The title of this blog was inspired by the song "Come from the Heart."* This song left a lasting impression on me from the first time I heard it--performed by Garnet Rogers in a small venue many years ago. The lyrics have become quite popular, so you have probably heard it, too. The chorus is:
"You've got to Sing, like you don't need the money,
Love, like you'll never be hurt,
You've got to Dance, like nobody's watching,
It's got to come from the heart if you want it to work."
(*to the best of my research, this song was written by Richard Leigh and Susanna Clark and recorded by Kathy Mattea)
I knew that if I wanted to start an art blog, I would have to "Paint like Nobody's Watching." I've never put my art "out there" before. I never had to wonder if anyone was watching before. Now, here I go....
I do think at least my mother will be watching.

I get the first comment! And I love the apples! Pears? I really don't want to get this wrong. :)
Seriously, I want that painting. I'll be watching.
Stefanie, no relation to Meredith. OK, yes I am.
Thanks for visiting and commenting, Stef. Yes, they are apples. I am glad you like them.
Nice work! If I ever buy a house...maybe I can commission you to do some artwork for the walls. :-)
Thanks, Westyman, that's a nice compliment. Thanks for visiting my blog, too.
As I tried to say before, I love being able to look at your beautiful paintings and also read what you have to say...and yes, your mother is watching!!!
Thanks, mom. The blog will be dedicated to you...it makes me happy that now you can see what I'm doing.
Love the colors in this painting!
Thank you very much, Mary.
I need to get one of your paintings for my newly-renovated home office! Love the colors on this one. And I was just thinking this afternoon that we should design those cabinet door quilts this summer . . . I'll let you know when I'm "free."
Hi Ellen! Thanks for visiting. What a nice surprise. I'm glad you like the painting. And yes, we must get to those quilts. The cabinets are the perfect canvas. We probably should not wait until we have nothing else to do!
