  • Maui

    On a little vacation right now!  I'm getting all kinds of creative inspiration though, so I can't wait to get back to my workspace and start creating.  Well, maybe I can wait a bit longer…. ♥

  • Garden of the Gods

    Here we are (me & my friend Meg) at the visitors center of Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.  And the view without us in the middle of it…   Inside the visitors center we found these SO cute felt ornaments… Aren't they sweet?  Before we headed back into Denver, we made one last

  • Range Gallery

    This gorgeous print (titled: Afternoon at El Tapatio) is the only souvenir I brought back from Colorado.  While we were exploring Manitou Springs, we stopped in this great little gallery & met the proprietor, Kathleen McFadden.  I'm always so happy to see a woman earning her living in a creative field!  Her work is really

  • Manitou Springs

    The Peeps!  That's the name of this public art display by Liz Szabo in the cute town of Manitou Springs, Colorado.  Probably since I'm a new chicken-owner I seemed to be spying hens everywhere.  🙂 The whole downtown area was sprinkled with artistic touches.  Loved these store fronts… The basket on this pink bike says,

  • Extended Summer

    I'm back home from Colorado and what a great trip!  We had blue skies every day.  Good food, good company, beautiful scenery.  I couldn't have had a better time.  Such a different landscape from Alaska… Some teensy wildlife from our hike… And some unexpected color as we made our way downtown… More to come as

    So, I had meant to finish my little witch to show you a couple days ago but…I had a great opportunity come up at the last minute for a visit to Denver, Colorado.  So here I am!  This is the house we're staying in.  We've got the whole third floor apartment for $100 bucks a

  • Chit-Chat at the Golden West

    Last night I was lucky enough to get together with Jane & her husband Thomas.  It was so good to see Jane again after our Art Nest experience!  They took me to the Golden West Cafe {above} in the Hampden area of Baltimore.  Wonderful food – I had a burger topped with Granny Smith apple

  • St. Patty’s in Charm City

    We went out and explored the surrounding neighborhoods on foot this evening.  So fun!  I loved all the little rows of brick houses & we found this festive display {above} in someone's window.  If I knew how to upload a video, I'd show you the bagpipe serenade we were treated to during dinner at the

  • Baltimore Fungi

    Who knows why, in Baltimore – a big, brick, city {compared to home anyway…} I would be inspired to paint a mushroom!  But there it is.  I had great, messy fun with this one.  Here's what it looked like after all the paper was down, but pre-paint: I'm really glad I decided to tote my

  • Airport

    Art Nest wrapped up on a Sunday morning and people had flights to catch right away, or were hitting the road to drive home.  My flight didn't leave Utah until 9 p.m., which gave me a whole day to hang out at the airport.  I could have rented a car, seen the sights…but honestly, the
