Bookmarking Joy in December, 7

Way back in the day, year after year, I baked cookies, cookies, cookies for sharing during the Christmas season. Now, it seems, I “bake” bookmarks, bookmarks, bookmarks.

Back in the day, a new friend was likely to receive a plate of cookies in December. Now, a new friend just might receive a bookmark instead.

Bookmark recipe:
viridian, crimson, white,
black, burnt umber, joy.

My Story

In 2014, I grab an unexpected opportunity to paint.

To make art.

I get hooked.

In 2015 I start a blog—a diary of my life as an artist.

I post my paintings and their stories. The good, the bad, the ugly.

My compass points: bust through fear, be playful, get messy, trust my gut.
