I love taking pictures of flowers. This amaryllis looked so translucent in front of the setting sun.

I have gone so long without posting! I have been busy painting but haven't uploaded any pictures yet. One painting was a gift for some friends as a welcome home gift. My friend's husband has been away for a year in Afghanistan and she sent me a beautiful photo that he took of some mountain ranges while he was there. It was very challenging to do because I've never painted such a scene before. The mountains were snowy on top and there was sand and scrub brushes in the valley below.

Also, we got a dog...after waiting so long for the right one. Her name is Hailey. She is definitely keeping us busy!
