Started off the morning by zipping to Ten Sleep School. I honestly don’t visit there much, my interest has waned since my kids all graduated… and the biggest visit may be to haul some books over for a teacher or student. Today, though, they had an inspirational speaker who piqued my interest, and since I…
Friend’s Gift
With the cold and the snow (6′ in Buffalo, NY, really???) my mind thinks of wool… Here’s my first wool BOWL! I cut a resist from some soft plastic (floor underlayment) about 5″ across. I began to layer wool roving under and over it, each time changing the direction of the roving, and pulling the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Wild Commute”
Elk and antelope add to the scenery of my commute this morning.
I Wish
I Wish I had painted this, but it’s an app. I plan on learning from it though…
Chicken in the Cold
After the frigid cold we’ve been having, a day where it gets up into the teens and twenties feels pretty dog gone good! You’re ready to get out of the house and go for a walk… maybe a short one, but a walk all the same. Since the cold hit, Truce, the black cat, has…
Long Way to Go
I love the look of watercolors… but need to be freer in my application of pigment! I tend to overwork, overthink, and overdetail a lot of my paintings… so I TRIED… and practiced… and, Yeah, still have a long way to go before I qualify as a watercolor artist!
Unroll and Enjoy!

Brad and Dan
You guys are simply a blessing, you know that, right? Writing what I figured would be the most controversial blog post I’ve ever written, I just knew I’d lose readers/fans/lurkers. Maybe I have, but at least they were kind about it and simply slipped away! Thanks for sharing your own stories of heartbreak and hard…
Hard Stuff
Honestly… I really really really contemplated not writing this post. People told me not to. People told me to lie. People told me to just let it go, that you would forget, and I’d be safe. I thought about all the options. But, I’ve tried to be honest on here… and an outright lie just…
How Exciting!
First it rained, then it snowed… but only a measly 3″… so… it’s not so bad! It was 14˚ this morning though. Pretty brisk. There’s nothing like a grey, cold day with company coming to get some work done around the house. I admit it. My mother would be disappointed in me… I live in…
