Hugs from cousin

Sketched one of the very few pictures I have of myself as a child. And this pic incudes my dear, long-lost-and-now-found, cousin. Interesting to try to crisp-up this blurry old B&W photo (circa 1968). #belove #graphite #selfportrait

Me

On Mother’s Day I usually do something athletic–something hard yet gratifying; something I can be proud of…you know, like being a mom…Well, ever since I broke my ankle while jogging a simple and ordinary path, I’ve become pathetically out of shape. So in the spirit trying something hard yet gratifying, I’ve sketched my first self-portrait…Obviously…

Fiddler crab

Found this little fiddler crab on a windy January afternoon, after a storm had blown through Cocoa Beach. So cute! #florida #crab #cocoabeach #oceanlife #art #graphite

Kona Snail

As a beekeeper, I’m always looking for flowers that attract pollinators. While admiring this little honey bee foraging this beautiful yellow damiana, I spotted a giant snail How beautiful it was under the lush green leaves.
