I love color and right now the favorite seems to be orange, not just any orange but a wonderful tangerine color. It’s perfect for spring. So perfect in fact that I almost bought some tangerine colored peeps simply for the color. Don’t ask me what I was going to do with them once I got them home, maybe decorate the fireplace with them or something because I sure as heck wasn’t going to eat them.
I’m so drawn to colors and while I’m drooling over tangerine right now, the color I will be most loyal to is purple and all its various shades and hues. I never tire of looking at the color. It’s not surprising then that my most favored paintings are mostly purple.



It sounds like your pregnancy makes you crave paint chip samples rather than pickles and ice cream.
These are some of my favorite of your paintings, though I am pretty partial to the watercolors in your kitchen too. I can’t wait to have my landscape haning in my house.
I think you’re right. And you should see the most amazing tangerine colored dress I just bought.
Well, off to paint my dining room for the third time. Third time’s the charm.
I could not resist adding my gift from Meghan to her photos here! I begged and pleaded for the vineyard painting and it paid off, I got it for my birthday.
