    There’s something so cozy about seeing your own neighborhood from this quiet, reflective angle. Makes me want to grab a cup of tea and watch the night settle in.

    Absolutely stunning. I have been to Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Maine. New England is beautiful. Warm greetings from a retired lady living in Montreal, Canada ❤️ 😊 🇨🇦

A Reintroduction

Image
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”!

Keeping It Simple

Image
The best advice when I was trying to set up a blog after years out of practice was from Kathyloraine (aka Kathyinozarks). She wrote "keep it simple". I'm still feeling inept compared to what I used to do, but at least I have learned how to share and comment. Taking a watercolor class has helped since I enjoy that a lot and it gives me something to share. This small 6x6" watercolor was inspired by our recent weather. It's so white everywhere here in MA and it's not melting anytime soon. There is no green left on our trees, but I left some in my painting. I tried to depict a bit of snow flurrying by splattering some white paint. It worked but not as much as hoped so I went back to keeping it simple.
