I’ve talked before about Artist Helping Artist ~ Leslie Saeta ` blog talk radio and her show is made special for artists and creatoress, and Goddess of all kinds that want to grow and learn and have fun doing what you love.
this is day 6 right now and she took us all to
PicMonkey.com Watch out, it is sooooooo fun that it’s really hard to get anything else done. But today I am on a mission to write this blog. I have goals this year and they aren’t out to the start I had hoped, so it’s time to learn other ways of creating revenue for our home and way-of-life. (Which I adore, for all of my friends that always wonder why I don’t send flowers very often anymore….I love you always(…

Just having tons of fun and learning things anew
my first attempt on PicMonkey and drew me back to create the first BabaMamaLamb photo up top, this one above….. Ranchitos Pottery.
Tulips are seen everywhere you look. Some even grow them in beautiful clay pots so they can move them around.
‘Tulips in CandleLight’ on Paper by CheyAnne Sexton
This piece is really incredible in person and computer monitors, altho handy, just can’t give you all the wonderful colors and feel this painting has in here. The way the light plays on the flowers is just wonderful to look at. I love the feel of this painting.
If you would like to gift this to someone for graduation or maybe Mothers Day, or simply just because, please click the image and it will take you to my Etsy Shop.
Busy week and productive one too. I lOVE Spring. I feel so motivated about my art and creating. Also learning new things about the business end of it all.
This is actually the first week in a long, long time that I have posted two posts in one week. I wrote about a returning robin enjoying our little ponds of water to take a much needed bath after their migration.
AND I’ve been painting: not really big paintings, but watercolor sketches of plum blossoms

and found me a fat, little green bunny: (just the first, well second layer) of Winsor Newton Paynes Grey with Sap Green…..
bunny, bunny so fat and round…why do you look all green?
Just need to add some more detail and fix a few things and I might call her good. We will see tomorrow. I found this little sweetie in a new store in town, kinda like a Ross, with a little bit of everything thrown in. Couldn’t resist her for 2 bucks.
This was the first year in about three that the Robins left our area of northern New Mexico for the winter again, like they use to do. So seeing them and hearing their melodious songs in the morning is so incredible and welcome.
I just added fresh water to the pond liners and it didn’t take long for one to make out like a bandit
