Small pleasures . . .


"Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing."
-- Camille Pissarro


That's the beauty of being an artist. We see things slightly differently.

So when I noticed these condensation bubbles on the inside of a water bottle, I fell in love. Look at the different sizes of bubbles. Look at the patterns they make as they follow the bottle's contours. And how the backlighting creates a lovely warm glow.

What's not to love here?

We are so blessed to notice things like this.

Chaos reigns . . .



CHAOS REIGNS . . . Here’s what my worktable looked like last week. There’s a lot going on, but no destination. I decided to make small (4x6”) postcard-like collages, but don’t know what I will do with them.

Any interesting little extraneous bits of paper end up going into a couple of Moleskine cahiers. Neither one is full yet, and so I keep going. But THEN what?

Gotta say, however, that all this does look pretty cool. And it’s fun to make random things. I just seem to have a problem FINISHING anything! And even when finished, THEN what?
