I believe that art enriches and informs our lives everyday in many positive ways. Sharing those experiences, whether as an artist or as an appreciator, is part of the pleasure. I welcome your comments and hope you find something of value: a laugh, an insight, a new idea or just a happy moment. Enjoy art!

A New Morning

New Morning
5 x 7 original pastel matted to fit an 8 x 10 frame

Playing in a creek bed could amuse my sister and brother and I for hours...even WeekiWachi didn't hold a candle!  We'd build a dam, cool a watermelon, walk up the stream and freeze our tootsies.
Even today I can sit by a mountain stream for endless hours daydreaming, reading or collecting a pocketful of stones.  Truely de-stressing.
Next best thing is meditating on a painting done from this small portion of the Watauga River in western N.C.  The sun, just beginning to peek through the trees, reminds me that
every morning is a new one, a new opportunity, a clean slate.
Watauga (Wata gi) is a Cherokee Indian word meaning, loosely, beautiful waters, whispering waters, or village of many springs.  I like that.

  5. Colleen Gentry shared your blog on facebook. She is someone I adore and respect! When I read your post, I found it very honest and well written. I am an artist in my head but not with the paintbrush and I can very much relate to those feelings we all have. Thanks for the honest post.

  6. Gigi: Colleen IS amazing, thank you for checking out the blog and art; the day will come when you have time to pick up a paintbrush (or a pen, pencil, clay, camera...) and enjoy those artist tendencies; meanwhile your expressions in other ways are equally important if not more so!! visit again.
