My parents wanted me to be an accountant. That made me blue. Instead I dreamed of palettes across the sky. College was not to be. I hitched a ride on the star of a Gypsy and we embarked on adventures only dreamers may travel. Across time zones, continents, and oceans we found ourselves in a… Continue reading FFFC 77 — heaven on earth

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #146 — As the pieces fly on angels’ wings and dVerse OLN
As the pieces fly Colors fill the sky Cubists like Georges Braque Paint their worlds with gaps Filled in with synapse Rainbow ports; keyless locks As the stanzas flow Colored images grow Poets paint with words that sing Meaning caught 'twixt lines Like found grapes 'twixt vines Feeling rise on angel's wings https://youtu.be/Lzlc0-Mx0sk… Continue reading Reena’s Exploration Challenge #146 — As the pieces fly on angels’ wings and dVerse OLN
First Photo Collage
I've been doing small 5"x8" for a few years now, and it's been more by intuition or intention on a subject. This time I decided to try to create one by using a photograph and recreating it in a fashion using strips of paper. I saw a photo that Kathleen Jennette posted awhile ago and… Continue reading First Photo Collage
Collage: Two reapers and a castle
The other day I sat down with the boxes of assorted magazine cut-outs, separated by subject (animals, people, landscapes, things) with no idea in mind. I suspended my brain and let intuition pick the pieces. The collage put itself together, a piece at a time. It was too big to scan so I took a… Continue reading Collage: Two reapers and a castle
under the new moon — K.
The wonderfully talented artist/poet, Kerfe Roig, brightens my day with her worldview, as expressed through her art. Please take a moment to enjoy today's offerings from her. The day is dreary and cold. A passing subway train, nearly empty, rattles the window as I remove the screen. A few black umbrellas walk by. The… Continue reading under the new moon — K.

Collage — Big Hair
Kerfe's been encouraging me to get back to my artwork. My primary medium is 5" x 8" paper collage. I pulled out the magazine clippings tonight. Usually it takes a long time to find the right images to go together, but tonight, these picked themselves. I took a pic with the phone camera as usual,… Continue reading Collage — Big Hair

Daddy'z Breakdown is a Grand Rapids, MI band I was lucky enough to see when I went to a little place called Tip Top Deluxe to see another band playing that night. I bought their CD, which they were selling at the show. I went back to see them the next time they played. This… Continue reading Coloring Club Plus — 3/6/19
