place
Day 2? Day 3 in Bath, Maine? I drove over from Squam Lake a few days ago. It’s a 2 and an half hour drive, guaranteed to be at least that long because it’s 2 lane and, well, why hurry along a scenic New England road? Especially if you are driving a delivery truck. With […]
joy
Joy. Waiting to be filled. Right? Don’t you put joy at like the TOP of the feellings spectrum? Wishing you a joyful holiday. Wishing you a life full of joy. Yes. In my understanding of joy, there is ease. There is contentment. And there is serendipity. That sense of: this is the life I want […]
more than one
Look at the color of the leaves on that tree. Yellow, right? That’s what the camera is showing us. Yes. But this time, instead of using your camera, you walk up to the tree. You look at the leaves. You see that the sun is highlighting the yellow. But there is a lime green, a […]
deep down
Peaches. On the beach. You know she has company because – well, all those give-away footprints in the sand. Althought footprints can last awhile, even in sand, you know we are there with her. With Peaches. And that feeling of “with” comes with my art making as well. I sit down to create and I […]
who you are
Yesterday I was talking to a dear friend about my busy busy life this summer and she said to me:”You’ve forgotten who you are.” It kind of hit me like a bolt of lightening. Unexpected and right to the core. It was so true that it shifted everything instantly. I had “forgotten” I was an […]
my language
It’s summer. It’s time to forget, daydream, act on a whim. But blog? Hmmmm. It’s been awhile. But yes, midst my forgetting, my daydreaming, my acting on whims… I have been playing. Playing with color and layers and shapes and… Yeah. Playing with my art stuff. And while I’ve been moving this here and attaching […]
is/isn’t
Water reflects. Until it doesn’t. The weather was way too hot. Now it isn’t. We are. And then we aren’t. Yeah, it seems that way. It seems like everything is either/or. But then – even those darn water ripples are kind of reflecting, doesn’t it seem? And the weather – was it way too hot? […]
the heat
Summer is getting warmer and warmer. I love it. I love the heat. Today was the first day in so long that NO ONE was around. Just me. Me and my art. Me and my horses. Showing the heat that is happening. As they slowly take shape. When I was growing up, I rode every […]
rest
Right now, it’s pouring cats and dogs. And windy. But last night: the lake was the picture of peace. Just what I needed to greet me after a long day. I had closed up the house in Bath, Maine, where I spent the winter and was still visiting until now. I then drove here (with […]
her/its own reality
Is this my Aunt Hunter holding me now? asks Cecilia. And will I look over to see Aunt Lynn in a moment? Is this the life I’m creating for myself? Little Cecilia, growing by the day, came into this world with no means to support herself. Unable to do anything. Or so it seemed. Rather, […]
