Happy Little Limes

The sun is shining and somewhere in the world limes are growing. Most definitely not here in Chicago. It looks like the high today is somewhere between "my breath just froze in my mouth" and....dead. With the official record sitting at 9ยบ. With that kind of weather, one has to get creative with their Vitamin C.

R&R Watercolor

After wrapping up an all consuming project (more on that later) I needed something to center me again. Something that didn't include an entire bag of Dove chocolates (prob cause I ate em all) OR a Jillian Michaels scream fest OMG-How-Did-I-Get-This-Out-Of-Shape guilt trip spiral. Something so cathartic that I might actually feel a little zzzzzen...

Two things: being still. and water. (Ick, I'm rolling my eyes at the Buddhist-mass-appeal/horrible irony of someone like me trying to state something like that)

Let me start over. I set up some junk lying around my house and then I painted it. Afterwards, I felt pretty good.




I can't resist a photo op for Scraps. And she loves her new painting. So much that she takes naps on it.

Birch Trees Diptych

I figure if I can't get quality photos, I might as well get a quantity of photos. Each canvas is 3' x 2' and painted with oil. They might not be finished...but for now they are.





oh, and here's one of my Christmas tree!
