I'm just trying to keep cool here while still painting from the patio!
More mermaids in both watercolor and acrylics will soon be available here:

Loving the tranquil colors and oh, that texture on the acrylics!
Makes me happy!
Enjoy your day, friends!

The temperatures are rising here on the prairie.
Each day, a little warmer, making patio sitting a bit uncomfortable but I stick it out because I have waited so long to be hot!
I just drink more water, tropical smoothies...
And think about mermaids and the deep blue sea. (In this case, a turquoise sea)!
I think that my next goal is to paint a series of mermaids. They are so much fun to paint and oh, these colors! Don't they just scream "Summer"?
Hey! In case you haven't heard yet, I am making the transition from my "Missy Trent Art" page to a group format... Still I call it "Missy Trent Art". Please, find the group on Facebook and join us there!
I do believe that having a group will be a more personal way to interact with my followers and a nice way to share my art available for purchase. You never know... I may even paint with you, using the fun Facebook live video feature!
Even my home is looking tropical with a touch of turquoise, blues, and this beautiful wood dough bowl that was given to me from my dear friend, Gayla! Love it!
I could not decide whether to put fruit in the bowl or the candles and potpourri?
I suppose I can alternate, right?!
What have you been doing under the big yellow sun?
We have been grilling supper in the evenings and I am enjoying Mediterranean and Greek salads with homemade hummus!
Life is good!
Blessings to you all!
See you soon!

Don't you just love this time of the year?
I cannot get enough of this sunshine and time spent on the patio!
I have done a little patio painting...
(Acrylics on canvas, still in progress)
But for the most part, I have been playing with my cameras more than my art supplies!
Snap, snap.
It's the simple, every day objects that I find are the best subjects. Often, these things may go unnoticed.
Take a moment to observe your surroundings...
You will find some lovely photo opportunities, I promise!
Enjoy your sunshine!!!

Oh, just look at that creamy, vibrant red!
My fingers are dirty today as I paint.
It all began early this morning. I bounced out of bed, prepared the coffee and paused to snap this photo...
You see, I always stop at this window, each morning, so that I may peek out at the sky, the pond, and our land. I never want to miss out on any magical happenings taking place on the other side of this window!
Then I saw the assembly line that I placed onto the dining room table the night before. My "to do" for today.
Christmas ornaments.
Yes, it's time if I want to stay ahead of the game. Several of these are custom ornaments for a client who orders every year...and, a year in advance.
I have some fresh ideas and changes coming soon! I will certainly tell you all about it soon!
It has been a very quiet past few days here with my hubby being away and only having myself and two dogs to tend to. We have been outdoors, in the garden...
Harvesting salad!
We have been walking, patio sitting, reading, playing, shadow dancing.
Thinking about this guy...
Going through more pictures from last weekend's trip...
I have enjoyed a few naps too!
Enjoy your weekend, my friends!

Hello!
I do hope that you had a nice Memorial Day weekend!
We have just returned from a little get-away so this morning I am returning to my routine...
beginning the day with my art journal and coffee, from the patio.
I just cannot get enough of this beautiful weather.
I reflect on our trip to Branson and West Plains, MO.
Nature.
An old school house from the past.
One of my favorite tv shows growing up, was "Little House on the Prairie".
Once entering the school house, I was taken back...
And thinking about Laura Ingalls Wilder. I am quite curious about Mansfield, Missouri, where the Ingalls family moved to in 1894 and established home, in which they called, "Rocky Ridge Farm". I must visit Mansfield soon!
To think...
That these desks were once occupied by students in knickers and handmade dresses and school bells rang manually from a one room school house with an out house located behind the building. At times, I believe that I belonged there myself... living a true prairie lifestyle!
There is simply something very grande and uplifting about being beneath a big, open sky with only nature and a few structures...or not.
I always return back home feeling so inspired and more balanced.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Until next time...
