Creatively Thinking

  Featured image: Rainbows in My Studio As I sit, I can feel stillness and quietness surround me. The sun appears above the garage roof, and when I look back again to my blank white page, I see rainbows dancing across it. Such a small thing, such a beautiful thing. Such a precious gift, reminding me of the divine and the glorious wonder of simply being in the sun this morning with a cup of coffee, blue sky, and rainbows. I take a deep breath and begin the day.

  Featured image: Sunrise In The Morning At The Lake First sip of coffee, and I look out at the morning beginning. The sun has moved and is rising now at the other end of the garage roof. Days are longer now—yea. Mornings come sooner. The first rocks are showing in the rock flower garden. Those smaller birds are returning that left during the really cold spell we had. Pretty soon flocks of finches will return, and the feeders will quickly empty, and I will have to fill them more often. So many things to look forward to. The sun is the best part, though—especially when it hides behind the Queenie tree and its glorious rays peek through its branches.

  Featured image: Along the Edge III Lately I have been weaving. Weavings of color symbolize a creative flow of life. The edges of the woods … well … well … they are like a fence, and I find a need to move beyond the edge into the center. The center … for the center invites discovery, and yes, protection and hiding places.

  I’m honored and grateful to share that my painting Intersections has been accepted into the 2026 National Juried Exhibition of the Georgia Watercolor Society , juried by Carol Carter . Intersections was selected from among 159 submitted works, and I’m truly honored to have this work included. This painting reflects ideas I return to often—the places where paths cross, where movement meets stillness, where one direction gives way to another. Intersections can feel uncertain, but they are also rich with possibility. They ask us to pause, to consider, and sometimes to choose with courage. The exhibition will be held at the Carrollton Center for the Arts in Carrollton, Georgia, from April 18 through May 22, 2026. I’m thankful for the opportunity to share this work in such a thoughtful setting and for the continued invitation to be part of conversations that honor imagination, reflection, and new directions. 💛
