 It seems that most of us, even the non-technical ones, have had to get with the times. This goes for artists also. We no longer offer our creations only at a gallery or at art festivals. We have gone ON-LINE. For the next few weeks, I will share with you some of my creations that are now available on line. I know many of you, like me, are making that mental holiday list.

I will start to introduce you to a few items for those on your list that enjoy a good book or the internet.

Love People.....Don't Paint Them?

The title of this blog is a question I keep asking myself.  I love to be around people, laughing, talking, etc. In fact, I consider myself a "people person". So why is it that I do not attempt to paint them? A while back I started a painting of my granddaughter, but never completed it. Well, this summer I decided to do it. I had taken a photograph, over a year ago, of a sweet little boy coming out of an ice cream shop. I have found that the first step in painting is to be excited about what you will paint and this photo did that for me. I also decided to do this because I now have two grandchildren  and what a beautiful gift to leave them than a painting? Maybe this would get me started.

I chose the hardest medium, I think, watercolor. Here is the completed painting. Feel free to give me your comments.

Aging Life lessons

Most of us see our parents age and die. Sometimes it happens early in life and you are not able to learn the lessons that aging brings to one’s life. Having lost my Dad in my 30’s, when I still thought I had another 100 years left, was quite different than watching my Mother age and deteriorate now.

No, this is not a depressing personal story, but a way  to assess where I am in life, what am I creating and what I want to accomplish. My Mom does not realize that even at this stage in our lives, she is still teaching me valuable lessons. This experience has put an urgency in what I want to see and do. What new creative method can I learn before my fingers don’t move this well and I am unable to get around as swiftly as I do now? Watching another household being taken apart has also enforced my sense of generosity. I have learned that I should give away my treasures early while I am still able to understand and enjoy the happiness that it  brings to others.

Let’s assess and enjoy the beauty and opportunities that this day brings. Look, plan and create as if you will not be able to do it tomorrow!

SoMi Art Walk

This coming Saturday starts the art walk season for the City of South Miami (SoMi).

 "SoMi ArtWalk is a free event in the heart of South Miami Town Center. One night each month, October through March, pedestrian friendly South Miami bustles with culture and local artists as participating venues open their doors and invite you to stroll around SoMi" 

South Miami is also the place where the Manatee Fest took place. While you stroll, pick up a map at the First National Bank of South Miami. The map will indicate the location of all of these works of art. My manatee, "Willy", is at the corner of Sunset Drive and 57th Avenue. To see how this manatee was painted, click here to see the video.
