Studio/Art Gallery
I recently walked into an office building to meet with Janine at Face Bar in Concord, CA. She kindly took me in at 5:45pm on Tuesday Jan 24th to remove my eyelashes. While this procedure was being done she told me that this was her after retirement job and that she retired from AAA. While she…

Website
My art and photography website https://raquelamaral.smugmug.com I like this site because I can protect my pictures if and when I want too. Also I needed a public place to share photos of family and friends other than my Shutterfly’s account. I like this site because I can create galleries within folders to keep it organized unlike…

Express
Writing for me isn’t something that comes easy. I’m better expressing myself with my camera eye and with my paint brush. I love using my camera to capture where I am. Here in Portland comfy and cozy in my hotel room. Looking down on the street below. The temps were in the 20s. The street…

Art Gallery
I’ve been sharing/posting my paintings on instagram a lot recently. I get more feedback from followers than I did from my Facebook page. Maybe it’s from using the hashtags or because it’s a different social culture. Who knows? About three weeks ago, I received a comment from an Art Gallery on one of my painting’s post,…

Write
It’s been a while since I’ve written on my blog. I’ve been working. A couple of times I thought Oh I need to write on my blog. But didn’t make the time. Yesterday I thought Ok I’m going to share a few photos of my new jewelry designs. I searched on bookmarks for my wordpress…

Eye C
We see and we watch. Light flickers around until it’s so bright we can’t see any shadow. The shadow is cast. But light illuminates beyond it. Creatures know when to appear, when it is safe in the light to wander out. To catch the little buggers on the road was captivating my eye. Scoops of…

Horse
Love horses. I’ve never ridden one and don’t desire too. But their energy is so calm and loving. I drive to the park during my lunch and pass a field where two horses are in their stables. Once parked I eat my lunch and take a walk. My horses love to talk and pose for…

Reservoir
I walked around the Lafayette Reservoir yesterday. It was such a beautiful spring day and it’s only February 21st. Lots of other people were out walking and enjoying the day too. The walk was 3.7+- miles up and down. Really good exercise for heart, body and spirit. The storks were large! One flew overhead while…
