Art Prescription: A bird watching hike to Tobacco Road Trail. The trail head is near Jordan Lake wetlands. Lots to see there…and in my own backyard. Sketchbook…pen and ink.

New Card Collection May 16, 2014
Packaging new cards
Mourning dove lands, beak full straw
Nest, out my window.
Art Prescription: A great example of why I love working from home! Hot off presses, my newest note card collection, Blue Skies of Mapleview Collection, a set of art cards featuring horses. While packaging in my warehouse (dining room table), I noticed a pair of morning doves building a nest. Back and forth they went while I folded, counted, and packaged cards. I picked up my binoculars to check them out a little closer. How lovely.

Ode to real girlfriends
True, honest fashion advice
Hold hand, jump with you!!
Art Prescription: I leave soon to New York for Surtex! EEkk!.. Oddly I’m pretty calm. But that’s thanks to my very good friend who has walked me through this week on many levels. Long walks in our neighborhood, helped me load my new (wink) Ipad with my portfolio, and finally sat while I tried on multiples of outfits to determine which ones are right for the show. Deep and great bows to you my friend!! You know who you are. Wine and report of show in our near future!!
Haiku May 14, 2013 Surtex
Countdown to Surtex
So I dig, plant annuals
Get myself grounded.
Art Prescription: I leave in a couple of days for Surtex in New York. I’m both excited and nervous. I’ve done this show a few times, but every year it all feels new. Along with Surtex is the National Stationery Show, the Contemporary Furniture Show, and this year an arts and crafts section which I’m thrilled to see. I do love home though, so today I worked a bit planting my garden so I have peace to come back to!

This is the way I feel looking at a meadow of wildflowers and not being able to draw each and every one!!
