acrylics and gold, so let me rephrase that... There is nothing like mixed media art for me.  One of my favorite things is layering the colors so that you can see the different colors blending through previous layers. As a musician I like complicated music layered with a lot of different instruments, beats, voices and harmonies going on simultaneously. The same goes for my taste in art. All this to say, isn’t this a lovely onion?  And the good news is that you too can own this complex beauty celebrating an aromatic blend of colors and mediums. Find it on my website,
