Today we take our oldest child to college. A small truck and a van are packed full of her things. And I'm wondering if it will all fit into her dorm room at Wingate! A host of emotions have been flurrying around our house and in my heart lately. But this morning, I'm thankful. Thankful … Continue reading A Big Day!

Once Again…?
Could you pop next door once again? Or...as Stew Crother might say in a lovely English accent, "Will you nip in next door?" Or, as folks might say from my Southern region in the USA, "Y'all come on over now, ya hear?" Anyway, Genevieve would love it if you could visit her today! Merci!
Pssstt…
...(whispering) i don't know if you've seen or not, but there's a new gallery over in the right-hand margin of my blog. It's called Fine Art America. I'm giving this a try as a way to offer prints, cards, and even canvas prints of my artwork. I'd really love to know what you think! ...(whispering … Continue reading Pssstt…
My Momma’s Birds
In my momma's house, there are many birds. Not live ones, but all kinds of ceramic, papier mache, feathered, carved, and painted birds adorning table tops, the dining room table, and various other spots. I think mom has only purchased one or two of them, the rest have been given to her. I don't know … Continue reading My Momma’s Birds
Responding to Rutenberg: Drawing vs. Painting
ID #110 "Moments" Brian Rutenberg, in his Studio Visit #18 , quotes a German artist, Walter Sickert, who said, "Drawing is about captivity. Painting is about freedom." This one little quote has stuck with me and caused all kinds of back & forth in my brain as I consider what's being said here. I don't … Continue reading Responding to Rutenberg: Drawing vs. Painting
What I Have to Give
When the basket passes by, I often wish I could give something other than money. Not that I always have that to give. We've been taught that, MORE than our money, God wants our Hearts. So I often imagine my own little self inside that basket, being whisked away for use in His Kingdom. I … Continue reading What I Have to Give
Searching & Finding
Day 1 at the beach: In less than half an hour of being out on the shore, I chance to look down and see a sea stone...beautifully rounded and smoothed by sand and water. This sets me on a course to find and collect more sea stones and sea glass thru the week.Day 2: Bent … Continue reading Searching & Finding

Responding to Rutenberg: Limitations
ID#102 In Brian Rutenberg's Studio Visit #16, he begins the talk recounting some casual banter between friends over dinner one evening. The subject was "limitations", which he says "Every artist has" and that he is continually inventorying his. I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard him say this, wondering what, if any, … Continue reading Responding to Rutenberg: Limitations
