painting with friends

I have had wonderful houseguests for the past couple of days--two artist friends and their husbands.  We painted, laughed a lot, and painted some more.  Karen and Barb created, I'm sure, a masterpiece.  This is all I could muster--just having too much fun!  What a welcome visit during the month of February.  Spring is coming!!

Quiet Confidence

My granddaughter is a gymnast and she has taken 1st place in her division at the last 2 competitions.  It is so much fun to watch her compete.  She appears to so assured and confident.  She is only 10.  I tried to capture the moment before the awards were announced.

winter blues

I have so much trouble getting excited about painting.  Perhaps it's because I love to paint flowers and there just aren't any.  Had to work from fake flowers to do this painting and it's not the same--it lacks passion.  Oh, well, it is an attempt at gearing up for spring!
