My server host was supposed to fix the problem. Waiting now for over 48 hours, so let’s give it another try! Quick sketch of my 5 star sleeping arrangements

Lesson Learned

After months of not blogging I had completely forgotten what I had learned using elementor/wordpress. What should have been less than an hour to write took quite a few. Then when I didn’t get a notice about the post I started to worry whether my posts were even going out. Turns out they weren’t!

Grounds Week 2

Slow Burner It’s been a long month New Year’s and all the holidays with weekends mixed in. New gr-granddaughter Ellie, new status! Feel so blessed! New intensive online workshop with Sara Post! Lots of inspiration, Great community! And lots of work! New computer not quite set up! Is it any wonder that my blog was put on slow burner! Just covering the white substrate is enough to give you something to react to.  We looked at various artists work: Helen Frankenthaler Nanou Jacobs John Zurier Inga Dal David Hockney

For many years I blogged on Blogger by Google and WIX


Sometimes we have to make a change. Click the buttons above to see previous posts

I earned a BFA in Sculpture from RISD, and after retiring, returned to art—branching into oil painting, drawing, and sketching. These days, I work primarily in oils and cold wax, with my sketchbook always close at hand. I started this blog to share my ongoing journey—experiments, insights, and the quiet joy of making. Recently, I’ve also been exploring poetry as another way to engage with the world around me.
