grabbed a few vaca days & PPF check in!









EXPRESSION!


(His creation ...)











and mine ...


Paint Party Friday arrived at the perfect time for me ... thank you Kristen and Eva! Focusing on, and strengthening my God given talents and liking how that feels, has added new direction to my quest. I grabbed a few vaca days this week with Rog (thx to Larry and Miriam), saw a real live manatee just passing by, started a sketch book/artist journal (again), found my 20 year plus 'travel' Windsor & Newton Water Colours and played with some awesome words -


thank YOU Vincent!





PLAYED!




























GRATITUDE!


Happy Easter!

    Just got back from a little R&R with my sis, her hubby and pup. We managed to include some time for working on some art projects and getting together with like minded women with whom we created more art and good times. Now I'm home and back to work. Happy Easter to you too.

    The beach is so wonderful for inspiration. Too cold in our area to dip our feet in the ocean, so I am very jealous. Happy PPF and Easter to you!
