Just a quickie sketch of a friend’s lab, looks a bit like our Stella, too. We love labs. #labrador #welovelabs #watercolorsketch @joplyler

Easter Week begins with a beautiful Palm Sunday at our beloved St. Mark’s in the Valley. #stmarksinthevalley #losolivos #palmsunday #hosanna #allglorylaudandhonor Regram of photo by @billyhurbaugh.

The Valley keeps greening, and painting beckons ever stronger. The view of our neighbors’ ranch, from our front door at #rancholazaca. Oil on linen panel, 9 X 12, by moi. #landscape #pleinairpainting #losolivos #santaynezvalley #santabarbarawinecountry #francesschultz

What a handsome bobcat we spotted at the ranch this morning. So healthy and strong. Amazing what a little rain will do for our wildlife. Photo by @w.cromer #rancholazaca #santaynezvalley #losolivos #bobcatpride @trexfuqua @ntlong95 @difuqua @ffuqua @dusister1 @ruthfuqua

The gorgeous centerpiece on the dining table of our #neworleans hosts for a cocktail party last night honoring #artinbloom donors and #neworleansmuseumofart

A great day at #neworleansmuseumofart and #artinbloom speaking about #thebeecottagestory ! There is also a brilliant exhibit of #chineselanterns, as pictured. Thank you #neworleans !

More fun from #artinbloom2016 in #neworleans. This gator in the young people’s exhibit and brilliant! Inspired by Walter Anderson and e excited by sophomores from the Louise S. McGehee school. #cardboardart #cardboardsculpture #alligator #gator @mcgeheeschool @noma1910
