… butterflies in a mobile that a friend gave to me several years ago,
dried flowers disintegrating at a wonderfully slow pace,
oak leaves shining like jewels in a coronet,
and water dissipating on a window pane.

an orange balloon floating down the center of the street
the canoe behind the house, perched against an old tree everyone feared would fall. the tree remained standing but its few remaining leaves fell in the wind.

Meanwhile as I work from home today because of Sandy, it is fascinating and inspiring and a wee bit fear-inducing to watch the rising winds dance with the oak tree that towers above the house. The leaves fall to earth in a beautiful golden brown spiral.
Somehow it seems more right (excuse the bad grammar) to try to capture what I see with other tools besides my camera. I may feel differently over the course of the day as the light changes with the approaching storm, and the action outside my window is such that I want to capture as much as fast as I can with pixels instead of calming watercolors.
We shall see what the evening holds. Meanwhile have a good, safe day, folks. 😉
2013 calendars: leaves, petals and winged beasts

Not to rush time, but I am happy to share that I have two 2013 calendars available for purchase: Leaves and Petals and Butterflies and Moths. I’ve ordered them both and am quite pleased with the quality. Even though many people keep detailed schedules on their phones these days, for those who still like to put pen to paper or just glance at a wall calendar with a peaceful image, I hope these items will be of interest for personal use or as a gift. I have one more calendar planned before year’s end and its imagery will focus on food. Stay tuned. 😉

ephemera

I recently sent my young nephew a paper object (a train). I warned his parents that it was coming through the mail, and that I did not expect it to last more than one gleeful scream and then be forever changed as strong young hands enjoyed an ephemeral object. And that was okay. I wanted to give him a gift that could be enjoyed in the moment and not worried about preserving.
These ephemeral works I created as a gift to myself … and probably to my neighbors below. I could not sleep and decided I should stop pacing the night away. And so I sat and found some paper and pens … and some leftover lip gloss and decided to see what might end up on the page.
