How can time pass as quickly as it does? I really don’t know, but I find myself with a week of September already gone. The garden has a different feel now. It smells different, but I’m not sure how to explain the smell. It’s been really hot the last...

The other day an artist friend I follow on Facebook asked if we meditate before we create our art. Mediation has not ever been something I sit down and proceed to “do”. I’ve tried to sit in the center of my living room and found that I start to focus...

I’ve decided to do the Funk in the City art show in September again. I’ve done this show for several years now and it usually is pretty hot. I’m hoping we have a nice, warm but not too hot day with no rain for this show. Of course that’s not...
