Spring brought  some foggy and frosty early mornings.
Which is what inspired the picture below.

It has been a busy summer, alas it's over now and already I miss it.  
 Now I really must do some new posting!   
Will get at it ASAP!

Opps I just about forgot about this one!

This is painting is of a Hawaiian Monk seal, that we were sooo lucky to have greet us on our first morning while visiting Maui this winter.  (sooo lucky because this is an endangered species)
He/she just took advantage of the surf and rode it right up onto the beach and then settled down for a nice nap in the sun.
Painting the surf was quite a challenge but fun! 
 And it gives the picture life!

Sure sign of spring, crocuses and bees!

I took a few pictures of my crocuses (ok this was a couple of months ago) and the bees were buzzing about,  so I was trying to get a shot of the bees on the flowers, usually to no avail, the bee would be gone by the time the camera clicked or so I thought. 
Then when I put the pictures on the computer and this one popped up,  . .  very lucky shot! Just had to paint it!

. . . and here are a few new things!

Both of the following pictures were inspired by photos shared with me,  once I saw the photos,  I knew I had to paint them!  Once I started I was possessed and I'm pleased with my accomplishment!
I hope you will like them too!

Quilt Still in the Making

After hours of happy sewing the quilt is coming along, very nicely.
All thats still needed now, is the edging (finishing) and it'll be done.
Notice there is still wool left and yes there is still fabric left too! 
 . . so another quilt must be considered!
