The loss of any tree, big or small, young or old, is always heartbreaking. Nice tribute.

"In Times of Chaos, Find Respite and Calm in Blooming Flowers"
11"x 14" acrylic on green canvas
Painted August 11, 2025
painting no. 95
Inspired by our flower garden under the white dogwood tree
#create #plant #flowers
This bright bluebird stopped by our glass patio table and made a cloudy day beautiful, made me smile, and posed long enough for to me to capture it in my phone camera. And then it flew away, because that’s what birds do. 😊
THE END
#bluebird
7 #paintings & 1 mixed media created in Jan & Feb.
Inspired by nature, hikes, our backyard, the snow blizzard, our hens Ruby and Rosie's nest, my yellow art studio, a 40-year-old ink drawing in my scrapbook, and paintings hanging in my home studio.
I say, “In times of world chaos, create.”
Getting ready to create my next painting.

Still working on my new oil painting.

I created a perfectly imperfect 18” x 24” acrylic painting on canvas of the 14 paintings hanging in my studio. It took me 13.5 hrs over 5 days. A fun, relaxing & meditative exercise. A creative way to document the first set of paintings hanging on the walls. www.miriamdiazgilbert.com/my-paintings
Great vest. Good luck with your first ultra. Which one?
I had a fun chat with Erica, host of the More Than Your Age podcast. We talked about overcoming adversity, ultrarunning, aging and making it fun, and much more.
