I enjoy twitter and from it over the last six months, I’ve collected the inspirational art quotes below. I’m sharing the list now as it is beginning to get cumbersomely long; now I’ll start gathering afresh. Thanks to ArtbyScott2010 who I do not know but who contributed many of these! And to find me on … Read more
I was inspired to invite my husband on an unusual walk today, where we both agreed in advance that we would not say one word for the entire walk. We are of a marriage of many words, maybe too many, given how wonderful this wordless walk was! Friends of mine with taciturn husbands often marvel … Read more
On the drive to and from the wedding we listened to this classic book by Mark Twain, which I had never read. I really enjoyed it and found it uproariously funny. I was glad I was listening to it rather than reading it since the accents are so much more fun and easy to deal … Read more
My nephew Allen has been dating Heidi for six years. They met at the very beginning of her freshman year when he was an upperclassman; they were both trumpet players in their college’s marching band. Years ago we thought they’d be getting married and today was the day. It was an incredibly joyous but slightly … Read more
We drove the 11 hours down to Chapel Hill to attend my nephew’s wedding. After having lunch with my parents, who I hadn’t seen in a long time, we picked up my college freshman daughter from the airport and checked into our hotel. Then we changed for the wedding rehearsal, which was followed by an … Read more
Yesterday I posted on this blog Part 1 of my fall foliage series (see here), which I continue today. Enjoy…
Since a child I’ve loved a deep blue October sky fringed in fall leaves. I like everything about it, the smell, the crunch and swish underfoot, and the crisp air. I am grateful every year that I get to live in a place where this beauty unfolds before me. What a joy to move through … Read more
Here are my two new bowls that I made in pottery class. I’m particularly pleased with the glaze on the green one. Enjoy the close-up photos below…

We’ve had a lot of wind and rain around here lately. I’ve often seen chestnuts on the ground in the fall, but never in still in their pods.I found them fascinating. I love the textures; the contrast between the silky smooth nut inside and the prickly protective exterior is amazing. Enjoy these photos below.
I am a regular writer for the Danbury News Times Forum on Faith Series. Here is today’s column on preventing Swine Flu: God’s Complete Control Can Cancel Disease People often think of Christian Scientists as “those people that don’t go to doctors.” This is misleading. We are simply people that go to God first when … Read more
I painted this today. The horizontal orientation is how I painted it, but after the fact, I thought it could go vertical as well (see below). It is bigger than usual for me, painted in acrylic on a stretched canvas 24” x 36”. It is also a little more angular than my usual more fluid … Read more
I bought this video at a summer library sale because I remember it being acclaimed at the time (it was the Sundance Film Festival winner of 1996) and I knew is was about a female inmate trying to find her way back into the world after a prison stint. This topic was pertinent to us … Read more
I took these photos yesterday as I dropped my daughter off at New Pond Farm. An interesting mixture of sun and clouds, the weather was fascinating. The bottom shot is a beauty! Enjoy…
