"Gerniums"

9x12 in Oil

"Bluebonnet" 9x12 painted in Oil.

This painting is in a private collection in Victoria, Texas

I painted this in Jan. 2007. It was an experiment, oil on watercolor paper. It is on my 2007 Christmas cards.

Friends

I introduced two friends to the Art of Blogging a little over a year ago. One has done great things with her blog. The other, like me, not so well.
What causes one person to accomplish great things and another not to move forward? Why are some of us dreamers and others are doers? Why don't I have any answers today?

Where does the time go???

Just yesterday I was young and full of energy, lots of dreams and plans for things to do and places to see. Today I wake up feeling a little tired, a little drained, wondering "What have I done? Where have I been?" I still have dreams and plans, but it seems to take longer to get it in gear.

Thinking

My friend has suggested that the art of Motherhood begins with the birth of our first child. And for some, I am sure that is correct. But watching my little granddaughters play, the way they care for their dollies and their animals and each other, I believe it is inborn for some of us.
