in between conference calls...did a bit of work in the garden
iris we transplanted are blooming
cut a few lilacs that are sweetly scenting the studio
a little time to play in the journal...stamps and little water color people
grateful for the delicate smell of these lilacs!
grateful for some long conference calls where I can sit and listen and draw
sending good luck vibes to Greg and the girls in Pueblo at state tomorrow
my sweet Tess
I am so proud of you...and grateful for you, your kindness, your peace keeping abilities...your beauty and your daddy's sense of humor,
grateful to be your steffi
thank you for these spring blooms that brought sunshine on dreary day
home for the weekend...putting together milkweed seed packets for the opening of SEED:Dispersal
artist reception Friday, June 17 at the Dairy ARTS Center
there are more than 70 varieties of milkweed seed
'reciprocity' my taking huge inspiration from the story of the Monarch butterfly and giving back in both my art and understanding and milkweed seeds for you to take and plant and spread
the cabinet of curiosity holding my specimens
grateful to be home, a gentle rain and window rattling thunder, short lived
grateful to return home to the air full of lilac
grateful for the coming weekend of time spent with mothers and daughters
Happy May Day! crazy studio tour...snow off and on, COLD...and...records crowds! So happy that so many old and new faces wandered through the doors today.
grateful for a wonderful yoga practice, grateful for many visitors interested in my crazy colorful world
let's see what tomorrow brings
studio is clean and organized...ready for the weekend
we're watching the skies, the weather...we'll have a warm welcoming place for you here, even if it's cold, rainy or snowy
come by the studio, warm and bright and colorful in here
grateful for a wonderful evening, front range film festival...one of the artists staying with us...
lovely dinner of laughing and stories
embracing my inner old lady...fabulous 1930's aluminium cats eye glasses and drawing that older face in the journal
pretty funky...I think I like them
grateful for a good nights sleep
grateful that Tess and Pete had a wonderful time in NOLA but sending them virtual hugs for the hard times and decisions they face with his dad who is on life support
had to pause to catch my breath...missed a couple of posts
painted with the girls tonight, it's been a while...so sweet to sit, sip, paint and chat
a quiet morning before heading off to yoga, coffee, newspaper and watching the tulips dance
Some prep work in the garden...this is our 5th year in this space, we've been carefully building the soil and loving this plot. Sad news that they may turn this into a parking lot! We are plotting ways to save it...explaining the amount of food we have donated over the years, the community benefit
grateful for this beautiful garden space and hope we can be successful in keeping a part of it
grateful for my sweet friends and our shared time
grateful for this weekend and that I don't travel next week
a fun day in the studio...the 14" of snow did not materialize, at least not yet
made a piece for a good friend who has a big birthday, is retiring and yes...loves to fish (she won't look here so it will be a surprise)
grateful for a low energy day that began with a yoga class, developed into a slow cleaning of the house
and grateful too for Krista Tippett joining me in the studio
Specimens...capturing the relationship between milkweed and the Monarch
Imprint: come to recognize (another animal, person, or thing) as a parent or other object of habitual trust
the Monarch caterpillar is completely dependent upon the milkweed plant as its sole food source
Specimens....for SEED:Dispersal at the Dairy ARTS Center in Boulder this June
grateful for the abundance of visibility of this issue in the world
on another subject...grateful for many buckets to shelter tall and exposed blooms from the possible 14" of snow predicted
end of a very long week, spring weather holding on
the EBCA studio tour preview show this evening, lots of people through
grateful for a warm sunny day that went right into the evening
grateful...that it is Friday
the girls will be SO grateful when Greg comes home, they can't quite believe it's only just me
Here I am.
