DM for pricing I've always been crafty and have enjoyed repurposing items and giving them new life. A few years ago when my 2 sisters and I had a booth in a consignment store

, one of my sisters was refinishing furniture, the other was painting watercolor and acrylic pieces, and I started making custom signs for the home. I began painting a few years later in my late 50's. I love painting and trying new mediums, and processes. Thank you to all of you who continue on this journey with me by purchasing my signs, or my artwork. I truly appreciate each one of you and your comments and encouragement.

This painting is one I created some time ago, and it’s always felt like it was never quite finished. Every time I looked at it, I knew there was something more it needed—but I couldn’t see exactly what.

Lately, I’ve been looking at it with fresh eyes, and it reminds me of the lush beauty and vibrant colors of Jamaica. And for the first time, I know what it needs.

Sometimes a painting just needs time. As artists grow, we notice things we couldn’t see before. What once seemed incomplete suddenly becomes clear, and we’re able to bring the vision to life in a new way.

The more I think about it, the more I’m reminded that God works that way in us too. He is never finished with us. He patiently shapes us, refines us, and adds layer upon layer of grace, beauty, and purpose in His perfect timing.

As I return this piece to the easel, I’m reminded of the promise in Philippians 1:6: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

I’m excited to see where this painting goes from here—and grateful that God isn’t finished with any of us yet. ❤️

Creating gentle reminders to pause and see God’s beauty all around us. 🌿🎨

We made it home from our ministry trip to beautiful Jamaica last week with hearts full of gratitude for all the Lord had done, and wonderful memories to cherish. I found endless inspiration for painting in the island's stunning landscapes, and the warmth of the people made our time there even more special. Until next time, beautiful Jamaica! 🇯🇲 ❤️

While I haven’t painted in a couple of weeks, I’ve been getting ready for a ministry trip to Jamaica. Just a reminder that creativity never really leaves us — sometimes it simply pauses while life calls us elsewhere. ❤️ 🇯🇲

Mother’s Day can be beautiful and joyful, but for many women it can also hold grief, longing, heartache, or loss. Some women long for children, some have lost children, some are estranged from their children, and some are deeply missing their own mother today.

That’s why I love this reminder from Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge:
“All women are not mothers, but all women are called to mother.”

Women bring life in so many ways — through nurturing, encouraging, mentoring, praying, loving, creating, serving, and caring for others. A woman’s worth is not determined by whether she has physically borne a child.

I especially love Genesis 3:20:
“Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.”

Eve was called “mother” before she ever bore her first child. What a beautiful reminder that motherhood is bigger than biology alone.

So this Mother’s Day, let’s honor ALL women — the mothers, spiritual mothers, nurturers, mentors, caretakers, those grieving, those waiting, and those faithfully pouring into others every day.

Happy Mother’s Day to ALL women. You are seen, valued, and deeply loved. 🤍

We never know what we’re going to see on our bird feeders, and lately they’ve been especially fun to watch.

Check out this beautiful rose-breasted grosbeak! These birds are typically migratory visitors here in Georgia (except for a few in the North Georgia mountains), so it always feels a little special when they stop by.

What really caught my attention—besides those stunning colors—was how different the male and female look. The male is striking with black and white feathers and that bold red patch on his chest. The female, though, looks nothing like him—she’s brown and streaked, with a soft white stripe above her eyes. Same bird, completely different look!

And of course… the squirrels are keeping us entertained with their nonstop gymnastics on the feeders 🙄😂 Any tips on how to keep them off? I’m all ears!

I also saw something new this weekend. We have plenty of chipmunks in the yard, but I’ve never seen one on the feeder before. This little guy had his whole head stuck inside the opening like he had found the jackpot.

I love seeing all the birds (and even the chipmunks)… but the squirrels? Not so much 😅

What’s the most interesting bird you’ve seen at your feeders? And if you’ve figured out how to outsmart squirrels… please share your wisdom 😄

Not all of my birds in this series are quiet little visitors at the feeder. 😊

Most of my work is done in acrylic, but this one—Hank—was me testing the waters with watercolor for a change.

And honestly… he’s got a bit more personality (and maybe a little attitude too).

I loved playing with the looser brushstrokes and texture—it made him feel even more full of life (and attitude).

Sometimes it’s the unexpected ones that end up being your favorite.

Would Hank make you smile if you saw him in your kitchen? 🐔

Working on finding the right frame for this one…

Since it’s on paper, it’ll need to be framed—but I love seeing how different styles can completely change the feel of a piece.

This one started to come to life the moment I paired it with this warmer frame.

It’s always fun to see that transition from painting… to something ready for a home.

What kind of frame do you usually gravitate toward for your home?
Do you tend to prefer warmer gold frames… or something more subtle, or modern?

My first blooms of Spring!

What’s your favorite flower or shrub to look for in the spring?🌹🌷🌻

This one feels like joy. 💛

Part of my Songs of Spring series, this little bird looks like it’s mid-song—like it just couldn’t keep it in.

There’s something about that… so full of life and energy, like a small moment of praise right in the middle of an ordinary day. 🎶

I love how different each bird feels—some quiet and still, others full of movement and expression.
