It seems like there's a lot of resonance with these thoughts on reaching our full potential, blasting through creative blocks, and living an artful life. I love it! Danny Gregory compiled a few of these in a recent blog post, and has been tackling the topic of the "monkey" in our brain that accuses us … Continue reading When Life is Boring…

What Happened?
We painted her room. Purple please she said. She picked out new bedding. We rearranged the furniture. She spent hours setting up her new room. Close your eyes mom she said as she led me into her room. Lovely I said! Beautifully arranged! But... where are all the stuffed animals? Not a single one. Anywhere. … Continue reading What Happened?
Live Up To Your Full Potential
Be warned! This is not gonna be your typical post on this topic. Usually when I read something about living up to your potential, I'm given a list of how to accomplish this, and loads of encouragement to be the very best you can be at something. Well, I'm here to redefine this phrase. Continuing … Continue reading Live Up To Your Full Potential
To Timaree et al
An online artist friend, who has visited my blog for many years and has been a huge encourager, asked a question in one of her recent comments on this beach post. I thought I'd take a bit of time to answer her questions, which may be of interest to others as well. Here is what … Continue reading To Timaree et al
An Artful Life
As each day marches on beyond the health ordeal I've recently gone through, I begin to see some of the shake down or repercussions of it all. It might be described as having experienced a sifting of sorts, and what remains in the sifter is the pure wheat. It's an ongoing process though, and I'm … Continue reading An Artful Life
Before Genevieve…
...there was Genevieve! That's confusing I know. But before I was drawing Genevieve, the name of my dress form was/is Genevieve. And so, I dress Genevieve, as if she was a big doll, with the latest knit or crochet creation. She makes a great model, don't you think? Here are a couple of other drawings … Continue reading Before Genevieve…
Oak Island 2013
I just got back from a lovely week at the beach with my husband's family! We always have a marvelous time of sun, sand, good food, and fellowship! Do you remember the video I made from last year's drawings? I recently realized that it has been removed from YouTube...I have no idea why!! Both of … Continue reading Oak Island 2013
Toeses Are Roses?
As I drew my feet in these sketches made within a few days of each other, I realized that feet really aren't the most attractive part of the human body. At least mine aren't! It reminded me of lines from a song in the movie Singing In the Rain: "Moses supposes his toeses are Roses, But … Continue reading Toeses Are Roses?

Got Scarves?
I love this little drawing I made a few years ago. She's a precursor to Genevieve, with her little red shoes and blue coat. She loves yarn and making scarves. She loves wearing them too!A friend of mine who travels to France a bunch, once told me that French women wear scarves a lot, no … Continue reading Got Scarves?
