I started painting this group of six 8”x8” canvases in April 2025. I grouped them all together as you see here, and started by painting them with the same several colors, as can be seen in the photo at the bottom of this post. I had the foresight to take a photo of that round, then the next 2 rounds, up to this one you see today.

I am planting flowers for this coming year.

Some of these will be actual flowers in my new garden. I’m also planting herbs, tomatoes, and maybe another vegetable or two, all of which come with flowers at some point in their growth cycle.

Like every other artist I know, I have my favorite tools for making art.

Some of the tools I work with came to me from experience, some from study, many accidentally.
