areas than I thought I would.

Really lovely start... and I so agree that photographing your art helps you see and critique it better.

Love the cat in the next post as well..

Thanks Susan! I haven't heard that word in so long, but I remember it a lot when I was little - thanks for the memories! LOL

Art Still GOING On

(I've been really neglectful of this space. Yikes!)   This summer we planted TREES on our property - spent so much time caring for them,...
