I have been gifted by the Internet God/desses of Amazing Connections
to wonderful friends, and they’ve led to other friends, who led to writing buddies
and so many many great art buddies. Who would have thought?
Today I am giving thanks for the connections.
I love sunflowers and the season is ending; I should have bought a
bouquet at the last farmer’s market.
Luckily, I have friends who will let me paint their images!
What better way to lift spirits than gratitude and sunflowers?

That annoying loud-mouth editor/critic in your head? GONE! How great would that be?













Love this Kate. This is such a fun series. It’s one thing when you show the photo, but when you’ve seen the photo before and connected to it, it’s fascinating to see a different treatment.
