Elisabeth Elliot

Rest sweet in Jesus, dear lady! I will always think of Elisabeth Elliot as one of the wise women who helped me navigate the early years of marriage and motherhood. She died today, and we should all miss her. She was a treasure! When I think of her, I always think of this quote. It is how she began her radio program every day, and I can still hear her calm voice saying it.

Sunny Days & Sundays

I introduced some new markers to some old markers on this lovely, sunny Sunday. And, if you aren't humming a Carpenters' song now, I might not have communicated what I hoped to.

Control

This is just a little something I've learned from watercolor, and it's true in life, too!

Only Today

We Have Only Today, watercolor and pen on 140lb. paper, 2011

This was a study to refresh my color mixing ability and get comfortable holding a brush again. It's been years since I last worked with watercolor. Too long. But, as the saying implies, it's never too late to begin. My signature is reduced to initials, which I prefer.
