Peekaboo

Yes, it's me. I'm alive!  Art fairs, farmer's markets, commissions and outdoor wonderland have kept me away from my desk.  All this with a dollop of Crohn's disease. ; /
I have missed all of you.
Here's a peek for now.

an angel came to visit me in my booth at Carbondale Art Fair.

some of my latest Art Blocks - will be available in Etsy after this week.

lots os speckled fawns this year

The Art Farm looking back- my 3 sidekicks, Pearl, Ollie, and Blue (who is red)

The Art Farm looking ahead- this is my front yard with a skipping little 5 year old friend.

Hit and Miss

Friends.. i apologize, for the hit and miss nature of this blog. I feel like i lose valuable connections just from missing a post or two. The blog is like the sun peeking through the clouds every once in a while. And its been cloudy around here!
I hope you do understand! I have so much I'd like to share with everyone. Time and Space - my fickle friends!
Oh, and the computer that continues to amaze and frustrate me with its unnatural loooooong life.

Till soon,

Wings: Drawing Challenge

Wings, angels, fairies and animals. Its all one big magical mystery to me. A recurring theme of wonder,
whimsy and kinship. We are all connected, seen and unseen
and its all good.
Jasmin, in the wonderful land of OZ has collected more. go see.

Homeward Bound





i live in a far away valley at the edge of a great wood out west. i sniffed out this patch of dirt
with my hound dog heart, dug a lil hole and settled in. its home to my roots in spirit not place
where little girls play in simple cotton dresses a long, long time ago. i will always feel the safest
here when little green buds come back to remind me.

where do you feel most at home?

Farm Animal Cards

i look at this sorta stuff and think the usual..."i am so lazy...look at all this talent and cute useful stuff!!! i should do that!" ....but alas, here i am inactive in the product development department.
I do think these little diddies are ingenious and the perfect thing for my kids to say Thank You to the generous supporters who bought their pigs at the 4-H auction this weekend.

At Peace with It

you know that feeling every now and again when you get a break from your life and are given the gift of perspective, perhaps through some old long lost friend or just a moment in the breeze as you look out at your own backyard and see your kids playing with your friend's kids in the halflit dusty evening and think....yea.....it's all so perfect, i'm exactly where i'm supposed to be, i

really and truly am living the dream...well that is what happened this weekend.

The Peace with IT and the knowing that I am living the art I create.
