Grateful for the cooler temps of Fall!

 September is zooming by. I will try to catch up here with this blog post.  In the later part of August I went on an art retreat. Met up with dear art friends and had a wonderful time making art together for four days. These times only happen every other year at best and so they are very special- this is the best food for my soul. I have had a lot of losses this year- the love experienced in these wonderful days together filled my near empty well with laughter and joy and love.

So here goes with some random sharing.

This is a digital collage. - A terrific Albuquerque artist, Edward Martin posted this quote that I love. I had seen this quote quite a while ago and had forgotten about it. I just had to do a piece for it. I can't find who originally made this quote.

There's A Fine Line Between Genius & Crazy. I like To Use That Line As A Jump Rope.

 

 

I saw this Rumi quote and had to make this digital collage for it.
"People travel the world looking for the friend, but that one is always at home."

 

The next eight pieces are part of a series.  A friend sent me these house frames she found at Dollar Tree. I made these collages for them. These are now at Mariposa Gallery here in Albuquerque.

 

I loved these frames so much I ordered more from Dollar tree. These next four are a new series I started. The collages are mostly analog with some digital.

Music was Aaron's language of choice.

 

Clarence loved to write letters.

 

Leopold did not let the clouds spoil his day.
