This month’s new fused glass art release was inspired by the natural beauty of Oregon’s mountains, gardens, and fields of flowers. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought it would be the perfect time to spread the love. Mountain Magic My very first visit to Oregon began with a drive to Mt Hood.Continue reading “The Magic of Love and Friendship”

Backyard Birds: Nuthatch’s Song
When I sat down to work on a hummingbird drawing I started several months ago (meant to be the 12th in my Backyard Birds series) I realized I hadn’t honored my love of the nuthatches yet. So, I set aside that sketch and let my admiration for these funny little feathered artists come through myContinue reading “Backyard Birds: Nuthatch’s Song”
Backyard Birds: Chickadee Dee Dee
One of the most commonly seen birds in my backyard is the clever, curious, and very musical chickadee, recognizable by their sweet “dee dee dee” song. These little cuties love the bird feeder and don’t travel far like those that migrate to other regions each year. One afternoon this Fall, I was relaxing on myContinue reading “Backyard Birds: Chickadee Dee Dee”
Backyard Birds: Hummingbird Happiness
I think it’s time I shared the Hummingbird story I mentioned in my first Backyard Birds post a couple of months ago. One afternoon in July I spotted a tiny baby hummingbird perched on top of one of my tomato cages. It looked as if he was confused or injured.

Hummingbirds love fragrant flowers, and there are few flowering shrubs with as much allure as the Hot Lips Salvia. Hundreds of perfect blooms call to nearby hummingbirds to feast. This is why I planted these shrubs around my yard, especially near the glider loveseat where I sit while enjoying a sunny day in my garden.Continue reading “Backyard Birds: Hummingbird’s Grace”
Backyard Birds: Leap of Faith
Witnessing the anticipation and quick movements of the Junco birds in my yard as they leap into the air inspired me to draw this backyard bird in action. While creating this sketch, I focused on expressing the animal’s movement and intensity just before liftoff. There’s an incredible sensation of excitement and hope that builds upContinue reading “Backyard Birds: Leap of Faith”
Backyard Birds: Sparrow’s Glance
The common House Sparrow visits my yard often; they are a social bird and love to dine wherever people are. While I was spending the weekend with a friend in Los Angeles, she took me to an adorable little cafe for breakfast. Just as we sat down at our table outside on the patio, aContinue reading “Backyard Birds: Sparrow’s Glance”
