3 Years on WordPress!
Wow, I cannot believe I have had this blog for three years! I just learned this when they notified me of this achievement. I did the above painting a couple of years ago, but it is my favorite abstract. Then I added those words, because for me it is true!
I don’t really have anything planned for this post except to say “thank you” to all of the dear friends I’ve made here. You are all wonderful bloggers yourselves. I haven’t had as much time to blog this year, but I hope to post more this summer once my daughter gets out of school.
I plan to put more of the picture book I’m working on here this week. I still have to scan it into the computer, etc. Time-consuming, but I want to share it.
I hope all of the mothers I know had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday. My husband cooked me a nice dinner, gave me a few movies and a gift card for Barnes & Noble which is already spent! 🙂 I purchased a novel called Georgia by Dawn Tripp whom I have never ready anything by. This may be her first novel; I’m not sure. Anyway, the reviews of it were wonderful so I am looking forward to it!
I also purchased a book that has been on my goodreads list for a long time called “The Complete Watercolorist’s Essential Notebook…” by Gordon MacKenzie. Sometimes I just want to hear about other people’s discoveries with painting in watercolors and get new perspective and ideas. I actually haven’t been painting much lately, but want to get back to it very soon and do my picture book in watercolors.
Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug! 🙂

Thank you, Laura. I really had so much fun doing that painting. It was one of those times when I was just playing with color and not thinking about much else! It is on acrylic paper so I had to frame it and hang it up when I was done. 🙂

Thanks, Derrick! 🙂 I may have forgotten, but when I saw your gardens, I meant to say they are gorgeous! Do you work harder now that you’re retired? You are retired……..right? 😉

I am retired, Patsy. I’d never have the time to do everything if I wasn’t 🙂

I thought so, and I hear you! 🙂 I only have time for art and writing when I’m not having to take my daughter to school all summer! 🙂
