Happy Vernal Equinox...I think

Looking out over breakfast on the big day of Spring Equinox... here's what I found. It's beautiful but not what I was hoping for :( I want sun in my eyes and the picnic table dusted off with umbrella open. Oh well. There's always tomorrow!

Anne Lamott is in town tonight and I'm going to try, try , try to go listen to her speak. LOVE her work. Hope your first day of spring is green and sunny!

Lazy Susan's Cafe

Another India Ink drawing on Reeves BFK paper (I heart that stuff... and Arches Cover paper even more!) Naturally, it is unfinished but close. Just a few more details. Memories of a sunny walk through town after day on the beach. I can't believe school is starting September 1st. Where did the summer go?? I'm secretly looking forward to autumn but dreading winter.

Leaves are Falling...

Here's a post script to last week's Autumn Walk. In only a week's time the leaves have really fallen - it's unusual for our town. By now, the fall clean-up is done with just a little more to rake in November. These were taken this afternoon on a 'stroller ride' with my little girl...just trying to walk off that Halloween candy!

Arm of the Starfish

I know, I know... they call them 'Sea stars' now but I can't seem to make the change. These starfish had little nubs that looked like electric lights - especially the purple one on the right. These colors so so gorgeous, it's amazing how nature creates these combinations! Hmmm, I feel some inspiration coming on...

Little Trees

Tree Specimens

I spent most of the day yesterday making several needle felted pieces. I love geometric and organic shapes and repetition... here's an example! I know it's a bit early, but I'm already thinking about fall and all the colors. I want to make more in that palette... it's my favorite season.
