Yellow and bright, a happy colour–I love sunflowers. They make me smile.
It is a simple way to bring a little cheer to your day; grab yourself a bouquet or for someone you care about. It can make a difference.

do what you love
It makes a happier you. I find it so true for me.
Doing what you love gives you that feel good feeling; and I believe it is infectious–it’s a good thing. We need “feel good” shots daily–makes us a better person, makes for a better day and who knows it can touch others in a good way.
Doing what I love gives me joy. Try it.

fall season
Fall season brings a softness in the air and a feeling of a blanket being thrown over nature before the winter season comes. 
blogging daily for 30 days!
Oookay.
Yes I am putting myself out there. My aim is to blog daily for 30 days. I have many things to say and then when I try to pin one down it just slips away. Maybe I’ll just ramble on and see what happens. I have projects on the go and the most important is my art show (in my studio) coming up November 10th. I have a lot of small paintings, note cards, and handmade art journals. But before I get into that I think I better post this. It’s only taken me half the day to pick out a photo to attach to this post which is appropriate in my thinking. So here goes…
Shadows and silhouettes
This all came about from a walk on a sunny morning on the beach. I saw my shadow and loved the shape it made on the sand so I took some photos on my phone. This is how this idea progressed (and I actually documented it!).
Taking a photo (one of many) on the beach.
Drawing it out in my sketchbook/art journal
Then I made a few stencils and have a series of paintings called Shadows & Silhouette Ladies. Here’s one of them.
…oh my, I actually posted something.
