What makes me angry in the world is that everyone everywhere doesn't have access to clean sanitary water. Maybe it's because we lived for so long without running water, but this is an issue dear to my heart. Right along with universal pre-school, and I mean universal for every child everywhere. Water should be … Continue reading What really makes you angry about the world?
What would you do in Paris?
My dream if I went to Paris for two weeks is to spend it in Bookstores. I know an artist like me and all I can think about is being able to read all my children's books classics in French. I think that would be the only way I could learn to read and speak … Continue reading What would you do in Paris?
Silver Tip Grizzly
My husband and I saw a silver tip grizzly the other day. I didn't get a picture so the next morning I made this quick sketch in m journal.

And that makes 10!
Wow, that was a lot harder then I thought, and even though I didn't finish in 30 days, I did create 10 new posts for my blog in the month of August. I'm not really sure I'm completely happy with what I wrote about. I would like to focus more on my painting and drawing … Continue reading And that makes 10!
Sometimes Even an Artist Needs Inspiration
I checked this amazing book out of the library the other day. Full of inspiration, techniques, art projects and ideas, it's given me new inspiration to get back to work. I have always struggled with pastels, but in a little over 15 minutes this first sample project came out pretty good I think. Most … Continue reading Sometimes Even an Artist Needs Inspiration
Movies I Love?
When I first posted my 30 day challenge, someone asked me about movies. I wasn't really sure what they meant but I have created a list of my favorite heroines from the big (or little -TV) screen: Kathleen Kelly from You've Got Mail - I love the way she tries to be so nice, and … Continue reading Movies I Love?

This book is about a little girl who moves to Montana with her dad after her mom dies in a car crash. They live on a Christmas tree farm in Northwest Montana. After … Continue reading Two Books That Changed My Life
