Glow
Manolo helped me hang the Glow Bowls I bought from Diana Fayt's shop recently.
Love how they look against the concrete wall, specially at night with the tea lights lit.

Inspired
The first grade students at the Zamorano Fine Arts Academy in San Diego, CA
did a project inspired by my Map Birds, aren't they amazing?
You can visit their teacher's blog at this link.
Thanks so much Don! I'm honored.

Saturday Morning
Daniel & I spent the most wonderful morning painting outside & listening to music.
It was one of those really special perfect days.
This colorful flock of birds will be landing at my Big Cartel shop next week.
Daniel made the greatest portrait of Turbo in acrylics.
It will probably turn up at his blog soon :)
*For all of you who asked about the brush holder...
It's just an aluminum brush washer, you can check it out here.

Books, Book & more Books
Since we moved into the blue house I hadn't been able to organize our books.
They were covered in dust and in a sad, sad state of neglect.
So I folded up my sleeves & finally dusted each and every one of them
and organized them by subject. Of course Turbo was there to help.
They look so happy now!
And speaking of happy books... I'm thrilled to announce that
my birdies are in Heather's amazing new book!
I am honored to have contributed a couple of my watercolor paintings
to the Gallery section of Water Paper Paint.
Isn't that the prettiest book cover ever? I can't wait to get my own copy.
I absolutely love Heather's work and I'm glad to own a few of her originals.
I highly recommend you visit her blog and stop by her shop.

True Love
Manolo and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary today!
We drove a nearby farm that produces the most delicious artisanal organic sheep's milk cheese. Cheese heaven! It couldn't have been a more perfect day.

Prickly little things
You MUST make this sweet potato biscuit recipe from Stephanie, it's delicious!
I made grilled asparagus dressed with lime, extra virgin olive oil,
fresh ground pepper and sea salt...they're the best finger food ever.
I've got some news! A lot of people write to me asking if I ever sell my originals.
I have been hoarding all of them but decided to open up a Big Cartel shop called Geninne's Originals
where you'll be able to purchase some of them this coming Friday.
I hope you'll stop by to have a peek.
