​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In another lifetime, I was a weather forecaster.

I ended up there by my love of the thunderstorms I grew up watching in Colorado, and the ever-present need to make ends meet in life. But my heart was elsewhere, listening to thunder and drawing everything I saw around me. Feeling that "line-to-mind" connection with objects, people, and nature is vital to me. 

My favorite place to be is in the paint room at my house, sun splayed across my desk, dog beside me in his cozy cave, planning another painting. It's my heaven on earth and I thank God for letting me feel that.

Along came Carol Marine's website which led me to the daily painting movement and it is exactly what I needed. It has made the difference in getting me to pick up a paintbrush and get going! 

Oh, and I love a good podcast for accompaniment to painting! 

I welcome commissions.
