Sunset Boulevard
I painted on a piece of fabric, and ended up using all my colors. In July I visited New York with my granddaughter, and we had a fabulous view at night from the roof of the house we were staying. Overlooking Manhattan. Manhattan seen from our roof in
Familiar Territory
“Road” evokes many thoughts, memories, connotations. I knew I wanted to take it very literally, so I googled all the streets I ever lived on in my life. I made a list of all the places where I lived and counted 13 different addresses. Some were in small towns,

Cherry Blossoms Spring
Japan was very cold this winter. The cherry trees slept well. They woke up and started to bloom. We sometimes have a picnic under the cherry blossoms. It is fun to enjoy eating foods, drinking Sake and singing Karaoke. The cherry tree

Spring Days
Rooflines # 17: Spring Days ©ColleenKole 2018 29″W x 40 ” H Gallery 1-5 After a few false starts on this prompt, I always come back to spring in the deep green mountains, the Green Mountains of Vermont. With the grey and white back drop of months upon months
