Girl Trip: Hot Springs, Arkansas – Thanksgiving Weekend
Hot Springs, Arkansas, has always been a popular vacation destination for the more mature adult crowd, and I guess I have finally reached that generation that aches to hit the healing mineral waters of Hot Springs. Pun intended. Once your kids grow up, there comes a...

Jordan: Petra, Amman & the Dead Sea
Jordan was a very spiritual trip for me. I felt the historical significance of everyplace we visited. It is a little scary, in this day and age, to be an American woman visiting the Middle East. There is no doubt that we are different, and with my...

Henderson Beach State Park, Destin, Florida
These are photos I took at Henderson Beach State Park in Destin, FL last week. I was trying to show good examples of the horizon line, and how where you place it on your painting changes the focus of your piece. Of course the horizon is always a straight line, but...
