It’s raining, it’s pouring and the result is I haven’t been witnessing many sunrises at Minot Beach recently. Rather than walking in the often heavy rain and high winds I have opted to exercise inside. It also gives me time to focus on creating art. I’m up to completing and sharing 62 daily drawings on… Continue reading Week in Review 2020 – 04/03

Week in Review 2020 – 01/24
Unity – NOT! Typically, I am all about unity. I like to focus in on a project and complete it before starting the next. I don’t like flitting from one project to the next. However, this week feels disjointed. It is as though I am a hummingbird darting from one flower garden to another, barely… Continue reading Week in Review 2020 – 01/24

It feels like a miracle. This past week between my photographer (husband) and myself, we managed to capture nearly every phase of my progress on my current WIP (Work in Progress) “Hydrangea”. This post will be more image and caption versus philosophy. I have just one personal observation to make. There is no right or… Continue reading Week in Review 2019 – 04/04

Week 2019 – 03/15 One of the advantages to working on a smaller scale, as I have chosen to do for my MAP (Monthly Art Project) is how quickly a piece comes together. Today’s post examines how “But Can She Type?” evolved. I am linking up with Nina Marie’s Off the Wall Fridays.
