Every Day People....
Spring is here in Florida! It's time to get out the brightly colored clothing and explore the colors of nature. Florida is always alive with tropical vibes when Spring arrives. A good idea is to drive to the beach and paint or draw everything that moves. The water is warm and rich in color, and people are radiant with sunshine; what more could we ask for in the Sunshine State?

It's also a great time to come out of the somewhat cold and start working to create that backyard oasis...
Florida in the Spring
The beauty of Florida is that so much of the state is a "postcard" photo. Just hanging out in the back yard. The jasmine is in bloom, and the smell is tantalizing. The photo above is an old picture, but it's how I feel about the arrival of Spring. That's me with George the Pom Pom in my arms and Bella the Golden getting ready to plant new flower beds. Below is the picture Kalista took of Bella; it is beautiful, just like the dog.
Southerners and their dogs
A long day doing yard work is easy to do when you have good company. This is my Golden Retriever, Bella! She is always playful and easy going. However, true to her breed, she is exceptionally smart. Bella picks a nice shady spot in the yard, and then she can hang-out all day.
During Spring and Summer, these are the kind of paintings I get inspired to do. This one is called "Looking for Shells." I will probably take a drive to the Clearwater beach, take some photos and do more painting like these (but paint a shirt that is not so busy).
Looking for Shells...
My Sorority sister called!
She needs a sorority painting or drawing to tee off a project. I did this sorority painting so long ago, I can't remember when. Nevertheless, its time to create something new and exciting, not just for Sigma Gamma Rhos, but for AKs, Delta's and Zetas as well. But first, I'm pulling out the blue and gold for the practice run. As you can tell, I'm a proud member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. EE-YIP!
