Now here's a few new original paintings I'd like to share...
Bear and His Friends 6x6 in Watercolor on paper

"They were an unlikely trio, the bear and his two raccoon sidekicks, but they simply wouldn't tolerate the nonsense of those who told them they should not be friends. And, despite the gossip, they continued to meet every day at the gray rock to plan their next big (and mostly dangerous) adventure."

The Storytelling Moose 6x6 in Watercolor on paper

"They gathered from far and wide to hear his tales of adventure and heroism,
for he was known to be the best story-teller in all the wooded land."

Now, I've got at least 5 more paintings in the works right now, so come back soon to see more.

Happy Thursday!

my very own terrariums...



It was so much fun to make these terrariums last weekend with my best gal pal
Corrie and such a perfect way to celebrate Spring!  I posted a video a few days ago
that will show you precisely how to make one yourself.  Click here to watch it! 

After our scavenger hunt for goods (which, despite the temptation, were NOT stolen from the park),
we began layering in the materials...rocks, moss, charcoal, soil...

...and greens!  Lots and lots of gorgeous (probably weeds) greens! Plus a mushroom or two... 









They even smell like Spring with the little white and purple blooms next to the mint I plucked from the herb garden.  I hope they live long enough to see their new home (1 more month)!

Happy Spring!
