Today is “Love Your Pet Day.” In my very humble opinion, an animal companion is in our lives to be loved and love us in return. They are with us for such a short time. They deserve to be doted on and spoiled as much as possible and every moment should be cherished, for weContinue reading “Love Your pet day”

Small Paintings and Oopsie
I have some small wooden hearts that I picked up at one of my visits to Hobby Lobby. I wanted to do a bunch of these for Valentine’s Day and so far I have completed four of them. One was a gift for my hubby. The reference from this one is from the Museum App,Continue reading “Small Paintings and Oopsie”
Dog Children and Grieving
Today is the first day that I have been able to sit down and type this. On Monday, January 30, 2023, our beloved Chloe moved on to the Rainbow Bridge. John and I are still trying to make sense of this. One day she was normal and the next, we’re saying good-bye. She was onlyContinue reading “Dog Children and Grieving”
Mixed Media/Collage
Well, it turns out that the Inchie challenge was only 11 days, not 12. I was surprised when I pulled up emails Saturday morning and there was no prompt. Well that was a bummer because the Inchie challenge was fun. I’ll probably keep 2×2 squares with me to work on when I am out ofContinue reading “Mixed Media/Collage”
The Coco Sculpture is finished!
Well Coco is painted. I really like how it came out and it was fun! What a happy sculpture to hang out in my studio.
Horse

Skates
Ellie dreams of being an Olympic figure skater. She practices every day and loves skating in the snow. The creek near her house freezes over in the winter and it is her favorite place to skate. She and her friends create a rink and a track on the frozen creek and they do pretend OlympicContinue reading “Skates”
Puffin
This prompt was easy because I made a pamphlet book for my grandkids a few years ago that was about Arctic animals, puffins being one of them. I have not shown this book outside the family so this is the first time that I can remember actually posting one of the illustrations on my blogContinue reading “Puffin”
Flower lady
Not everything I “find” on a page is an animal. The other day I found a rose, and on this page, I found a lady with flowers, her expression showing us that maybe stopping to smell the flowers and taking that moment for a quick meditation, just may be what the “doctor” ordered.
Albert
Albert was used to being on his own, living free as a bird with no worries in the world. Then he met Esmerelda.
