Lines and Paths

"You can have other words-chance, luck coincidence, serendipity.

I"ll take grace. I don't know what it is exactly, but I'll take it." --- Mary Oliver.

lines and paths...wax, paint, tea bags, stripey rocks

Snippets

home again home again...after a long week

sometimes it helps to have a little perspective

as the world rushed by...lots of sadness... but,

plenty of time for hope and happiness...was lucky to have dinner and a little tin thrifting with Jenny

Mr R kept the home fires burning and the Amaryllis blooming

because on the road it's just me..myself and I

as different as black and white

yin and yang...bookends

Citrus Warmth

Seeking warmth in the blood orange

finding JOY in the reflecting light like tiny stained glass windows.

the Global Meal

One moment. One meal. One photograph. Let's eat.

On February 24th at 12pm EST, join thousands of people around the world in a simultaneous global meal. Whether it's breakfast in LA or a midnight snack in Beijing, let's take a moment from our hectic lives and share it with strangers around the world.

Join this world snack...

brought to you by the ArtHouse Co-Op and the Sketchbook Project

The goal:

Feel inspired? Let's take action against world hunger

Our aim with "The Meal" is to inspire a feeling of community across geographic and cultural boundaries, while addressing the statement that "you are what you eat." However, for nearly a billion people around the world, hunger is a constant daily reality and "what you eat" is never enough. In conceiving of this project, our thoughts immediately turned to the chronic problem of global hunger and the amazing organizations that struggle against this persistent crisis. We would love to direct participants in the project to support Action Against Hunger, one of the world's most effective and efficient nonprofit organizations. Take a look at the many ways to get involved today.

Postcards from the Morning

The beauty and grace of early morning reflections...a call from my dad, doing so well,

and Tess comes to join us for breakfast...these are my postcards from paradise.

Shadow Dance

Saw the amazing film of the German dancer/choreographer Pina Bausch...the 3-d cinematography by filmmaker Wim Wenders was mesmerizing as were the voices both in movement and in words of the dancers and Pina's vision.

JOY-FULL

Finding JOY in late afternoon shadows...in sending strength on the wind under the prayer flags

in painting chickens...in these words by Hafiz found on Jeans site

i have been inspired lately by that color, you know,

that winter morning sunrise

somewhere between the flesh of melon

and cassis liqueur?  Hafiz

Brought to You in Living Color

My studio pal...always here...snoring

color spilling from the Mango Studio

into the house...our new 'room', found space.  These old houses are so very lacking in storage space. We are so happy with this new space, my gran niche...lots of storage hidden behind the hutch, a new wall to hang art, a place to stash coats and hats, scarves and gloves.

a question to me by our friend who did the work..."are you sure, tangerine walls and a tomato red floor?"

oh yes, I'm sure
