• New England Garden: Dahlia Day and Fairy Forest

  

  It was Dahlia Day at the garden my husband Dan and I went to for the day. This New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill is in North Western MA. It is nice too that libraries around MA offer passes that discount the admission price greatly, and one pass covers two people for the day. […]

• Nature Plays The Same Notes

  

  After I completed my painting the previous night, this afternoon, Friday, I went out for a celebratory walk in the bright sun. I found nature playing the same notes, blossoming with the colors that inspired my latest painting from imagination: Fresh Strawberries and a Flower Bouquet by the Window. In my art, the mood felt […]

• A New Pocket Sketch: ‘Fluffy Flowers’

  

  I went back this morning to find the fluffy white flower but it wasn’t there; I’d remembered the spot had red and green wild berries and tiny purple flowers (I know not to eat them ;). I sketched most of this sitting on the grass, a spread out towel I brought beneath me, and I […]

• Pocket Sketches from the Field

  

  I packed a small bag and sketched in my pocket sketchbook at La Salette shrine and retreat center yesterday evening. I learned about sketching, everything is practice, find shade first in the field for comfort if hot, pick something and don’t worry about variety for sharing with others after, sketch what you’d like at the […]

• About The Flower

  I was happy to find the fluffy flower; I was also a little sad because the wind kept blowing its feathers and it was a very shady spot with little light and more than enough heat and humidity. I may go back to the spot today. I worked on my painting in progress and will […]

• “Hold Me Closer” Britney Spears and Elton John’s New Song, Thrilled About Books in the Night, and My Mom Comes to Visit!

  Aug. 31, 2022 First, I am very pleased with the air at my apartment home as last week I professionally deep cleansed the fireplace we don’t use (and is off)…a real professional will come in time (inclusive), but it is wonderful what a difference it makes. It feels like a whole new landscape or planet […]

• Good Morning! : Miss May’s Flower Art

  

  I completed this flower art today I’d made for author and poet, Miss May Ziadeh. I’d collected flowers over the seasons, a couple fallen onto my path outside, and pressed them in a book for her… and then I’d made her a celebration memorium at my home where I’d read Miss May (as she was […]

• With My Hands: Flowers Found, Pressed, and Preserved, and A Little Ink Design from My Pen

  

  Update: See it complete (Aug. 19th ‘22.) That is my reflection appearing in glass and this art is now up to date, just complete Jun, 2022, photo today. Little changes made by clarifying the text in black ink, clear glue, background white, card pasted onto it with the little gathered pressed flowers, this way to […]
