I couldn’t ask for more inspiration. Sometimes I feel like the luckiest writer and artist in the world!  As I write this, I’m looking out my studio window at the woods of black oaks and ponderosa pines.  Here are just a few of the visitors that I see every day–the hawk was right out my window as I sat at the drawing table.  The spring brings us countless wildlife, including rabbits, doves, finches, and beautiful little grey foxes with red bellies. The deer and squirrels are year-round.  All the models I need for creating wonderful characters!!  These were all taken from my windows, here on our beautiful 10 acres of heaven.
