Breathing Peace, at the Park
Art, must engage all of our senses. Mine, anyway. Today’s walk was a simple one, around the block, trying to find a spot of serenity. I sat. So much for “exercise.” and breathed in as I listened to the wonderful sounds of water. Its lovely. Its Art. …just, in a different form than we mightContinue reading “Breathing Peace, at the Park”

Watercolors Rescued… from the bin
A moment of despair. It didn’t go as planned. The result was not what was expected, wanted, desired. And so, it was crumpled. Torn. Thrown away. Discarded.
