Falling for Fall.

Just a quickie post while I'm still working on my current watercolor.

I took these pictures last week in my front and back yard and thought I'd share them. I fall in love with fall all over every year. <3

Can you see the horse that lives across the street?! :D

The trees in our back yard are so fantastic. <3

I love autumn leaves on blue skys.

It's almost like its on fire... LOVE this one. <3

I was having fun with the framing effect of the closer leaves. ^_^

I'll have more posts this week! Keep your eyes open!!

My first blog post

So, I've decided to make this blog for a bunch of reasons. Mainly, I am hoping to use it as sort of an "archival" for all things of artistic nature that I may decide to dabble in: drawing, painting, poetry, singing, photography, philosophy, writing and anything else that I may come across and think would be worth exploring. Projects of my own, as well as other people's work that I come across and enjoy or think interesting. I want to spend time doing things that I've done in the past like music and photography, as well as new things like my most recent hobby of watercolor painting. Plus, there is just so much out there that I could do and love that I have no idea about, so I hope to also take any and all suggestions!! I just want to keep the creativity in my life flowing, and with this blog I will be able to store it, share it, and get feedback and new ideas! I also hope to inspire others to get out there and get in to something fun and new! There are things only you can create that people will never see/hear/read/think about unless you go do and share them!!


So, I really think this will be a great thing and I am excited about it. It is an incentive for me. A collection of beauty. A means to inspire. A reason and reminder to be proud.


I hope that you enjoy it!! <3

 My first art post is of my very first "official" watercolor painting. I recently decided to pick up a new hobby (something to keep my creative juices flowing), and watercoloring is something that I have always thought was really pretty. It is definitely something that I plan to keep learning about and practicing. So, hopefully you will be able to witness me progress!!


The first of many to come: "Sunset On The Beach"

-->LOOKING AHEAD: I have a project in mind which actually influenced the name of my blog: "Beneath The Surface". I recently came up with a poem, and made a sketch to go with it. I plan to do a watercolor of the sketch and post it with the poem, but I want to tweek my skills a little more, first! So, STAY TUNED!! :)
