💐Just now posting pictures from my time at the Art Walk at #buttecollege through #chicoartcenter last month. If you scroll through you will see David, holding the painting he purchased titled "Mother's Birthday". Next month I will be showing my art here in Willows along with other artists and crafters. Exciting!💐
OOPS... pictures of David are on the next post!

I needed to be reminded of this today. Maybe it will encourage you to tell Satan to go away when he tries to steal your joy...and then to bask in the abundant life that Jesus gives!!!

In John 10:10, Jesus tells us:
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

Good morning friends!
I have been working hard on my website and it is almost ready to re-launch! Here is a peek at one of the paintings that I have made from my photograph taken with sweet Georgianna Lane!

Lyndsay at Broken Oak Acres in Glenn California is truly a beauty! She is so full of ambition and creativity as well. It was such a joy to spend time with her and her family one evening a couple of weeks ago. The sunshine in her garden was so soft and inviting...loved it so much! #brokenoakacres, #sunshine, #flowergarden, #willowscalifornia, #backlight, #seekinghislight, #pattimustain
Yesterday evening I was going through the archives of some of the images that I took a couple of years ago. This dahlia was taken in Washington State. Fun to find some buried treasures to share with you! 🌸
Then, today in the Floret Flowers newsletter, I received a "Grow Great Dahlias e-book" which includes detailed information on how they grow dahlias in abundance each season. A great resource! (https://www.dropbox.com/s/gj16mton0ldjp2y/Floret-Grow-Great-Dahlias.pdf?dl=0) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is another book that I also recommend on dahlias by Georgianna Lane. Is packed with amazing photographs of these lovely flowers. Her images are beyond stunning! (http://georgiannalane.com/books)

Yesterday I was delighted to photograph at Broken Oak Acres. I was gifted the flowers that we used for part of the photo shoot. Today I'm spending the day editing Lyndsay and her beautiful family and farm. Looking forward to sharing some with you soon!!!🐓🦋🌺💐🌾🌷🌿⚘
Johnny and I had such a wonderful time away together last month. It seems that we stay so busy that we don't take enough time just to enjoy life. Here is the painting that I made from our trip to Mendocino and Fort Brag. Scroll through to see the inspiration behind the painting.

The beginning stages of my current painting. My mother is here and put together many bouquets. Thought I would take one of them and make a memory. The bouquet has roses, crape myrtle, and Rose Mallow.

🌸Exciting News!!!🌸
This weekend I opened a Society6 shop! I have uploaded a handful of images of the paintings that I have been working on these past months. The images of my paintings are licensed for sale as prints and pillows and many other wonderful items.
The link is in my profile. It would be awesome if you wanted to hop over and take a look!

🍃Truly, I am loving learning about so many of the great artists of the past. Most of what I am discovering is that there is no "right" way to make art. No need to stay within the lines. No need to make all the colors exact to what one sees with their eyes. No need to make art look "real". *
🍃These books represent not how to paint...but for me they represent how to THINK about art, to think about what colors, shapes, textures, and lines bring me joy. * 🍃Art is something that comes from within...not from "within the lines" so to speak. What resonates with me, may not with you...but it may with somebody! And even if it never does, well it is a therapy for my soul. It is a place to express me...simple little me. For this I am grateful.

Loved playing with all this color this past week. The deep blue vase against all the softer colors makes me happy. 🌸💐 18"x24"

My heart is telling me to keep working on my desire to paint. I have been getting so much satisfaction from going thrifting to find all kinds of books on great artists. So much fun learning and "becoming". I am following my heart...and loving this adventure!

Happy Easter Friends! Jesus is Alive! In the Bible in Luke, chapters 23-24 we learn of the real meaning behind this holiday. I would encourage you (as we will be doing) to read and pray and give thanks for what Jesus has done for us. 🌸⛪️🌿✝❤️

Remembering our time in Paris in the 🌸Spring of 2014. So sorry 😓for the recent loss in France...yet so grateful to know so much of Notre Dame Cathedral survived.💒 #NotreDameCathedral, #ParisFrance, #France, #Paris, #NotreDame, #seekinghislight,
These roses were my favorite last year at our new home. I called them the "Grace" rose. Because when we rounded the corner of our yard on the day we signed papers for this house, they were just the most spectacular display of God's favor and grace towards us! Thus...the "Grace" rose!

Lilacs and sweet peas may be my favorite flowers. Our lilacs are in bloom already, and I LOVE them.🌿 My sweet peas are coming up out of the ground and I can't wait to see them later this spring!
Here is a little painting I enjoyed making last evening. Still learning!🌹
