I Want to Go A-Walking
I Want to Go A-Walking I want to go a-walking all the live-long day To hear the crickets chirping and see the bales of hay. To wrest the beauty hiding in weeds along the way To find my heartbeat’s rhythm I lost in the busy fray. To breathe the fresh air heaping transforming work into … Continue reading I Want to Go A-Walking
Weekend Drawcumentation
I had a very full but wonderful weekend! When it looks like there may be little time to breathe between the coming and going, my desire to draw kicks in full throttle. Maybe it's something to do with a need to slow down somewhere in the midst of it, or to have a touchstone to … Continue reading Weekend Drawcumentation
A Bale of Words
Available in My Etsy Shoppe Another "sitting" out in my favorite field just after the baling. This time with my pastels in My Little Black Book.

A Few of My Favorite Things…

A few of weeks ago I got to spend an afternoon painting a couple of views of the freshly baled hay in Mr. Whicker's field. I keep calling it "my" field, and it really isn't. But I call … Continue reading A Few of My Favorite Things…

I had brought along my sketchbook and oil pastels. "Must see what I can do with that" ran through … Continue reading Unlikely Lovely
A Walk to the Park
Sunday afternoons are great for slow walks. Maddie and I went out and about in our neighborhood this past Sunday. The weather was gorgeous! A light breeze kept us cool. We gathered "treasures" along the way: a colorful leaf, and some long-stemmed fuzzy weeds that work great as things to shoot (did you do this … Continue reading A Walk to the Park
It’s not the flowers themselves…
I have an online friend and fellow artist who lives in New Zealand and paints and illustrates beautifully in watercolor. Hanneke recently posted some paintings of flowers and titled her post, "Practicing Flowers". One of the things I enjoy about being a fellow WordPress blogger, is that we can chat back and forth with ease, … Continue reading It’s not the flowers themselves…
Multi-Colored Pens!
I recently went through a phase. Ha! One of many I tend to move in and out of. It keeps things fresh. It keeps me on my toes. Different ways to view and then capture a place or a person. All of my Flexi-Sketch drawings are done with multi-colored pens and Neocolor II crayons added … Continue reading Multi-Colored Pens!
The Fountain. The Fountain. The Fountain…

The Fountain sits in the middle of the courtyard, so you can sit in any spot around it and have a … Continue reading The Fountain. The Fountain. The Fountain…
