  1. Good evening sweet Tammie Lee! I love to be welcomed by your smiling art. You should have seen me trying to watercolour today...NOT GOOD! I am better at scribbling ideas with words, and even that requires a lot!

    Isn't that Gene Kelley video fab? He is my all-time favorite and with Robert Palmer's song, you can't go wrong...have a lovely Friday! Anita

  9. Isn't nature inspiring! It's almost overwhelming taking a walk in a wood and being surrounded by such grace and beauty...which you well reflect in your drawings and pictures. :)

  23. I love oak trees too. I LOVE your paintings as well. That sweet acorn nymph just fill my eyes. She has such a droll sweetness about her face and in her expression.

    I've always thought of oak trees--especially the very old ones--as wonderfully warm old men.

    I often hug oak trees when I come upon them. Hahahaa...people think I'm nuts.

    (grin) ((hugs))
