So I’m only two months into my bullet journal obsession so I’m not an expert by any means. However, I have found some things I love. And I did tell you Sunday, I’d share my favorite things, so let me show you. My favorite type of page is any which […]
Bullet Journal Craziness Ahead

Sunday Link Love
“A very small sampling of the female artists now in their 70s, 80s and 90s we should have known about decades ago.” Awhile back some guy online tried to insult me by telling me only little old women must like my work. He thought he thoroughly succeeded because I […]
Look At These Magnificent Women!
This week I’m going to focus on sketchbook themes. The Sketchbook Project is an excellent resource. You select a theme, pay the fee, they send you a sketchbook. Once you are finished, you send it back and they put it on display with thousands of other sketchbooks. Spend a little […]

Link Love – Sketching
Let’s talk about podcasts. I love podcasts. I don’t remember how or why I started listening to them, but they’ve changed my life. That’s not an exaggeration. I used to just turn on some music and get to work, but I’ve found I like podcasts even better. Although, when I’m […]

I have decided for the sake of inspiration and over-all enjoyment of life, I will venture to a new place each week. I think I underestimated how involved travel blogging was. It has been a bit overwhelming for me so I’ve just avoided it. However, part of the joy of […]
Missouri Botanical Gardens
January was amazing! Being an artist felt like I always thought it should. Then February hit and I decided to focus on the children’s book I’ve been trying to finish for 5 years. A book I love and completely support. But something about it just causes me to shut down. […]
Artist Block With A Book Review
Richard and Michael fixed my alternator! I even learned a thing or two. They wouldn’t take money and when I tried to take them out to lunch they ended up buying me lunch. They also gave me a ride to the Good Will and waited for me instead of just […]

Technology has me beat, but not for long. I’m waiting for a new card reader so I can share images of my 30 paintings in 30 days. I should get it on Saturday. I just remembered I have a scanner and if I can get it to work, I may […]
Technology has me beat,
Today, after checking out several new artists on the 30 in 30 challenge I headed over to the art gallery to wrap up the work on my paintings. As I left the were being beautifully arranged by Leslie, the owner. While I was there we worked on adding me to […]
The Bowery Art Gallery
I love the idea of drawing on wood. These drawings are wonderful and so life-like, I had a moment of panic when I noticed his ear buds next to the “spilled” wine. At first glance, I also thought the pug was a sculpture, al la deer trophies. Photo credit […]

Looking through the art and culture section of Huffington Post, I came across two articles about hotels. My favorite is the Pantone Hotel: Photo credit, Pantone Hotels But I would turn my nose up at any of these.

I was reading this article on Huffingtonpost and really needed to share this gif. I also found the possible photograph of van Gogh next to a self-portrait fairly interesting.
Mesmerizing van Gogh
This is a little “everything but the kitchen sink.” I could have split it up, but I’m hoping to have much more content coming soon. After Vandalia, I went to the very popular Starved Rock state park in Illinois for my birthday. Now I’m in one of the prettiest parks […]
Carlyle And Some Cool Happenings
Speaking of a new routine, I have eaten almost 100% paleo for a few weeks. I heard about it for years, as I’m sure you have. I believe I first heard of it from Dooce. Glenn is also a fan. However, I didn’t give it a serious look until I started reading Nerd […]
Link Love (Paleo Edition)
So far Florida is only sort of living up to my expectations. Yes, I did get to wear a tank top yesterday and take the dogs for a long walk. Yes, my camp site is free. However, you get what you pay for in this case. The camp area is […]
