Day 492: What can I do on an i-pad?



While on Grandma TLC duty ...
I play on my i-pad.
So today, a digital collage.







Fun for me.






And, a commercial ...

Day 491: What's on a page?



Grandma TLC goes on duty Friday.
TLC = taxi, launder, cook for three teenage young men.
Add in four dogs of various ages and size.
What their Mom does so skillfully ...
requires a behemoth effort from Grandma.
And since I haven't mastered blogging from my i-pad ...
today ...  a simple journal page.




Sometimes simple is good .




And, a commercial ...

Day 490: Happy Thanksgiving 2013



I love Thanksgiving. 
Everyday should be Thanksgiving!
So I tried to digitally compile just some of 
the people that bless or have blessed my life ...






it's like an eye test.
And, if you're not there ...
it's only because I couldn't find a photo.
So to you, your family and loved ones ...

Day 489: Somebody turned up the dial?


Can you feel it?
Yesterday at Costco I saw territorial parking fever.




Today I had another store return, amid elbows and caroling.
There must be a dial, and somebody turned it up!


5x5 canvas, acrylic & collage



I am working on artwork for the upcoming sale.
It's a nice little sale, no malls, lines or elbows.
I'll include a commercial at the end of each day's blog ...
for the next ten days ...
just in case?

Day 487: Playtime!



After a long day of catch up ...
I reward myself with playtime!
Here they are ...




three variations ...




similar, but different ...




a random digital collage.
No specifics, just play.





A smile for the approaching holiday ...

Day 486: House of Art ...



Saturday ...  a drive down PCH to Dana Point ...




to visit two fine artists in their home.






Anne Moore is a renown printmaker, and ...




Hyatt Moore is a renown painter.
Together they travel the world creating and teaching.




Twice a year they open their home as a gallery.
And, this year to celebrate Hyatt's latest book ...





Entering ... an amazing blend ...




of painting, color & artifacts from extensive travels.




To see a better home tour, see Hyatt's blog here.




Portraits, abstracts and more ...




small and large ...




Anne specializes in monoprints ...





beautiful elegant work, widely collected & exhibited.




So a visit to their studio is ...




amazing ... fascinating ...




a creative space for two working artists.




A wonderful visit ...




and you can too if you're in the neighborhood.




Open again today, Sunday ...

They can't all be gems.
