I can't believe its the Holidays again. We have our heads down focused on the present.

 Thanksgiving came and went...a tradition of elaborate cooking and baking, feasting and sharing

 Eventhough we are experiencing a dry snow-less holiday, it is cold, and i drink ALOT of Earl Grey tea
Morgan and I made our traditional spritz cookies gluten-free...a friend told me they tasted like sand.

Meet the newest addition to my prized collection of kid created creatures...Mr. Turkey by Morgan

"dad! you have pie in your hair! "....

now that's a sign of a good time :)

Working on 10 LORDS A LEAPING for a month long show in Telluride as well as a delivery of new

art for Over the Moon  where I am the feature artist! 

2 more art/craft fairs this week 

Then, all this orange and yellow will give way to pine and  sparkle.

Little Red Riding Hood - Drawing Challenge

I finally did it, joined in on the Drawing Challenge, albeit a few days late.
This weeks theme: Littel Red Riding Hood hosted by Patrice.

I've been scribbling about this for years....

inspired by my own childhood classics

And into my grown up life living at the edge of a great wood...In my fairy tale, the beast is a misunderstood friend and it is he who is terrified of the girl!

someday i will write and illustrate it.

what is your take on this tale?

Beauty and the Beast
A Woodland Tale 
Classic Tales of my childhood.

where for art thou?

dear people,

I have been silent

inside

working

sometimes 

it just doesn't feel right

to come up

and share

Berta

its just the nature

of diving deep down

to see what i can see

                                                                               

its cold at the Art Farm

winter's beckoning 

to turn inward

clothe the seeds

safe and warm...

.....and wait for the magnificent birth


i hold you all close in my heart,

Progress...

holy moly, how time flies. its snowed lastnight and made me realize just exactly how much time had passed since I last posted!  illness, busy-ness and a crappy computer are all to blame.  as the holidays approach, craftiness trumps studio art. life goes on, middle boy goes to first dance and first born gets
accepted and offered $ to go to University. mama needs to make alot of crafts!!!

im working on a large commission that's too shy to show just yet.

life is nothing but full

wishing you all warm autumn love,

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.

Goodbye Duke

Duke the wonder horse is on his way to greener pastures today. 
He was the gentle grand- dad of the herd.  Picked on a bit, off alone alot.
He was the one we'd pile babies on, ride double, bareback, backwards, stand on him
and hug for long spells muzzle to forehead.
Duke had freckles and a kind loving heart.
WE will miss you Duke.
ALOT.

With great love,
your human family,
Tate, Stephanie Rosie, Roscoe and Morgan.

Drawing Challenge : Fairy Tale

"our lady of the honey bees"

"our lady of the forest"

"our lady of the quiet"

"our lady of the bluebird's song"

life is a fairy tale.
the signs are everywhere.
little surprises hidden and revealed
in grass
in sky
in the friends clad in fur, wool and feather

remember this little tale?

tales abound at Tatjana's !
