Tulsa, OK is my new home. . . with new ART, new surroundings and family.

I bought Pastels and used my daughters Prismacolor pencils until my things arrived and I had use of a computer again. . . which was much longer than I expected.

Thank you Kristin and Eva for this wonderful world of art and artists.  We show our work, we learn from each other and  it is a beautiful Community of Artists at Paint Party Friday. Be sure and visit
as many of the artists as you can. . . . it's a great world.

 My move to Tulsa, OK: (Yes, it's in the US and no, I don't need a Passport) some of the comments I heard before my move.
I am originally from the Midwest, therefore, this is not a big shock to me.
I miss Florida, the kind of birds, the Ocean and the friends I made while there. It was like living in a Nature Center.

However, surprisingly I have seen so much nature in this Community that I now live in which is in Tulsa.

It has been, on the one hand a tortuous experience and, a fortuitous experience. God works in wondrous ways. But that's a story for another day.

I was three weeks without my 'things' and the truck finally arrived I had to turn around and move again. . . within the same community though. Tough month. But the tough was worth the outcome.

Some pictures of this pretty place I now call home:

 I am a cloud person so how could I resist the Moon and the clouds.

 My neighbor across the Courtyard has a Humming bird feeder.

They are so much tinier than I ever thought.

 The Bushes and trees are in beautiful bloom. . 

(end of June and all of July).

 The waterfall fountain. . . love to hear the sounds.

 Squirrels and birds are everywhere here. Unafraid and hungry.

 Good Afternoon little guy.

 The horses belong to the people across the street, 

however, their yard butts up against ours.

Excellent fodder for paintings and drawings.

 There is a little Female Downing Cardinal that has a 

Sweet Tooth, I mean beak. . she is a very small bird

and lives up in the tree next to the feeder.

 Amazing all the huge trees in the backyard.

 When I first moved into the new place, it was a rainy day.

We have a lot of trees in our courtyard . . quite beautiful.

 Don't know how many of you remember my Pelican made of rock.

He has a fine view of everything . . .

 . . . and the fountain is behind him.

 Pretty place, shady during the day.

 The backyard has trees, a brick barbeque, and plenty of yard. . .

 . . Plenty of shade too.

 The trees are huge all over the place, not used to seeing 

anything but Palms everywhere.

 The neighbors have a gorgeous barn.

I love the neighboring that everyone does . . . reminds me of old times in the Midwest. The way we all grew up back then was a real Blessing.

Blessings,

Janet
