Eureka! Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with technology? On upbeat days I am awed by all the gifts technology has given me. For example, this blog. Never could I have imagined, decades back, I could write a post, send it into the cloud and have you read it, whether you live in my home… Continue reading Week in Review 2021- 10/15

Life at Warp Speed Do you ever feel you are constantly living your life at warp speed? I certainly do. When I take a moment to breath deeply, forcing myself to slow down, I know the feeling of warp speed is a feeling, not a reality. Still, I am grateful, I get to choose how… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 10/08

In the Beginning… What can I say, the cloud formation, backlit by the setting sun, is how I envisioned heaven as a child. Can’t you just see celestial beings going about their activities floating, flying, and skipping through these clouds? It is such a powerful and yet gentle image simultaneously. I won’t be adding the… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 10/01

… And She’s Off The question is am I launching myself from the starting gate or totally off my rocker? It feels like a combination of the two. After a change of focus in the studio from working on artwork I hope to exhibit, to creating “product” for the upcoming Cohasset Open Studio event, I’m… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 09/24

Working in a Series? Why work in a series? This is a question I’ve asked myself from time to time. Certainly, there are many artists who do. Two impressionist examples are Edgar Degas with his young ballerinas and Claude Monet returning again and again to waterlilies. Two women who spring to mind are Georgia O’Keeffe… Continue reading Week in Review 2021- 09/17

Work Flow What is your work flow? How do you handle the myriad of tasks required to regularly update and post on numerous social media platforms? These were questions I was asked in the final Professional On-line Presence group meeting offered through SAQA. I love being put on the spot, much as it makes me… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 08/20

New Start What is your creative process? Can you even describe your creative process? In my case it is so innate I find it difficult to put into words. I do feel as if I have a muse that sits on my shoulder and whispers, “Just give it a try. It might work.” Prior to… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 08/13

Work/Life Balance Finding a balance between work and life isn’t easy. Frankly, I am not even sure it is possible. What is possible, but also difficult to achieve, is acceptance that the balance shifts, wobbles and sometimes collapses. For me, the balance feels like a see-saw.

Lifetime Learner Each Friday morning I sift through my brain for what topic to focus on in this week’s post.
