Carol Ann Conners Art Journal

The hot inland inland valleys draw in the fog – sometimes for days. The winter lake is drying up. Happy 4th of July!

I have been so busy with my day job running a business and working in our gardens at home,  that I have not had much time for painting. No worries. I will get back to it very soon. Meanwhile, I am still making miniature beaded baskets like this variation of the Peyote Basket.

Watercolor – Arches 300 lb Cold Press Cotton

I  have rekindled my enjoyment of beading in recent weeks and have produced a few small beaded baskets.

Materials include #11 glass seed beads, nylon beading thread, and a #10 beading needle.

I feel really blessed to live here by the confluence of the Eel River and the Pacific Ocean.
