Snowy Day

'Tis the hope it will snow next week.  It can snow here in the Willamette Valley, but over the years I've decided we live in a vortex where it snows everywhere else but here.  I keep hoping and praying for snow--perhaps I will get my wish this time?  Just enough for a snow man.

The above painting is only 3.5x2.5 inches--the size of a baseball card.  I just love painting these tiny pictures.

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and have a lovely day!

Heart Walk -Guest Heart Thursday

 Another of my little doodles--but this one I drew especially for today's Guest Heart Thursday.  A year ago, just a few weeks earlier, Daddy had flown away to heaven.  On top of that, my beloved husband was heading to the hospital for major cancer surgery and life seemed so difficult.

This year has been full of firsts--a heart walk through difficult days.  Yet along this walk of broken hearts--family,  friends and a God who loved us throughout, made all the difference in the world.

A blessed Thanksgiving to everyone today.

Sunny Sleeper -Guest Heart Thursday

Here's another of my doodles.  I finished it two nights ago.  She could be Sleeping Beauty, or a fairy taking a soft nap upon a sunflower.  And, of course, there are hearts to be found in this graphite sketch.

Moon in Hiding -Guest Heart Thursday

Here is a tiny painting, the size of a baseball card, which I painted a few days ago.  Of course, I have hidden a heart therein.

Have a lovely weekend!

Forest Charmer -Guest Heart Thursday

Here is another of my graphite doodles.  I was gone for five days--visiting family.  I imagined what my darling niece would look like when she grew up--and here she is.  Her favorite flowers gather around her feet as she tends the birds of the forest beneath the great maple trees. 

Have a lovely day!
