2020, A Year in Review

WOW, WHAT A YEAR!!!! Thank you again to everyone who has been reading for the last 6 years, or if you are new to my blog. I really appreciate your interest in my stories. I think that we all can say that we look forward to this year being over. I want to begin by […]

Juried Art Exhibit

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 […]

My photography is now available for purchase

I started taking pictures when I was a kid and I haven’t stopped. I started out with a little 35mm camera in the 70’s, and over the years, I have moved up the camera scale to digital cameras with lots of features and higher zoom lenses. Now that I live in Rhode Island, I have […]

Even more paintings and photography

I have been having so much fun painting. I have been trying different techniques and I think I am getting the hang of it. I suppose I should start thinking about trying to sell them eventually. And here are some photos from the last couple of weeks.

More paintings and photography

I am really enjoying paint pouring. Like life, every one I make is a learning experience. Did I use enough paint, did I use too much, is the paint too thick or too thin, did I prepare the canvas correctly before painting? So many questions and you don’t really know what it’s going to look […]

Feeling creative again!!

I used to be very creative, when I was kid. I loved to draw, write and even was into photography back then as well. As a teenager, I did a lot of jigsaw puzzles and then glued and framed them. Big ones, 500, 1000, 2000 pieces! Creative writing and photography still carried through those years […]

Doggy Guest #46 Kenzie

Kenzie was my first Westie guest and she was such a sweet girl. She settled into her new surrounding pretty fast and did very well, while she was with me. Kenzie was very quiet, most of the time. She had a very low, little cry, when she wanted something. I could barely hear her. She […]

Doggy Guest #45 Sammi

I love every doggy guest that stays at my house, but I definitely have some favorites…and Sammi is now a favorite for sure!! Sammi is a 5+ year old Bichon. She is so lovable and sweet. She was here for 4 nights and we hit it off great! Waking up in the morning and going […]

Doggy Guest # 44 Betty

Look at this cutie patootie… This was Betty’s first time here and she was such a sweetheart. She settled in in about an hour. She was so well behaved. We played fetch, went for a walk and got to know each other. By the end of the stay, she was sitting on my lap. I […]

Not an April fools joke…

I cant believe that’s it April already. I haven’t left my house since early to mid March, except to go walking with my neighbor. We used to walk twice a week, now, since we are both available more, we are walking more…we are trying to walk every day and we walk for about an hour […]
