Another recent page from my art journal. I’m taking some advice from The Image Doctors to help me out of my creative rut, which is to not take my collages so seriously. I have quite a few clippings of images that I like but I don’t use them because I tell myself I’ve got to […]
One of the signs of spring is that first wasp you get inside the house. This one relentlessly traversed the front window for more than an hour, searching for a way back to the great outdoors. I followed it for as long as I dared with my macro lens only half an inch away, fearing […]
Here’s a recent page from my art journal, which I have neglected for some time. This is one of the first 5×7 collages where I didn’t feel intimidated by the larger page size (my first journal was 3 1/2 x 4 1/2).
I’ve been really frustrated that my collages don’t turn out how I think they […]
I can’t believe people still pinch those who don’t wear green on St. Patrick’s Day. I’m ecstatic, therefore, that the day falls on the weekend this year so I’m not required to endure the extremely bad jokes of a particular colleague at work. Dare I say, “bay, humbug!”?
Here’s a guide to the origins of […]
I came across this old ad from a 1950s Sears Catalog for Roy Rogers/Dale Evans costuming for children and began to wax nostalgic.I remember watching his tv show when I was a kid, though now I think they were probably reruns, as I hadn’t been born yet when the show first appeared. I’m guessing this […]
Don’t know what’s wrong with my brain.
Is it early signs of Alzheimer’s Disease?Do I have A.A.D.D.?Is it a P.M.T.? (post menopausal thing?)Or am I just Plain Loco?
I’m beginning to think Attention Deficit Disorder is a byproduct of modern society’s requirement that a person, even a child, must be able to multi-task at any given time. […]
Whoa! almost a week since I posted. Time flies when you’re busy, especially when you’re accompanied by gorgeous scenery like these Bradford Pear trees that popped open all over North Texas last week. I didn’t need this sign to tell me to “Stop and Look!”
As for Hitler….er Bush…..er Cheney…..er, oh yeah, this week it’s Rick […]
I ain’t religious.I AM superstitious.
so should I credit the successful sale of my house in Dallas to faith or luck?
I heard about the Catholic tradition of burying a statue of Saint Joseph in your yard to sell your house from a co-worker who had friends who swore by it. Since I never got even one […]
at least this is what my brain feels like.
Cracked.Empty.A Shell.A Shadow of its Former Self.
I worked a nearly normal afternoon shift Sunday. Then I had to decompress, sleep fast & get up at dawn for an hour and a half drive to work in Monday’s Rush Hour. Ha! Doing 20 on a 65 mph freeway […]
Superman decided to get a new job. The disadvan- tages of having multiple personality disorder, er, an alter-ego were becoming more apparent as each day passed. Clark Kent was tired of being out-scooped by Lois Lane. Every time he had to sneak out of the office to save the world he missed a big story […]
