Happy New Year to All! The third and final thing I'm keeping in the forefront of my mind for this new year is perhaps the main bit underlying and undergirding the previous two. **How will I determine what to major in, focus on, emphasize? Delight! **How will I follow through on the less than glamorous … Continue reading 2015 :: Delight!

Follow Through
Close on the heels of Majoring In One Thing At A Time, is the need to follow through with what you've determined to major on for that day, or series of days. I am the queen of creative ADD, an expert "waffler", starting one thing and then switching to another mid-stream. Once the excitement of … Continue reading Follow Through
Major On One Thing At A Time
I often learn about living life from the process of drawing. That sentence sounds a bit odd. But it never ceases to amaze me how the act of drawing informs life, just as living informs drawing. For those who have followed me here for some time, this is not news to you. Here and here … Continue reading Major On One Thing At A Time

The Violence to Healing
Won't you pop over to my other blog Drawn2Life? I really should have posted it here on this blog since it's a knitterly post! But I tend to put my writerly thoughts over there...hmmm...I think that may need to change!:)

As a companion to a recent post on my … Continue reading Draw Together!

December!
I can't believe it's December! Can you? We decorated our home yesterday, putting up the Frasier Fir and my little white studio tree. I love hanging favorite ornaments from years gone by. The above drawing was made a couple of years ago when I got this lovely sparkly bird that clips onto a branch. I … Continue reading December!
The Measure of a Life
The true measure of an artist's life is NOT *in how many drawings one makes *nor in how "good" they are *nor how much money they fetch... ...but rather in a stouthearted search for beauty in everything: *in the little as well as the big *in the mundane and the magical *in calm as well … Continue reading The Measure of a Life
Counting Gifts
On my walk, jewels mark my path as if Royalty had just passed by. Gold, ruby, emerald in every shade...pooled under trees, scattered across the sidewalk, huddled in patches along the street. Hovering gray skies served only to heighten their jeweled glow. I genuflect to pick them up, one by one. Each a different shape. … Continue reading Counting Gifts
