Art in the Park Outdoor Art Festival

I had the most amazing time at Art in the Park in Redlands over the week-end! Not only did I have good sales, I had a chance to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones. The guy at the booth next to mine was incredible. He and his sons make...

Yesterday’s May Flower

Yesterday, I spent part of the day on Olvera Street taking pictures. I took tons of pictures — I’ll share more of my pictures after I go through them all, but I wanted to share my flower picture (for yesterday!) before too much more of the day go away from me. I don’t know what...

May Flower Challenge

I took a photography composition class this afternoon in Los Angeles. After the lecture, we took a few minutes to take some pictures for the instructor to review. He didn’t love this picture as it was taken, but I cropped it to show the flowers better. I took this at his doorstep. Even though I...

May Flower Challenge!

My fellow Fly-Triber, Lori Moon, is hosting the May Flower Challenge over on her blog. It’s a simple challenge — just create a flower a day! You can use your camera, paints, papers, pens or pencils. It doesn’t matter how simple or elaborate the flower is, either. Even though I am primarily a mixed m

We’ve Moved!

I have just had the craziest six weeks I’ve had in a very long time! We started looking for a rental closer to Hubby’s work, found something, applied, got approved, packed and moved into our new home! Since John is was not home during the week, most of the organizational work — and physical labor...

Love of Art

I know that to some people “art” automatically means the visual arts, maybe even the performing arts. And I confess, that’s the first thing that comes to my mind. But if I give my mind just one more minute, the definition of “art” expands to encompass a wide variety of creative endeavors — gardening

Wanted: Visioning/Accountability Partner!

(Picture provided by the Project on Government Oversight, under a Creative Commons License.) Let me be frank: I suck at follow-through. I can make schedules and commitments to myself to get/stay on top of things. I’m really good at planning and list making. And I do really well at it. For awhile. U

I Heart Books!

I absolutely love books. Especially art books, with their colorful illustrations and pages of inspiration. And, I’m a bit of a collector. Put the two together and you can imagine what that means to my house! Some of these books were Christmas gifts; others are the fruit of Amazon’s pre-order and Gol

My Pretty!

A few days ago, I was visiting the blog of fellow Fly Triber, the talented Kelly Lahl, and I saw one of the most beautiful pieces of fabric I’ve ever seen — a hand-dyed lavender and tangerine silk scarf with doodling on it. I immediately fell in love and decided that I had to have it! I bought...
