Well, it has been a long time...Grace Arts & Crafts, LLC, officially wrapped up operations this last winter...I hadn't painted or sold a painting in over a year, at that point, so I saw no benefit in continuing to file monthly business tax returns, renew tax and business licenses, etc.

But my heart still longs to do art, even if my mind and my hand aren't strong enough. Having arthritis that is so advanced that surgery is ordered, (being too, whatever I am—foggy, indecisive, chicken, maybe all of that) and not having a way to make it happen just yet is a struggle I need to figure out.

I hope, maybe these new paints will inspire some Christmas doodles or fingerprint art for the kiddos.

Simplifying an urban landscape painting into a 30 minute painting was the challenge I set for myself in this watercolor painting lesson. Beginners or interme...

Lorelei provides a quick update a little over two months after losing Thomas. She thinks back over the last few months and thanks everyone for their kindness...

Fire ants, and I, having a long, contentious relationship, dance around with Sevendust this time of year. As I went about scattering my powder, and muttering imprecatory prayers over these vile little pests, I came across SO. Much. Good!

I Heard the Sound of the birds and Felt the wind come through the trees. I Smelled the beautiful roses and even Saw the promise of more roses to come. As I got to the last garden bed, hiding beneath a lonely volunteer strawberry plant was a Taste! Fruit of the love of gardening treasured by my dear, dear departed Husband.

The God who loves Thomas and holds him in heaven for me, created me to be a sensitive and sensing human. The more senses I engage, the better I feel, and the clearer my mind is.

How can I not be grateful? How can I keep these Blessings to myself? so here I am on Facebook, singing of the goodness of God.

“All of my life he has been faithful. All of my life He has been so, so good.
With every breath that I’ve been given, I will sing of the goodness of God. “
