photo Friday-converging lines

Taking a new look While walking in New York City recently, I realized the dichotomy of the dirt and filth of the streets, buildings, bridges, and sidewalks against the beauty of the city when taken as bigger chunks. This is a photo I shot while walking...

photo friday–a flash of color

I’m feeling super saturated today! I can feel spring right around the corner. I can buy three bunches of brilliant daffodils at the supermarket for just $6. And I am looking forward to wearing my fun green-feathered fascinator on St. Paddy’s day. No,...

photo friday–blocked

Being blocked when you’re wanting to be creative is a real downer. It’s like your pencils and pens are ignoring your passionate pleas. How do you get through it? One of my favorite ways is by accepting a challenge. Just agreeing to accept a challenge...

photo friday–film noir

Groundhog’s day is just around the corner (like tomorrow!), but I have no photos of groundhogs in my stash. What’s a girl to do? Improvise! I am NOT a big fan of the movie “Groundhog’s Day”. I find it frustrating. But I can see why the premise is appealing...

Photo Friday–Slushy

Bleck! Slushy, cold, icy piles of snow. It’s inevitable this time of year—unless you’re in warmer climates, of course. The thought of the chill of the icy sludge seeping down the insides of the boots is enough to make me want to hustle to a warm fireside...

Photo friday–a fungus among us

Check out this little fungi! This image was captured at a county fair in the fungus collection. I got lots of other photos of mushrooms of all different shapes and sizes but this ‘thing’ really intrigued me. It was about one foot around and I really wanted...

photo friday–leafy green

You make me feel like sketchin’, gonna sketch the night away. You make me feel like sketchin’. I feel like sketchin’—ooh, sketchin’—ooh. Sketch the night away . . . Goodness! My apologies. I got a little carried away there. I’m not sure what this cabbage...

Photo Friday–poster fragments

How do you start on a canvas? Do you work from white or do you like to cover the background with black gesso or bright bits of color? Do you like to collage images on the background first? Getting started can be so difficult. Especially if you like working...

I really love birch trees. I love them in person, I love them in photos, I love paintings of them, like this one titled “Yield” painted by Staci Swider. (By the way, this painting is available in our Artists Give Back Etsy Store here !) The other day...

photo friday–so long summer

Egads, where did summer go? Seriously, it was just here a minute ago. Now I’m packing backpacks and searching for lunch money. There was a time in my life that didn’t revolve around a school calendar. This was some time after I graduated from college...

Photo friday–Feeling fernish

We all probably know by now that repetition is terribly pleasing to the eye. I am always drawn to artwork that utilizes repetition, and today I discovered that Mother Nature knows a little something about repetition, too. Check out this lovely fern leaf...

photo friday–having a (bumpy) ball!

It’s almost a shame that I can only share this photo with you for inspiration. Personally, I can imagine rolling these balls in paint and then over some fabric, or even rolling them over a gelatin printing plate to “pull off” some texture. But alas, I...
