Viper & Other Art
Viper, paper collage, 2023 I’ve been going through an ebb in the way of creative ebbs and flows for roughly the past two weeks, since I posted Evelyn and company. It wasn’t until yesterday that I was able to sit down and make some collages I was at least somewhat pleased with. I hope you…

Where Humanity Lives
Northern Mockingbird Yesterday, I got inspired to write a post about the importance of challenging ourselves. Of continually trying new things, of seeking out new and exciting ways to test our abilities, and of having the courage to follow our passions, interests, curiosities. As I was organizing my thoughts on the subject, a small voice…

Birds of Winter, Part IV
Eastern Bluebird (female) I’ve been going through a lot of bird seed this winter. When I say “a lot,” I mean about 55 lbs of seed per month plus suet. That may not be a lot for everyone, but it is for me. It’s almost double the amount of food I went through last winter.…

I started the week with pink eye (conjunctivitis), of all things. It was mild but just irritating enough to spoil the creative mood on the two days I had scheduled studio time:…

Into the Sunset & Other Art
Into the Sunset, paper collage, 2023 Here is a new batch of collage art. As you may have noticed (from this and previous posts), I can’t seem to stay away from vintage Tabasco ads: that squirting hot sauce bottle is way, way too much fun not to reuse. Please enjoy. Also, I have some good…

Birds of Winter, Part III
Eastern Bluebird (male) There are four bluebirds who have been visiting my feeders all day everyday for the past few months. And they eat a lot. So much that I’ve gotten in the habit of refilling the mealworm trays before I go to sleep at night–in case I am not outside before sunrise to make…
