Copying a master~Charles Van Sandwyk

His drawings are magical!

It may be January but spring will be here before we know it and these beauties will be busy at work...too early to start a spring count down??

Miss Maggie on the alert!

Maggie continues on chemo therapy( 5 month mark)  and is doing quite well...shedding like crazy but no new tumors!  We are very happy about this.

Plastic Bullet app

Now this is fabulous!

Have you seen this?

 I received one for Christmas from a dear artsy friend, and it is FABULOUS!

A blank board..

Draw a picture using water and a japanese brush...

moments later...

Poof!  Gone!  Evaporated...

just let it go..

very Zen.

How lovely and more fun than you can possibly imagine!

Some amazing art can result..

A portrait of Miss Maggie by artist Drew Berry

and yes there is an app for that!

Check out Buddha Board, you will not be disappointed.  Of course you may already be enlightened to it's existence, for me a wonderful discovery!  Thank you Morgan...

Winter morning

IPhone Photo

There has been no snow to speak of in a winter marked by relatively mild temperatures...but this morning's sunrise brought

magical ice crystals in the Sun Room...

actual air temperature  ~ 0.  

BRRRR!

Happy New Year!

 

Ending the year with a dreadful head cold that thankfully is now fading away....

no New Years Eve revelry for me...

 

A comfy chair, a cup of tea and a little art making to mark the closing of 2011.

 Confession....I was in bed asleep at 9PM!

Beginning 2012 on a much brighter note with TWO

new NME (no more excuses) journals:

This one a much larger format with loads of room to write and create!

And the beginnings of a grand adventure called

"No More Excuses Under the Influence"!

More journaling on a daily basis with an emphasis each month

on an individual artist!

First up is Hundertwasser
