Hi Katherine!
I decided to print two :-) Both have some personal significance to me. The watercolor on the beach is a photo of my husband and our niece on a vacation a couple of years ago in California. The other one I printed is the old mining buildings by the lakeshore - this is a cc photo of northern Michigan - were I attended college. I loved the contrast of red and green in that image and it was a fun way to try out lots of different brushes on the buildings. It was good to stretch my wings and try something new.
Looks like you had a great time in DLand with Tangie. What fun it must have been to explore the park with artist eyes and take the time to document your time there.

Thank you, Trudi for coming up with this fun idea!
Sisters With Attitude
I am so excited to be part of a Sisters With Attitude - a mixed media collaboration by the members of the Tumble Fish Studio Creative Team. This project was the brainchild of the amazing Trudi Sissons of Two Dresses Studio. We all had the chance to play with a new product called Craft At...

Love the re-design. Now I know just how to find you in all of your new hang-outs :-)
Tidy up and Make Over
Not a full make over, just a little update for the blog. New header, new filmstrip with buttons that take you to more places. The newest additions are for facebook and for an on line gallery at 500px. Check them out when you have time. Again, many thanks Lissa ~ I know my limits and it is NOT...
Wow! Proof to me that I should save those shots I think are not worth much. Look at the beauty you've made out of this!
The End of The Tulips
I had great fun painting this image. I used one texture of my own and two from Melissa Gallo/Painted Textures ~ Mint and Messy Gesso. I especially enjoyed painting the petals of the tulips. Click on the image to view it larger. . . Here is the starting point, the original image: Sometim...
I need to get in the habit of checking in with your at facebook. It is not on my regular list of spots to visit. I used to enjoy sitting down with Flickr and catching up with what you've been up to, but it is not as comfy there as it used to be. I need to find a new rhythm...
What's New ~
Well, I have joined more social media ~ facebook. I owe it all to the prodding of certain people, but mostly my nephew's wife, Lauren, who happens to work for facebook! There were just too many things that I did not "get" until she sat down with me at my computer while visiting last weekend. ...
Seeing the mustard in bloom brings back memories of our road trip to the wine country last year. Happy memories :-)
Wild Mustard
Wild mustard is blooming everywhere in Northern California ~ field after field of yellow against the spring sky. Some call it a flower, some call it a weed ~ either way, I found them delightful on this particular day. Hope your day brings you a "delight", as well. ~K
cute toes!
Happy Birthday, Mom
My mother is 89 years old today :-) I will be taking this "cookie forest" to her this morning ~ molasses cookies :-) Have a wonderful Tuesday. ~K
dandelions and fireflies :-)
A Little Lensbaby Fun
I am trying the new aperture disks that fit with the lensbaby lenses. This one is a sunburst disk: Pretty cool, huh? I kinda like what it does with the bokeh background. I think I will play around some more and see how the other shapes look. I do hope you are heading into a wonderful ...
I am looking forward to making a mess tomorrow too! I have to fit in a dentist and hair appointment, but I won't let that stop me!
I Need To Make a Mess!
I had the real need for a "messy" day today ~ but it turned out to be all digital. . . Even making a "digital mess" was good for me. . . Happy Weekend ~K
Oooh...Experimental Tuesday. Will this be a new series? I think this really has potential - love the playful, painted look.
A Lemon
Personal challenge ~ take a photo that is a lemon and try to make something wonderful with it ~ my attempt ~ it may not be wonderful but I am learning a lot about light layers of paint. The photo is of a leather chair tucked into a corner of the shed at the Inn at Park Winters ~ a lovely ches...
You did such a great job with all of these skies, Karen - it is hard to choose a favorite. These are a wonderful exploration of the quality of the light as much as they are about your walk through the city.
A Quick Little Tour
Images from our trip to Italy ~ these are from Florence. We began one evening at dusk at the Piazza Michelangelo above the city, walking and shooting as it got darker. We walked into the night ending up at the area around The Duomo, the large dome on the right in this first image. Walking d...
What an absolutely perfect quote for this image.
She Turned ~
"She turned to the sunlight and shook her yellow head an whispered to her neighbor: 'Winter is dead'." ~ A. A. Milne ~ When We Were Very Young ~K
