My mom is an artist too. She is a fantastic artist and has mastered watercolor, acrylic and oil painting. Her style is all her own and I love everything she paints. We had the opportunity this last week to drive through Ghost Ranch where Georgia O’Keefe painted and lived. I took lots of pictures of the mountains and rock formations. I created a book online with all of our Ghost Ranch pictures for us to study the rocks and mountains and even flowers to paint. We had hoped to paint plein air while we were there, but a rain storm moved in. We couldn’t really hike to get a closer look because my mom is in here 80’s and not able to walk distances. We took as many pictures as possible and we will paint from our photo books when they come in. I will post photos of our paintings as we finish them. I am seriously humbled and honored to share this experience with my mom!

Stay creative in your daily activities. It is more than just art, it is an essential part of being!
