It is the new year and I have been painting more than ever! I even started an oil painting called “One with the Mountains”.  I also have been experimenting with calligraphy. It takes a lot of patience in the beginning but I find that the more I practice the faster I become.

Although I love paintings birds, I am trying out other subjects. My current subjects are flowers! My local grocery store offers the most stunning flower bouquets so I took the opportunity to paint them from life. I find that painting from life is very rewarding to the overall painting. Below is one of the floral paintings that I painted a few days ago.

Here is my calligraphy. It reads “Home is not a Place, it’s a Feeling. ❤

This quote reads ” Be silly, Be honest, be kind”.
