getting out


I've been getting out and doing some painting from my car
no more excuses
maybe my word for the year is:
justdoit

january 5th

january 6th

january 10th

january 11th
I'm getting into the swing of it
it's about an hour of my time in the morning
and I can feel my brain loosening up
... my eyes opening

it's a difficult time of year up here 
(translate: d e p r e s s i n g)
and if you're not looking for the beauty it's just gloomy and gray
but honestly,
it's amazing how much color there is lurking in the gray

  5. I love the "justdoit" motto and your paintings a sweet memories captured with a simple , clean brushstroke. I picked up a small watercolor journal to begin watercolor paintings to mark my calendar. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

    Thank you for your inspiration!
