Creativity Management
This morning we have the beginnings of the first snow of the season. While it will not last long, it is lovely to have so early.
I tried to upload this video however it was not going to happen. Use this link to watch. I highly recommend it!

A Few (More) Words About Slow Art
a study piece
It has been a while since I wrote about Slow Art. You can read that posting here. This subject is never far from my mind and you can find some slow blogs and web sites in the list on the right column of this page. Recently, I have been thinking about the relationship of taking time [...]
Something A Little Different
I have no idea what to call this. I do not know how to present it, really. I have not actually decided it works, so I am sticking my neck out here to share it with you.
As you know I have been working on all kinds of things lately, in and out [...]
Engaging the Muse
I have been working on this one for quite some time, but there is still more to do. The thing is, this one is already spoken for…you just never know about these things as I have had many doubts about this one. I have several large pieces going on right now, I can’t [...]
Drawing Lines

Today I do not have a great deal to share with you. While some of my blog friends were nursing sniffles, going to art shows and going along to high teas (you know who you are), I was painting the walls in my foyer and stairwell. And I can tell you they are [...]
Playing Around…
This is a quick shot…clearly not centered and not well lit…of one of the things I have been doing in my studio. Yes, I even threw some paint on the wall…but I had not painted that room on purpose and will have to prime it anyway (wallpaper).
I seem to do this. When I [...]
So Many Gifts!
Each day I come to this blog wondering what I will talk about. This week not only has mother nature given me some ideas as gifts, but also blog friends have given me gifts of ideas.
In response to my post on Slow Art, Andrea sent me this book which had been introduced to her [...]
Art Review
Recently, Babs has shared on her blog that she did some reorganizing of her studio to try to get back her muse (and this is a woman who once fell off the earth). She found one real treasure as you can see when you visit her, but I suspect she is holding out on [...]
