Quite by accident–if there is such a thing–I discovered “Karrie on Canvas” on Youtube–and I love the loose, free way she paints, the bold colors, and the whimsical subjects. I’ve got a piece underway following one of her demonstrations, and I’ll post it at some point. (The famous sunflower is still in limbo, if you’re wondering, which you probably aren’t.) Anyway, I love to share my special finds with you, so I posted a link to one of Karrie’s early videos. Enjoy!
I’m writing today–and it’s another perfect day for it, too. It’s going to rain. 
I’m listening to a promising new book–new to me, anyway–called “You Are Not Your Brain”. I’ve developed a fascination with brain science–go figure–and I’m always on the lookout for a better way to do things. I’ve also begun Andrea Kane’s new book, “The Girl Who Disappeared Twice”. It’s off to a great start–go, Andrea!
So many books, so little time. The new Johanna Lindsey is on top of my to-be-read stack–I love her dashing heroes and spirited heroines.
Expecting company today–niece Angie and beau, Taylor. They’ll be vegging at the lake house, along with their beagle, Gus. Have I ever told you how wonderful my nieces and nephews are? Angie is not only beautiful, funny and smart–she’s a terrifically talented first-grade teacher as well. I’m so very proud of her.
That’s the news for today, pretty much.
Have the best day ever.

I love watching other people paint. Probably because I simply have no talent for it. (Although I can paint circles around everyone when it comes to painting rooms!) My grown son loved to watch Bob Ross paint on television from the time he was a wee child. He would just lie in front of the tv in fascination. I think part of it might have been Mr. Ross's oh-so-soothing voice…..Oh, if you are growing weary of the rain, send a little our way. We're in a scorching drought here in Texas – triple digit heat every day and it's drier than a bale of hay!
