My favorites from July. Forest scenes, focused on different trees, landmarks and buildings. All were done in basic watercolors and I worked off photos.

I’ve been absent and haven’t been sharing like I should. These were done in June. I love the sailboats in the water.

Painting off and on over several weeks. Reviewing what I’ve done over the past 6 months is remarkable and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished.

My painting tonight on Valentine’s Day. The first one the image was preprinted and I colorized it. The others are by me. Relaxing and good therapy.

In the wild world I’m in, I’m working to find peace in my world. I’m teaching myself how to use watercolor paint. I’m not great, but I can focus on things that bring me peace.

Shot of some flowers earlier this year. I thought we could use a splash of color before winter sets in.

Visited the Ice Castle at the MN State Fairgrounds today and shot several photos. This was one of my favorites tonight. It was a low-key beautifully eerie event. Loved it.

My Lily who struggles with a regular cat meow, became very talkative a day at my office. She’s earned the nickname Meep or Meepster due to her voice. You’ll want to turn up the volume.

Lily, my pandemic kitten, is super playful and affectionate. She loves her cat tree and climbs it like this all the time and she’s 3 years old. #cats

Constance was my child’s cat. Playful, affectionate and a fierce mouser. She passed last year unexpectedly. This video captured her spirit. #cats

In the middle of Moorhead, MN, there’s the Hjemkomst Center and they have a recreation of a Stav Church and a Viking ship. I took some candid shots in June 2024 in and out of the church. It’s a fantastic recreation. I recommend visiting if you can. cityofmoorhead.com/departments/...

This last spring (2024), I was fortunate enough to be at Como Park in time for the height of the Japanese Cherry Blossoms to be in full bloom. Beauty and the faint smell of blossoms embraced me. Two days later, breezes caused the blossoms to fall like snowflakes.

Haven’t posted for a bit as things got busy and home and at work. Things are much more normal now. My #cat Lily has been super affectionate lately. She invited me for a belly rub and it wasn’t a trap. She got lots of love from me.
