I love art and visit art museums or open air art installations whenever I can. There are always oddities among them!

The Hunt for Joy: Making a Rainbow
Cee’s On the Hunt for Joy is in its 18th week and the theme for this week is Make Your Own Rainbow.
I love to draw and occasionally paint. I also enjoy coloring books. Here are two coloring pages I did. The first is called “Rainbow Wheel Mandala,” done with markers. The second is “Rainbow Tessellation,” done with gel pens.
Some of my other artwork: The first is called “Arizona Desert,” which I painted with acrylics; the second is untitled, drawn with charcoal pencils.
As bloggers who follow me know, I do a lot of photography also. These photos I took in various places at various times.
Gay pride at Solstice Parade, Seattle
Colorful scene in Regensburg, Germany
This colorful Tanzanian bird is called lilac-breasted roller, and it really does seem to have every color of the rainbow!
Sunset over North Atlantic Ocean
A real rainbow, South Dakota. We should have stopped and hiked over that field to the end of the rainbow to see if there was a pot of gold! 😉
CFFC: Things People Play With
The topic this week for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is Things People Play With. (I apply the term “Play with” rather loosely! 🙂 )

RDP #72: Cat
The Ragtag Daily Post theme today is Cat. That’s a big one for me, since I am a cat lover!! But I’ll be selective…here goes.
Dale (my husband) and Katy (me) with two big cats outside an art gallery in Santa Fe, NM.
I recently went to a wine and painting event with some women from my church. Most people painted a flower. I painted a cat! (This is the first painting I’ve done since college.)
Cat-o-nine-tails at West Park in Des Plaines, where I often walk.
Finally, my cat Hazel, sitting on our coffee table (which she’s not supposed to do).
