Time for a new post and it is not even November!

 Well, lots is going on, so I guess it is time to post. We loved our Japan trip, and I even did a few paintings there based on the many things we saw.

Many of these are James Julier tutorials and so much fun.  All painting of people are from models or photo refs.

I still love digital painting and now try other artist tutorials as there is so much to learn.

We are getting ready for a trip to the Netherlands and Belgium this fall for my birthday and are excited to meet both of our kids there.  Also, we will move to a new home in December,.....12 years in Sandestin is enough......time for a change!

March 2025

Always surprised to see how much time has passed and how many paintings I have done between posts.  

We returned from Portugal, where I took way too many photos and enjoyed it very much!  I really loved the holiday tutorials online with James Julier and continue to learn new skills with digital art on the IPad. I recently did a watercolor when a friend asked if I could transfer those skills back to traditional mediums.  But my real love now is the IPad...so portable...I can draw and paint anywhere! I do miss mixing oil paints, however!

We are getting ready for another adventure....back to Japan for the 3rd time!  We will be there for the cherry blossoms and I can't wait!  Leisurely traveling for a month to some cities we have missed in one of my favorite countries.

We will be celebrating Dear Hubby's 75th birthday and his 6 year perfect scan!  All is well and thanks for checking my blog!
