A Debra Smith Original

I’m not certain of the exact date but it’s signed 2020. When I saw it on Debra Smith’s blog back then I made sure she knew how much I loved it. She was so generous in her reply and she decided to send it to me. This 5x7 inch delightful little bird portrait has been gracing my kitchen ever since. It even made it through our move from NJ to Massachusetts and is one of the things that made our “new to us” house feel like “home”.

Years ago I kept a blog, mostly sharing creative projects from our NJ location I thought would never change. However, life did bring changes and after 46 years in NJ, we now live in beautiful New England. We downsized to a very old historic house in Massachusetts that we fell in love with the first time we saw it. We have spent most of this year settling in and making it our own. My choice for being creative is still painting, but I’m now taking a class in watercolor, something I could never get right. What I’ve learned is that it’s much more involved than I imagined. So I’m going forward with a wonderful instructor, and I look forward to each weekly class. I’ll start this first post with a few favorites and am open to any and all suggestions. I’m looking forward to blogging again, topics not limited. Just post what you have been doing since last we “met”!

This photo shows our work inspired by our instructor’s original painting of a feather and bead decoration. Most of us were finished in class, some are still in progress, and mine is the least done (bottom left). Now I have the most homework of all which is  to finish my painting by next week’s class. I am a very slow painter!
