A Doodle A Day and Other Sweet Things...

Lately I've been drawing just whatever pops into my mind....I've been inspired by oranges and greens these days, possibly because my gardens have turned to icky browns and the approaching winter has taken its toll on my color inspiration outdoors....enjoy the latest drawings!

A Doodle A Day x Two!

Just completed two new small works...both india ink on paper. 

Today's New ART!!

Today I delivered a piece made with just a dash of extra love. :)  Currently in foster care in South Korea, these sweet children will soon be coming home to their forever family.  This portrait will be a gift for their foster parents.  I hope they enjoy it and I hope it brings joy to them each time they see it...because I know they will miss these two so much!  Foster parents are such blessings....Doubly so are the angels that will be adopting these sweet siblings. :)

A Day Of Drawing!

I spent the day today making three small drawings, all with india ink on paper.  My niece, Lily, will be celebrating her Homecoming in December....We officially welcomed her into our family two years ago from South Korea.  One small drawing I did today was in her honor. :)  I also created a small piece in honor of my nephew, Owen, who we welcomed home from Russia in 2007.  Such a blessed family!

Time To Find Your Treasures!

It has been quite a busy beginning to fall this year...the season is now in full swing, and I am just itching to create!  While my garden is holding steadfast and still producing a generous harvest, my artwork is beginning to take the reigns.  This is the perfect time of year to give a gift of art.  I just finished a portrait for a dear friend of my sister's, and I am beginning a second one for a couple embarking on their second adoption journey!  Stay tuned!!!

Welcome to THE HEARTH!

Hello World!

     I have so been looking forward to creating a space where I can share my love of ART and all things beautiful.  It has been years in the making, and I hope the anticipation spreads quickly!

     Here's a Sneak Peek at what is in store:

     THE HEARTH is the world I live in. THE HEARTH is Heart.  THE HEARTH is Earth. THE HEARTH is Art.  It is my inseparable relationship with HOME that surrounds my every endeavor, leading me to an irresistible passion to visually create what I feel.  

     God has given us all a mind and a will to choose. Our minds are amazing, full of fantastic thoughts.  Our thoughts lead to our choices...our choices lead to our moments....our moments lead to our paths....our paths lead to our journeys.....and our journeys always lead us HOME. HOME is the place where our stories begin.

     THE HEARTH is a magical place. It is a place of love, peace, emotion, and grace. THE HEARTH is my endless opportunity to share. It is my way of speaking a language that shares my thoughts, my choices, my moments, my paths, my journeys---my special HOME---with you.

Stay Tuned...
