Our Spring weather has been cold and full of rain. I have been doing artwork when I can not be gardening or on the golf course...making lemonade out of lemons  I have added about 5 pages to my blog you will need to keep scrolling down  and go to about 5 older posts to see it all.
Some artist have a gallery with wine and cheese --I guess this blog is my gallery party--inviting you to see my work:)

2013 has found me pursueing creativity with paper, pencils, paints and mixed media tools.
I have been self learning via books, videos, exploration of products.
In May I joined a group of artist (1100+) doing workshops provided by 31 Secrets 2013.
Here is some of the art work I have done the past 4 months.
