"simple emotional response to life"

I painted, then added fabric paper to some parts of this piece.

Ah PEACE!

Be sure to enlarge it to see the textures up close.

Arboreal / Julie Prichard / the land of lost luggage

This is a flowering plum we planted out further on our property.

It looks so nondescript at the moment, but wait till fall and spring!

This was such a great idea, Julie!

I've already enjoyed perusing other bloggers trees...and the

gift of sharing come fall and spring...now here's a girl without

tunnel vision! ah ha!

A Chinese Pistache tree...in front of an oak and next to a mimosa.

mainly...the trunk

Julie Prichard/Land of lost Luggage

If you go to julie's sight, then you'll see what the TREE picture is all about.

If i was more savvy on the computer, i could just hook ya' all up but...i just don't know how...yet!This tree i just snapped in seal beach, unbelievable, huh!

Dulling our Senses...

I understand now why some bloggers check out for awhile...

more than one reason, here.

i'll be back much later with hopefully fresh or refreshing

ideas and comments.

i'm leaving with this little humorous post...

down below these sandaled feet is where i slept at

my sister cookie's this last week...and this is where

i stuck my glasses just before shutting my eyes.

i made this beach angel for cookie over 10 years ago

and just can't believe so much time has past!

below...this pic, i hope you enjoy the rest of her.

aloha!

Leaving on a jet plane with my little sister, carolyn to join our littler sisters in seal beach, ca...back on tues! xoxo

danny, tommy, katie...THE "4" body surfers

are gonna take OVER!!!!!

a cooling shot from our garden...

to leave you with. xxxxxooooooo

another "naive" painting/collage...

i'm loving them!

better view of their fabrics...like paper doll play!

new painting and collage

this shows her clothing up close

just framed her...getting others framed,

ready for a portfolio.

An angelic friday afternoon....aaaaaaaamen!

Just a little "naive art"

COLLABORATION

sometimes, people get these big ideas...

and i am loving this one...

if you wander over to mizkatie.com

she explained earlier about our collaboration.

she thought of it, and thought it out to the end,

better her than me. and what a grand idea

this has been for me!

first of all, i've always put my journals together AFTER

making the pages. i find this so inviting to open a book and paint away!

Also, this reminds me of following misty, and painting every single day or putting together a collage.

the challenge brings out the best in me (mostly) pushing to DO...and i am loving it katie!

i won't show anymore pages, well maybe some, heh heh heh!....
