Acrylic painting of an open purple lotus bloom with bright yellow interior. What a beaut!
Oh this lotus... she was such a beauty. I think I still have a bit more work to do, but I'm close.

Small acrylic painting in progress of a meditative lotus blossom.
I'm working on my lotus today. Just about to jump into the most fun part, the glorious, brilliant yellow center.
More to come!

Here's my self-portrait for the BlueSky Portrait Challenge. It's mostly finished, mostly. I call it "In Love with Water."

For Portrait Challenge week, I decided to do a quick self-portrait. I'm using a photo from about ten years ago. Here are the beginnings. I hope to finish this afternoon.

Artwork on paper, pen and ink intersecting lines with deep shades of watercolor filled in to the resulting shapes.
Watercolor with pen and ink on paper. It was a gift for my hubby, entitled "I'm With You." Of late, it seems to take a lot not to get down in the dumps with all the disturbing news. Hopelessness feels powerless. Making art lifts me. I hope it lifts others, too.

Acrylic painting of mother and child before a large, bright window. Baby is cuddled in the arms of her mother, who has pushed her plate aside to comfort her child.
For the portrait challenge this week on Bluesky, here is a painting of my daughter and granddaughter. It call it, “Madonna and Child.”

Salt shaker, tumbler, and flower vase sit on a table. A yellow metal chair is at the table and a black metal fence stands before deep green foliage.
I am longing for warmer weather. Here's a quick painting from a warm morning at an al fresco breakfast.

An acrylic painting depicting a variety of eggshell colors juxtaposed with bright yellow yolks in a red bowl. Interesting that despite the varieties of shell color, the yolks are basically the same.

I'm missing warm days so I decided to paint some dahlias from summer's heat. Sometimes you just need to feel good about something.

January is slipping away. We are well on into 2026. For me January is time to reflect and reset.

Love this
Acrylic painting of five peppers, three yellow and two orange-red, sitting on a cool blue background.
Five Peppers! They were sitting on the counter, looking so lovely, I just had to paint them. And of course, then I ate them.

That is an amazing shot. I’m eager to see your eastern comparison! I’ve never seen that orange wing color here in the east but I’ve never caught a glimpse with wings extended either.
I hope all you folks out there have a lovely day today.

My shot of the Longhouse Studio popup booth at the Magical Marketplace, featuring my paintings and ornaments at this festive market.
I have happily participated in my last market of the year. The Magical Marketplace, like the rest, was a great experience. I will likely look at a different path for the new year. Here's what I learned.

Hey bug enthusiasts! I've just picked up a new set of prints. The original was painted to resemble an old scientific illustration. It was so much fun to create this dragonfly piece.

That is lovely!
A battalion of marbles rolls forward. The early morning sun illuminates these colorful orbs, casting long shadows that are almost as beautiful as the marbles themselves.
