Remembering when

The Art Farm is missing me. I painted all day at the school again (blog under construction) and miss the lazy summer feel. Remembering the original dream, the farm, the family, the rogue and beautiful garden where weeds mingle with the intended like a tangled symphony of life , color, food and bugs. I'm getting too busy again...time to slow down and just be with the dream.

Art Mom

I love this entire concept of exploration and adventure in everyday living probably because that is how i tend to live my life!
I am also so curious about the mommy article...artists and mothers, creating and creation. I would love to add a blog about this...not the Martha Stewart perfect crafty childhood but more of a keeping it real platform for artistic moms. Its intense juggling all this creativity...i often feel as though i have a million kids, every little doodle and grandiose idea are all "kids" demanding my attention and yanking at my skirt. It can be quite challenging at times because guess what? The real live human kids always come first...even when the planets are all in line and your most amazing masterpiece yet is beckoning you into the studio. I hate that part.
A bit of advice: A wise woman once told me..."your talent will always be there for your whole life, your babies are only young once and need you, all of you."
Yes indeed...my 3 are my living masterpieces that certainly require all of me!

Where have you been?

i need a big cup of help

Phew...computer probs, erased all files, lost all programs, couldn't email or nuthin for 9 days!

Its now mid July and all i can think about it NOT going on a long road trip.

My tummy is sad and my kids are testing the limits. THink i'll stick around here with the chickens and growing things. Besides, we're bringing home a baby horse soon.

Art on hold...just tinkering with Etsy product ideas and Color Crew murals at the school.

Realizing I am allergic to everything is occupying my every move. I need a manual.

what a boring post.

Happy Independence Day!

My little Rosie
My "baby" Pearl

My beloved red truck

It is the 4th in the USA which means parades, patriotism, pie eating contests and red white and blue coordinating outfits for the family.

Here's what it looks like in my neck of the woods. I have to admit, when the Blue Angels fly through the crack of sky above our little mountain town and everyone cheers and the little old, old veterans with their purple hearts commence the festivities by waving from their homemade float ...i get a little teary. Small town America and old people. I love that stuff.

Have a fine weekend!
