One Girl's Fear Is Another Girl's Field Trip ~

My "job" as an artist can sometimes lead me to the most interesting places.  Places where the warm sun splits through the trees ~ 

Amazing light.  Amazing Grace ~ 

Peaceful - Restful - People - Names.  Goldie, Minnie, Lilah and Grace ~

So much history, love, loss.  "Lilly" ~ 

With all due respect, I honor this in my own way ~ "Miss. Lilly's Roadside Motor Hotel" ~

When I was a small girl, I was ever so frightened by death.  No more fear.  I have witnessed the end up close and personal ~ 

I have heard the last breath ~ 

There is beauty on the grounds of a resting place.  (Peacefully He Sinks to Rest) ~ 

....and sad, heartful loss ~ 

Audrey ~ 

Angus ~

Baby ~ 

This place that some are fearful of.  Some are saddened by.  I find life here.  Quiet thought, beauty, 


The worlds I create in my art often walk me through cemeteries ~ 


"The Haunting of La Llorona" ~

"Lida's Swan Song" ~ 

"Guardian of Winter's Bride" ~ 

"The Burning of Eulalia" ~

I am always, always lost lost lost in the thought, the work, the dreams that envelope my world...pulled to compose and paint and cut and make.  


Compose these little pieces, new worlds, respectful of death, the power of death.  Respectful too, of the power of life.  


Little jaunts, spur of the moment field trips with a friend.  Quickly, throw on a sweat shirt and grab my glasses.  No time for contact lenses on this day ~ 

Beginning.  Middle.  End.  Long.  Short.  Happy.  Sad.  Life.  Death.  Love ~

Until Next Time:

P.S.  Just a fun little side-note.  Since posting this, I've listed an original piece in my SHOP.  This piece has been offered in print for a few months, but I've decided to list the original.  I think it's time this "Little Red Riding Hood" inspired piece goes onward to a new home.  Entitled "An Unexpected Visitor", this piece was published in issue 13 of "Pasticcio Quartz" artzine.  Click HERE to go directly to the listing.

P.P.S.  How does a girl with so little to say manage to tweet over 7,000 times?
