forty days















today...a little early spring cleaning in the yard, a walk down by the river, pausing to view an amazing rainbow and eight geese swimming upstream in a perfect line, finding not one but two lucky quarters, enjoying a late afternoon coffee....and celebrating the first day of lent. forty days (really forty six until easter) without sweets and instead lots of the above. please, wish me luck. i can only dream of sugar plum fairies dancing in the land of sweets.
what are you giving up?

pure lovely.


























+ inspiring me and making me happy:

my amazingly talented friend, chelsea james, is opening next friday night at coda gallery in park city. this is a small glimpse of the many beautiful landscape paintings she will be showing. i love her colors, mark making, layering of paint and especially the emotion that each piece evokes. i am so excited for her and can't wait to attend. please don't miss this one, february 27th 6-9 pm.

also, her lovely website.
