Early Walk w Cassie Girl, then morning Pinterest experiment (including bloodshed)

Woke early this Sunday morning. I like how quite it is Sunday mornings, so Cassie and I set out for adventure. Just some bunnies, and the melodies of feathered friends. Home again, home again, jigity jig. We shared a breakfast of eggs over easy & homemade oatmeal muffin. As I scanned Pinterest on my phone, I noticed a diy for these cute sakura flowers,

so I decided to give them a try. Of course - PAPER CUT! After a lot of cursing and a Mickey band-aid the experimentation continued. I don't have any Japanese or origami paper and my drawing paper proved to be too thick, so I tried wrapping paper - didn't come out too bad. I may have to purchase some appropriate paper and do some more :)

Now what next? Any suggestions Cassie?

Orange Splash

I love to garden. Since moving to an apartment, I miss it, but at least I have my garden gallery :)

'Orange Daylily' soft pastel on paper
purchase this on Etsy

Are you there?

I know I've been absent from my blog for a while - been distracted by unforeseen events these past months and I'm trying to get back on track. I've been mostly posting to Facebook - sometimes that's all I can keep up with. www.facebook.com/RemingtonCreations

Summer's already half over, but plenty of warm days to enjoy.

Hot, Sticky, Crabby


Good Morning! It's gonna be a hot sticky one here, but I'm trying not to be crabby about it (coffee helps). Unfortunately for this guy, he can't help being anything but crabby

Variations - American Flag

After creating the 4th of July graphic, I had some ideas for the flag graphic with different treatments. The eagle added in the 4th version was an illustration I created several years ago.

220 Steps

I love the Outer Banks and I especially love Corolla, NC. It was a special favorite place for my husband and I. This is Currituck Light. 220 steps to the top where awaits a gorgeous view of Corolla, the ocean and The Whalehead Club. We have spent vacations in Corolla probably 20 times over the years and were even married in Corolla. Wonderful, wonderful memories. Every visit to the Outer Banks, I've visited this lighthouse and climbed the 220 steps to the beautiful view not seen anywhere else.

Currituck Light. The original painting is 11x14, watercolor on illustration board.

What a nice comment :)


I recently completed a custom order for an Etsy customer - a pastel painting of Ocracoake Light.
She left me some very nice feedback, and it made my day. This is what she said.


Even more beautiful in person! Thank you so much, it was WELL received.

I'm always relieved when someone likes their painting. It's why I do it - spread a little happiness.
