Surrounded by Greatness

Every weekend I go bike riding from my house to the local state park (Ft. Clinch).  I travel through the park under a canopy of oaks all the way to the beach, then continue my journey with a mile walk on the pier.  It is about an hour worth of exercise – round trip.
There are [...]

Back to School

In the past two weeks I have had a few dreams dealing with, taking tests, missing school supplies, coloring outside the lines, and moving into a dorm room as an adult.  I wonder what on earth has been stirring up all these “back to school” dreams.  I don’t think I am stressed or under any [...]

It’s not the resession, you just suck!

This is an awesome article.  It reaffirms what I have been saying that mediocrity will no longer cut it in today’s society.  People make excuses for everything be cause it is easier than taking responsibility for their actions.  So get off  your butt my friend, get off Facebook, quit Twittering, and reading mindless blogs like [...]

Studio

I never did follow up on my impression or critique of the studio tour a few weeks ago in Jacksonville.  Partly due to the fact that is was a two day event and unfortunately I was not able to back the following day to see the rest of the artists, rendering me with only 50% [...]

Blue + Pink

Normally [...]

Gripe

OK there is no surprise that I cannot spell. And the fact that I have had a computer and had spell check governing my every move since 1988 /1989 of course I will never get any better (a yucky crutch).  I can’t remember if I learned to read phonetically and that is why I can’t [...]

Any takers?

I need to barter art for lasik eye surgery, botox, and a Vespa.
How about a gardner, a deep tissue massage, or dog walker?

A nice surprise

I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me in my studio when I got to work today.
I may have told you a few months ago I helped out my friend and fellow artist, Wyanne,  with a series of art technique videos/classes – well Karen Hardie is/was one of her students who was very inspired by [...]

Something to ponder

Most people have their own reality…..and it is usually not yours!

A nice gesture

I had an artist/friend/acquaintance come in my studio yesterday and tell me how wonderful I am, how inspiring I am. How I just don’t let anything get in the way – am unstoppable, and she admires that in me.  My heart skipped a beat. I wondered how she drew theses conclusions about me. I rarely [...]
