Fireweed 8″x 8″
Sun Peaks Meadow 8″ x 8″

The less I paint, the less I want to paint. The more I paint, the more I want to paint.

Nikita 3″ x 3″
This is Nikita. She lives at Southlands Farm. I am very lucky to have a barn full of horses just 10 minutes away, that I can visit whenever I want.

Bringing out the tiny brushes.
Tiny Painting 3″ x 3″
It has begun. The assembly line of tiny paintings for Christmas. A very slow, one woman assembly line.
