Daffodils is inspired by the unruly area of our patio that resembles the jungles of Avatar, filled with wild ferns, enormous hostas, and various other plants and wildlife that I can't quite name. However, every spring, before this jungle takes over, we are treated to beautiful and colorful daffodils—a remnant from a garden that once was.

This year, our garden finally came to life! After seven years of hard work—pulling weeds, mulching, and even overdoing it with the zinnias, followed by a period of intentional neglect—the garden truly flourished. I'm not sure what magical ingredients came together to create such a vibrant display, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that next year will be even better, or at the very least, not worse.

I have been taking art classes this past year, including Abstract Landscapes, Abstract Florals, Loosening Up the Landscape, Confident and Colorful Landscapes, Unleash Your Creative Potential, and Canvas and Commerce, just to name a few. I love taking classes, and I enjoy seeing the work of other artists even more. It is fascinating how we can all take the same subject matter and use the same supplies to produce such different results. This painting is born from one of those classes.

August’s birth flower is the poppy. Its round, spread-out petals are bright and happy, just like my daughter, who was also born in August.

I wish these gorgeous cut flowers were from my own garden; instead, they are from the next best place for flowers: Trader Joe’s.

In my effort to ‘loosen up’ my painting style, I think I painted this piece at least eight times. Turns out, it is hard for me to relax.

On those scorching beach days when the sand feels like it’s on fire under your feet, you can always chill out your soles on the nearby dunes, which stay nice and cool.... just watch out for the burrs.

Being on the beach at night feels like experiencing the dark side of the moon—in the best way possible. It offers a completely different atmosphere compared to the daytime. The sand is cool, the beach is uncrowded, and the ocean appears untamed. Instead of lounging in swimsuits, everyone is bundled up in their hoodies.
I kind of love it.

Sand fences may be small, but they are incredibly effective! Made from slender wooden slats and sturdy metal wire, these little heroes play a vital role in protecting our beautiful coastal dunes. They help slow down wind, capture sand, and support the growth of native plants, all while providing a welcoming habitat for various coastal wildlife. By keeping our coastlines safe, they also help mark off hazardous areas on the beach, even if it means the dare-deveil weather monger in each of us can’t get any closer to the big waves and the coastal weather events happening just on the other side.

Least Bitterns are one of the smallest herons in the world, but unlike most herons, this bird clings to reeds and tall grass rather than wading through the shallow water. Their narrow body allows them to slip through the marsh undetected. Least Bitterns live in freshwater marshes along the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.

The first time I was pulled over for speeding was on Route 126 while driving from Eugene, Oregon, to the beach. The police officer must have noticed that I was unfamiliar with the area. Instead of giving me a speeding ticket, he handed me a road map, circled his favorite spot along the coast, and offered to show me the way. I followed him, maintaining a safe speed, all the way to the Oregon Dunes, Heceta Beach, and the coastal town of Florence.
