Foggy morning, foggy thoughts. I feel like I’m still shaking off the remnants of 2012 like shaking off the cold. The weather has been drastically different than last year which really couldn’t even have been considered a winter and I am jonzin’ for spring in the worst way. Greener pastures sound wonderful.
I have been thinking of the accomplishments I had in 2012 and I’m making plans for 2013. I’ve been working daily on a children’s book that I’m doing the illustrations for in the form of cartoons and I’m ready to get back into my painting. I tend to have a short attention span for projects even ones that I enjoy.
I feel like reflecting on some paintings from 2012 and so I will post some of my favorites and why in the next few posts. I hope you join me.
What are you reflecting on from 2012?
Foggy morning, foggy thoughts, sounds like a good day to curl up with a book! We’re still waiting for winter around here, I have all kinds of crazy things blooming and REALLY hope it doesn’t mess up our spring! Can’t wait to see which paintings you decide to share!

I kinda liked having a bit of winter. The snow was beautiful now I’m sick of it and ready for warm temps and blooming and flowering things like you’ve got!
I’m off to a slow start to share the paintings, but it’s coming! =)
We have totally had an inversion here for the past 10 days, it is so weird, so here in the valley fog and freezing temps. and at 7, 000″ up the mountain 58 and brilliant sunshine, I know where I should be 🙂
Have a lovely, Tuesday, cheers, T. 🙂
Isn’t that the way it goes?! Crazy weather everywhere. I’m ready for spring! You have a great Tuesday as well T 🙂

Hi Jaime! I just followed you from your post on Vanessa’s (AFT) blog.
Did I see somewhere here that you’re from New Harmony In.? Isn’t that the cool historic town that you get to by going over a little toll bridge? My husband & I used to stop there on our way to Florida. Each time we would stay a little longer & look around.
I haven’t been there in a while. Isn’t there a little museum or something there too. I was just in Evansville this summer visiting my sister-in-laws mom. Her mom owns a little golf course down there.
I’m from New Lenox, IL. just south of Chicago.
I snooped around your paintings a little. They are very nice. The crow caught my eye. I love crows & ravens. They are very smart birds.
Hi Laura, So great to meet you! Yes, New Harmony is the town you’re referring to. It has great history, I love it. It is just a quaint little town on the banks of the Wabash River and reminds me of something out of a Norman Rockwell painting. We recently had our toll bridge closed down, but don’t let that stop you, we are just a few minutes from the interstate (I64). Hopefully it will be back open, the states (Illinois and Indiana) are bargaining. Next time you’re around our beautiful little town, stop in for a fantastic pizza at Samuel’s and be sure to shop at The Mews and all the galleries and fairly new is Sarah’s Harmony Way where you can sample Indiana’s first beer (http://www.sarasharmonyway.com). To find out all our little town has and its special events go to http://www.newharmony.biz You really can make a nice long weekend out of it. Stay at our Bed and Breakfast or The New Harmony Inn and don’t forget to eat at the Red Geranium. I feel like a commercial for our town now… haha
I grew up in Evansville, which golf course are you talking about? My dad is a golfer and he’s probably golfed there.
Thank you so much for your nice comments and I’d love to see you back here. I loved painting that Raven and I have plans for a series of ravens and crows. I know they are very smart birds. My great grandmother (I was told) had a pet crow named Timmy that could speak! My original painting is still available if you’re interested 😉 it’s 12×12. Thanks for stopping by and chatting.
I don’t know why I said Evansville. A friend of my mom’s lived there.
The golf course is in Jeffersonville. I think it’s called Twilight. It’s very small. That’s a little more east from you I guess.
Yeah, I’ve heard of Jeffersonville but I don’t think it’s anywhere I’ve been. I think it is east of us. But what a cute name, huh? Twilight reminds me of a drive in movie theater 🙂
