Postcard Play, Odds and Ends

Caught my second wind at 11:30 pm. Truth be told it was my first wind. Pulled out the left over paints I have on dishes, and in bowls. I have missed my “colors”. Thought about doing bouquets, but hey, it was almost midnight. So a single bloom on a deep background won out.

Happy little accident in card one. Do you see it? Indigo ran amuck.

Feel so much better now that I painted. Caught up on some “work” reading today. Found some glitches I had to fix in my Society6 shop. Still some to address. Amazing how long the “little” things can take! The server will be down for a few hours tonight. The internet company is upgrading or some such. So my apologies in advance if you had a hard time reaching this site.

I found that I had not posted these photos of our last snow. About two weeks ago now. Maybe three. I love how you can see the mounds of earth that formed eons ago. Those are not always visible. Both of these were taken on the same day, within a 20 minute time span.

Beautiful Mingus.

More catching up, I finished this project last week. I have been working on a design assignment, and fell behind on posting. Take a look at my new “Inspiration board”. There will be a larger board on the wall next to this.

Ahhh… art on the wall!

Remember those cork trivets? Hung them with Command strips.

First LYA Sides Arrive

Postcards from David Wolanski and Kris McNeil. LYA 2017

Kat Sloma’s Liberate Your Art swap is still a week away. But look at the awesome side swaps that have come my way!

The trees are both from David Wolanski. The top photo is a Limited Edition Postcard Series. “Black and White Meditations #6 , 7 of 25” Taken in the Mississippi Delta with His Holga Film Camera. Dreamy don’t you think!?

The tree on the bottom is at Windsor Ruins. David wrote that he sends cards out at random intervals, just because he can. So this is an extra, extra card! Thank you David for adding me to your list! I have a fondness for trees. This one reminds me of a tree I slid down at Girl Scout camp. David teased that he would learn how to spell my name. No Worries. There are about five ways of spelling it, and mine makes the least sense. LOL. Here’s a little personal (that means I made up) grammar rule: “I before e except after c and sh”.

The wonderfully historic, and slightly scary, building is in Old Town Square in Prague. I believe it is the Týn Church. Kris McNeil has a larger version on her site. So beautiful! And check out her banner shot – WOW!

I just love learning about historic places and buildings. And I have to admit I took longer than usual writing this post. Thank you Kris and David for introducing these treasures to me! I love each of these cards!

Sunset in Prescott Valley

Tonight the sunset was spectacular. Looking to the east, there was just a mellow pinkish peach that warmed Mingus and then the sky. But out back was this…
