Art blog Award

I feel very excited that the wonderful colored pencil artist Linda Mahoney has given me my very first blog award! Thanks, Linda!

In return, I am to list seven things I love and pass the award on to seven other artist bloggers whose blogs I admire.

First, seven things I love (in no particular order and omitting many more):

1. the look of the world after freshly fallen snow (we got about 3 inches today!)

2. our adorable granddaughter!



3. playing and singing music with my praise team

4. my wonderful husband Joe(for 42 years!!!)

5. painting, especially to music (my current favorites: Barry Tognolini's Treasure Road album and Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack)

6. intellectual discussions with like minds

7. the glorious blue of the New Mexico sky on a clear day

Currently, I follow only a few blogs, so the first recipient of the award goes to Pat Aube Gray (see her blog).

Pat's latest still life painting

I'll come up with more in the next day or two. I need to get back to my studio!
