“There comes . . . a longing never to travel again except on foot”. -Wendell Berry
Traveling on Foot
Spring Under the Clouds
8″x4″ original oil on panel
As I painted this I thought “Oh Texas, You should always dress in wildflowers. They are so becoming on you!”
💕 Please enjoy a celebration of pink paintings this month, in honor of breast cancer awareness. I paint for my friends and family who have fought the good fight against cancer, for their families, and for all caregivers who help along with the journey toward a healthy self (body, soul, and spirit). In my strokes of pink, are prayers of strength and healing.

Blushing Cactus (finished)
7″x5″ pastel on sanded paper
I decided to spend a few more minutes on this study. Spines are my favorite part of a cactus, so I wanted to add them. This photo was taken in lousy light, the light value of the background is a beautiful blush. It photographed almost white today.

The Color of Dawn

“Pink is a beautiful color, because it is one of the colors that the sun makes at twilight and in the dawns.” –C. JoyBell C.
I have always loved when my art reminds someone of a story. Thanks to those who have opened their hearts and shared their breast cancer stories. I am honored to hear stories about mothers, sisters, friends, and God Children, favorite teachers, choir members, neighbors, Aunts, and Grandmothers.

Quiet Rain
7″x5″ pastel on sanded paper
“Into each life some rain must fall.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A few houses back, I put a rain gauge on a piece of wood with this quote in my garden. I love the literal and the metaphorical meaning.
Yesterday my feet were wet all day long, it was a little reminder that most days I enjoy the luxury of dry socks, and that yesterday I got to start my day with a splash!
