Colorado Landscape Painting

And, a new painting!

These are so fun to paint. I have always photographed the Western Landscape – but now, I have a special fondness for paintings of it.

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Mmmm….

These pumpkin spice muffins are delicious! oh, so yummy! Great with the morning coffee. They are simple to make. And, no need for the frosting that the recipe calls for!

Trot over to the pioneer woman’s recipe to make up a batch! Double it – cuz it only makes about 10 small muffins. Yum!

A New Landscape Painting

I’m really happy how this one turned out and my skill is getting better. I started working on 6×6 hardboard and it’s fantastic. I love the way the paint moves and the surface has a little tooth for some texture. Of course, it’s all primed and archival. Lovely!

I think I’m finding my style and I’m ready to start listing them for sale. I was thinking about starting a shop on ebay.

psychology of fear

Of course we have fears. We are human and sometimes it sort-of stops us in our path. When I have a struggle I like to read about it. Get some perspective from other wiser people. So, I looked it up and  found this wonderful article by Rabbi Noah Weinberg at Simple to Remember. It’s about managing and mastering fears and it’s very interesting. My favorite was myth #3 – “Life is boring without fear!”

Whether you’re Jewish or not, his words are very inspiring. I wonder if he has a podcast?

I hope it can help inspire you through some fears, too!

I actually took some notes to add to my inspiration binder. Whenever I am feeling a little… uninspired, I grab it and read through whatever grabs my attention. It’s just a 3 ring binder for now – maybe I will add something pretty to the front.

Uncommon Goods

I was invited to enter the the Uncommon Goods Art’s Competition this month!

I’m pretty nervous and excited. It’s a great opportunity – at the same time there are a lot of entries from around the world! Of course, I am just honored to be invited by the coordinator – Gaby Dolceamore. Yeay! Thanks for the invite!

They would like to reproduce an image as a small print run of 100! Fun!

The voting will start soon and I will post more info here as I know about it!

Here are a couple of pieces I entered.
