Spring is moving toward summer, and the beaches are heaven in 90F plus weather. Of course, social distancing is necessary. The seagulls may behaving, but I can’t tell about the people.

Trees never cease to allure! Personality, character, beauty. No idea what kind this is, but its bark is so beautiful that it caught my eye, and my lens.
Rise Up! Sing Along! Sign Along!
From the blog Fraggle’s Other Place comes a request to share this video, made by her stepdaughter Emma to inspire the deaf, and others, to know that our lives under Covid-19 won’t be imprisoned forever:
Tree, Alabama Hills
The Alabama Hills in California are stunning. Seasons are harsh and beautiful. Here, pen and ink to get away from perspective and buildings! Why is it that nature is so much easier and relaxing to paint?!
Icky and Not Too Icky
Let’s start with the flowers I did that I like. Spontaneous background, flat brush, working on edge of brush for dots and lines of stems and flowers. No pencil drawing. I liked painting this one a lot. Not so icky.
This one absolutely sucks. Pencil drawing. Overworked. I was ready to snap the brushes and burn down the house. I really hated doing this painting as it so uptight. Icky. Icky. Icky.
