Nature Inspired. Beautifully Useful. (Revised)

I love photography, especially nature photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a kid, many, many years ago. 😊 Since my accident last year, I haven’t been able to get out very much. I really miss walking on a trail, exploring new places, and capturing the beauty all around us. Recently, […]

I Miss Being Creative and Making Art

Ever since I fell in June 2025 and broke my knee, I haven’t painted anything. I miss painting and being creative so much. When I paint, I usually stand at a raised table so I can move around freely. Once I finish a piece, I carry it over to the drying rack, on the opposite […]

A busy January and Doggy Guest #66, Sukey

I feel very grateful and fortunate for having a great start to the new year! First, Sukey was here, for the first time, and for just shy of 3 weeks, while her owners were in Africa on Safari. I am so envious. Sukey is a 13 month old Mini American Shepherd. She is beautiful, sweet, […]

Celebrating Success: My Second Art Sale Journey

It turned out to be a great day weather wise!! I started promoting my sale, 2 weeks before, in many different locations. My friend Kevin offered to play and sing, while people shopped. I love live music, so it was perfect! I have twice as many paintings made this year, as I did last year, […]

Doggy Guests 48, Remy and Rafi

I am going to miss these adorable boys! It was Remy and Rafi’s first time at Lynne’s Doggy BnB. They were here for 8 days. And let me also mention, that it is so great to have dogs here again. I lost most of my booked clients in 2020, due to the pandemic. But, even […]

My Quiet New Year’s Eve: Reflections and Hobbies

Hope everyone had a good and safe New Year. My New Years Eve was quiet. Party of 1. I binge watched the whole series of Bridgerton on Netflix, which I loved. I paused to watch the ball drop and finished the series at 3 am. Once I get started, I can’t stop. It was so […]

How I Got My Photo Accepted in a Juried Show

A friend of mine suggested that I submit something to a local art exhibit. I didn’t feel like my paintings were good enough, so I decided to submit 3 photos I have taken and were already framed in my house. I got an email on Mon, 10/12th, that 1 of my photos was accepted!! I […]

Hosting an Art Sale: My Backyard Experience

I had an art sale in my backyard recently. I showed my paintings, my cousin showed her antique beaded jewelry and one of my girlfriends showed her aromatherapy products. It was a beautiful day and a perfect place for this event. Even though we did a lot of advertising, only 10 people came during the […]

Transforming My Tiny Room into an Art Studio

I have been having so much fun with paint pouring!! I now have a new addiction for sure. I keep buying more paint and canvases. I keep adding things to my painting room, which is only 6’x7′ and feeling smaller every day. I now have over 90 paintings made!! I make about 2-4 a day. […]
