Artistic Roll

I haven't written in my blog for several months; I have a lot of catching up to do.  We spent June, July and part of August exploring National Parks and other public lands.  Those stories will come later.  Right now, I'm experiencing moments of artistic expression through mixed media paintings and carved gourds.  I've been working hard on items for our upcoming community arts and crafts fair.  This will be the first time I've shown work publicly, and I am a bit nervous about it.  However, my dear friend and sister-in-law, Elaine, will be right alongside me with several of her quilted projects.

Here are a few photos and scans of my newest watercolor/acrylic paintings that I'll plan to sell:
