Some floral arrangements are bold and dramatic looking, like the one my husband gave me for our anniversary. Others are softer looking, lighter in their values of color. This one was given to me by a dear friend and her family from Harrisonburg, VA. I wanted to capture that light and airy feel of the … Continue reading A Light Touch

Cheer In A Vase
I love flowers. Have I told you that? I often feel like Monet who said, " I perhaps owe becoming a painter to flowers." Yes, indeed. So many ways to depict them, so many mediums to choose from for the color, joy, and shapes of flowers. In my previous post, I shared the LINE version … Continue reading Cheer In A Vase
Thrive
A dear, longtime friend of mine came to visit with me this week. We are both going through a rough patch it seems, though our situations are very different from one another. She told me a story of how she's been going on walks in her neighborhood where there's a swath of overgrown weeds along … Continue reading Thrive

Operation Sock Drawer
(Above drawing made at Eclection last Friday. An impromptu "still-life" complete with socks knitted up to the toe. Finished them up later that day.:) Another "under the radar" knitting project, is sock knitting. This flies so far under the radar during busy times that I hardly even know I'm advancing at all. Talk about … Continue reading Operation Sock Drawer
Knitting Under the Radar
During the entire Art Show preparation time, from beginning of January to last week, I have been knitting. A lot. It always surprises me, every year, when busy full times hit, that I keep on knitting unaware of how the few rows here, some stitches there are adding up. I'll be sharing just a few … Continue reading Knitting Under the Radar
A Restless Soul
Every so often (more often than I'd like) I feel rumblings under my feet. It happens whenever there is a change, either in weather, seasons, or schedule--as in work or holidays. They seem to affect me creatively, as if seismic shifts are occurring internally and I don't yet know how these shifts will manifest themselves … Continue reading A Restless Soul
Nurture Your Creative Spark
So. After writing the last post about my papier mache birds with shawls, I had an image in my head to work out on paper. It started with writing that bit about having a tendency to make lots of smaller projects when life goes on full tilt. I looked back at last year around this … Continue reading Nurture Your Creative Spark
