My vintage lingere summertime curtains.
The reward for Aiko and I at the top of the hill on our morning walks. She loves to go in the water!
The peony obsession continues...
I bought these at the store a couple of weeks ago and have been looking for more, but since Spring was so short and Summer is here full force, I may not find any more. :(

I'll be starting off the New Year on the Big Island of Hawaii...5 glorious days hanging out at the beach followed by teaching a fun 3 day workshop "Color Theory and Techniques in Watercolor". A beautiful place, wonderful people, and a favorite subject of mine...I can't wait!
When I return, I'm looking forward to spending lots of time in the studio...Painting, Painting and more Painting! Too many ideas rolling around in my head! I'll also be teaching some new classes/workshops at my studios in Placerville and Sacramento. Check out the class pages to the left for more info.
