Wow! What an incredibly warm summer we've had in Vancouver. I think it's one of the best summers I can remember. We've had all kinds of wildlife in our backyard - bear, cougar, raccoons, skunk, squirrels, noisy blue jays and crows and so on. I'm working on some ideas for my next set of paintings. I've also just published a website - check it out http://paulinemitchell.homestead.com/. It includes some of my photos.

Well, here it is, my first blog. Not quite sure yet how to do this but my kids are helping me. They're the ones that suggested I start a blog for my paintings. So many new things in my life right now. I'm a novice painter and loving (almost) every moment of it. I'd love to know what people think of my painting. Ciao
