I Love Chickadees

Veronica Mahara

Painting birds is new to me, but once I started I fell in love with the process. There are so many helpful youtube tutorials on painting. Two of my favorites for instruction are Mr. Otter’s Workshop and Lindsey Weirich. So fun to follow along with these two talented artist! I’m building confidence in my own art and am able to see a flower or bird or landscape and go for it. Like writing, letting the process take shape on its own really helps. I find if I tense up and want every last detail in a painting to be perfect it stops the flow.

Writing is full of details and rewriting is part of the process, a process I happen to love. Yet, art helps me to free my mind and enter another world. It’s so relaxing!

Creativity is a beautiful thing!

I am an independent author in women's historical fiction w/romance genre. Though anyone can read my books, my main characters are women who wish to break out of the confines of their era. I was born in Massachusetts and left home to travel to the Pacific Northwest when I was seventeen. I've called this beautiful part of the country home sweet home for over 48 years. My first novel ~Traveled Hearts~ started me on the writing journey I've been on for over thirteen years. Sacred Terrain and Unending Trails followed and I am into the fourth book-a stand alone historical fiction. Though this is my chosen genre who knows what lies ahead.. sci- fi? Mysteries? Stay tuned and happy reading!
