The Cyclops Kitten

About two months ago, my husband came home from work a little later than usual. I was not worried; I knew what kept him. My son did not. He was thrilled to see dad walk in with an itty-bitty kitty, our first family cat! We were all so excited. The kitten was so tiny, small enough…

Go With the Flow!

I took my son and his friend to the park about a week ago, bringing my trusty camera to occupy myself. The sky was a beautiful cerulean blue and the clouds casually drifted by. They were wispy and delicate. They eventually created a scene that stretched across the atmosphere. I instantly saw a women, arms…

Beauty Comes and Goes

It had rained a bit over the weekend. I was on my way home about an hour before sunset. The rain stopped and the last of the daylight glistened across the sky. As I turned on to the final road before home, I noticed about six or seven cars pulled over to the side. I…

The newlyweds’ favorite colors are blue and orange, so this became the easy choice for the seahorses. The leaf in the corner is a little accent requested to highlight the…

I was working heavily on the foal with graphite pencil. After a few days of that I became easily bored….

Head in the Clouds

Today was a beautiful, sunny day in my neck of the woods. Anothet day or two of warm weather before the chill comes. That last bit of Summer that won’t give in! I’ve been working outside all year at a thoroughbred brood farm close to where I live. The scenery there is spectacular. I’ve shared…

Changing of the Seasons

Autumn has finally arrived. But before we gear up for hoodie weather and hot chocolate, I wanted to share some of my favorite images from Spring and Summer. I hope you got your swimming and gardening in while you could! The cool air is on it’s way! I will miss the liveliness of the warmer…
