I love this old church that is in the NC mountains.

St. John's Episcopal Church in Valle Crucis, NC.

It sits on a hillside down a curvy, country road.  

It was founded in 1862, and they still hold services there 

during the summer months.

Thank you, David Hill, for the photo reference.

Happy Sunday friends!

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday.  

I spent the day enjoying calls, cards, and text messages from so many.

I received this beautiful blue and white vase filled with 

sunflowers from my sweet friend,

so of course today I painted them.  

I hope they bring you as much joy as they did me!

Hugs to you!

Decided to paint a Carolina Panther this week.

They are not playing as well as they should, 

but it is early in the season.  

Hopefully this paining will bring good luck to them.

I am happy to paint other players if you have a favorite.

Keep Pounding, Panthers!

Happy Easter!

Spring has sprung, and hopefully here to stay.

This is my favorite time of year as buds emerge and things begin to turn green again.

I had to go buy a few flowers today, even though it's too early to put them outside just yet.

Soon, our yard will be filled with various shades of red, pink, yellow and purple.

It is so fun to observe the daily, subtle changes.

This painting is gallery wrapped, so it looks good unframed.

Have a great day!

KEEP POUNDING!

This painting was inspired by our awesome Carolina Panthers.

The photo reference was taken from our seats during the Green Bay game.

Still unbelievable that they are 11-0 this year.

So proud of them!

Keep Pounding, Cats!

Leaves are starting to change colors and days are getting a little shorter.

Time to say so long to these beautiful hydrangeas. 

I hope you are enjoying these gorgeous days after surviving so much rain.

It makes the sunnier days even more special.

I found this little boat on a recent beach trip.  

I am drawn to these little guys, just waiting for someone to untie them.

This is one of the pieces that will be included in the 2016 calendar.

The calendar is filled with my paintings, one for each month.

They will be available soon!

I'll keep you "posted."

I set this up outside this morning after I finished my coffee and planted the pansies.

The morning light was just perfect for painting,

and our North Carolina weather is awesome in September.

It's just too nice to be inside.

Hope you are having a great day!

If you are lucky you can catch the horses of Carrot Island grazing near the shore.

One day this summer we actually found 3 different herds, totally 24 horses.

They are so pretty in their natural habitat.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for visiting my blog.

My sweet friend, Debbie, shared some zinnias from her beautiful garden with me.

Now, that girl has a green thumb if I ever saw one!

She tends her flowers with love and care and has a large variety of perennials.

I hope to paint more of them soon.

What a great way to start my weekend.

Have a great day, and thanks again for stopping by.

I am happy to do this painting, or any others in different sizes.
