 Happy Easter

 I guess these guys were busy last night.

 Deciding what to do this sunny Easter Sunday.

Enjoy your day.........

I am sharing this with Sweet Shot Tuesday and Shadow Shot Sunday.

On My Kitchen Counter 4

Cold and snowy winter days are hopefully over.
They kept me indoors setting up

fruit and veg still life possibilities for future paintings. 

Long winter days can drive one

bonkers and I sometimes resorted to playing with my food before preparing it.

With such colors,,, who could resist painting such beauties.

Too pretty to eat you say.  

That is the best part,,,eating the props.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful start to springtime.

Back to the drawing board.....

Out My Patio Door 10

 Happy last day of February to you!

 Winter is still hanging on here.  

Somedays the fog is so thick you cannot see beyond the trees.  

No butterflies on this butterfly bush,,,,that is for sure but then

somedays are beautifully sunny.

Winter always lets me know who was prowling around in my garden.

Somedays I even get lucky and see one of them off in the distance.

Hope February was good to you...let's see how March begins.  What do you
think ,,,,a lion or a lamb?

Pantone Color of the Year for 2015

MARSALA is the color of the year ...a naturally robust and earthy wine red or burgundy.

Hearty, yet a stylish tone which is universally appealing and translates easily to

fashion, beauty, industrial design, furnishings and interiors....according to Pantone.

 A beautiful color for fashion.

 A lovely color found in Mother Nature.

 An appealing color for interior as well as exterior.

A beautiful way to start off 2015... with such a beautiful color!

What do you think of Marsala?

Read more about it and past colors of the year at Pantone.

You can also see past colors of the year here on my blog too.

Ring in the New 2015

 Here we are again,,,ringing in another New Year...2015!!

Some of the best days are yet to come!

Since many people look to make changes or seek

suggestions at this time ......let me help with a few resolutions.

 How does shopping a lot less in 2015 sound to you.....

Maybe eat a lot less ice cream in 2015.... 

Vow to get together with dear friends a lot more often in 2015..... 

 Or maybe a new hair style is what will help you be a better you in 2015.....

Of course you could finally enter the Miss Donut Queen Contest and win

a full year of all the donuts you can eat in 2015.....

Or maybe something sporty....like diving lessons at the local pool

in 2015......

Perhaps be more trendy in 2015 and wear more bangles...... 

Or stop smoking in 2015....I mean look what it has done to Barbie!!!

I heard she has since stopped....good on her...

Take up Street Art.....let your artistic talents shine in 2015... 

I personally think we should all live like this happy dog below......don't you?

.....

 live this year like the gate has been left open !!! 

because......

Start today.....try something new.......surprise yourself......

let yourself go......love your life....

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!!!
