The sun on my painting table

The bright spring sun through my window. I was working away on my computer when the quality of the light on my painting table next to me caught my eye. As an artist, I always try to keep myself open to seeing and appreciating what's around me visually. I think it's also part of a practice called being mindful. What little things have you noticed today just by being present and mindful? http://bit.ly/1UdOdwc #mindfulmoment #mindfullife #mindfulliving #mindful #mindfulness #sunlightandshadows #sunlight #artstudio #artspace #drawingtable

my dog's magical foot

So this is how my dog indicates to me he wants a treat lol. He also taps the door when he wants to go outside to lay in the sun, or taps our legs when he wants something else like a chewie. He believes he has a magical tapping foot. So he taps on the kitchen cabinet door with his foot, repeatedly....till he gets what he wants (treats usually). Next picture, in between taps he stops and glares at me to see if I'm getting the message, (such a bossy boy). Call me petty, but I enjoyed adding a ring of flowers to the photo of him looking at me totally unimpressed... then I laughed and I laughed. http://bit.ly/1UdOdwc #doglove #doglover #ilovemydog #doglovers #dogslover #beagle #dog #beagles #beaglelove #beaglelife #beagleworld #beaglelover #beagledog #mybeagle #cutebeagle #mydog #mydogiscutest #mydogisthecutest #mydogisfamily #mydogslife #mydogmylife

Happy Easter!!, wishing you lots of love, as well as the hope and joy that comes with the start of a fresh new spring complete with bright colorful garden tulips, the warm sun on your face...... and lots of Easter chocolates of course : ) This is a printable download I made that includes one of my paintings showing how I picture Easter and spring in my heart.

Wishing you all a most wonderful holiday

Wishing you all a most wonderful holiday with family and friends. Don't only make it a good friday make it a great friday!!! I'm visiting my mom today and taking her an Easter lily and some chocolate. When I come home I'm going to relax and have fun making some art. Pictured is one of my Easter coloring pages. Perfect Easter activity even if you don't feel you have artistic talent, you can still have all the fun of being creative. Also if you have any little Easter helpers around you buzzed on chocolate, coloring is a great way to keep them busy lol. http://bit.ly/2UIw8NU #happyeaster #goodfriday #easterholiday #eastereggs #eastercoloring #eggdecorating #coloringpages #eastereggcoloring #adultcoloringpages #eastereggart #coloringbook #easteractivity #eastercrafts
