Day 4 on Camino de Santiago. We walked to Pamplona, Spain today. I am so grateful. And tired. we are walking the 500 mile pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain with our kids to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.

I have a favorite wildflower. It is Queen Anne’s Lace! I am delighted they have popped up in my bluebonnet field. I don’t need to play slot machines because I have a North TX prairie to visit.

I brought the outside in and painted this at Baylor Hospital in Dallas. it was heaven to paint while the amazing, Allison Read played harp next to me!

Prints for sale!!! The focus of my art is capturing beauty and joy with paint, and teaching others to do the same. AND I produce art that I am delighted to sell. I could have sold this painting 8 times this week. So I decided to make prints:). They are available in canvas prints, note cards, and SHOWER CURTAINS!!!! If anyone decides to transform their bathroom with this amazing Texas landscape, please send me a picture. Thanks for your support. Link in comments, prints are half off today:)
