Ahhh Springtime...

"Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?"....Neltje Blanchan..

There are a hundred different things I should be doing today...BUT...I decided to quiet myself and just be for awhile. I have found a lovely place to perch beside the pool. The sun on my skin feels delicious!

It seemed as though winter was never going to leave us, but here it is springtime at last!

Everything is awakening with the promise of a new beginning...Everything being renewed..

I love hearing the birds chatter...and a chorus of tree frogs(which I have many)...even the distant sound of a lawn mower droning on is music to my ears....making me feel...at last...spring is here and very thankful and blessed!

My little strawberry patch made it thru the winter...

Blessings and peace....Kat.

I come from strong women

"I believe in strong women. I believe in the woman who is able to stand up for herself. I believe in the woman who doesn't have to hide behind someones back. I believe that if you have problems, as a woman you deal with them, you don't play victim, you don't make yourself look pitiful, you don't point fingers...you stand and you deal. You face the world with a head held high and you carry the universe in your heart."  C.Joybell C.

I was doing a series of paintings called 'I come from strong women' and this is one of the paintings. Acrylic on 16x20 canvas.

This theme brought to mind my two best friends...both Artists and both strong women. I had the pleasure of spending last Saturday evening with them....We shared a wonderful meal...we talked...we laughed...we cried...and then we painted! Was so good for the soul! What a great evening just...being who we are...Strong Women...
