oh, hello there Sunday!️? “Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.#weneedthis #inverness #riverness #qotd #selfcaresunday #radicalgratude #oliverwendellholmes #sundayinspiration #gatekey #sharelove #scotland #lovesscotland #newmoon #micromoon

“Footprints on the Moon” unexpectedly arrived yesterday (as in I had no idea one was coming to me). I cracked it open this morning, with my coffee, and was delighted by the first line: “Committed, creative people can change the world (in fact, they’re the only ones who do).” I’ve often shared articles, been compelled to create programs and whenever I get the chance (like now), go off on how essential creative expression is to the fabric of our society, our personal well being and to how we show up, contribute and give back. Now what and so what? For starters, we’re in the midst of the holidays so buy from local makers and creators. ‘Tis the season to give so find workshops, classes and teachers and give your loved ones experiences they will always remember. And finally, do something nourishing for yourself. Make Christmas cards, or sprinkle glitter (mica, of course) on everything or sing carols at the top of your lungs even if you’re by yourself and your dog is judgy. Find something…some form of creative self expression and use it! We need it. ? …#artistpov #creativeexpression #sethgodin #altmba #selfexpression #problemsolving #designthinking #tedxtalks #shopsmall #buylocal #footprintsonthemoon #grateful #artform #morningthoughts #coffeinbed #dailyinspiration #qotd #mydogisajudgyjudger

It seems like a bland day but this kind of soft grey light brings out the colors and textures so nicely. …#portlandoregon #powellbutte #powellbuttenaturepark #designlife #studiolife #inspirationdaily #dogwalkinglife #artistpov #pnwonderful #patternobserver #colorpop

Experimenting is so good. No expectations about outcomes. Just playing with materials to see what they’ll do. It also helps pass the time. My super fun niece and nephew are flying in from Altlanta. I can’t wait to go get them tonight!This started as a quickie encaustic monoprint when I was cleaning out the studio the other day. Followed by a layer of gold leaf from LA Gold Leaf and a smear of Daniel Smith transparent watercolor ground here and there. Then some more watercolors on top. That was a surprise! It reminded me of when we mixed crayons and watercolor in kindergarten. I had forgotten how much I love to see the water bead up on the wax. Tonight was doodling with a Uni-Ball Signo pen. I had no idea if the pen would work but it seemed to lay down nicely over the ground. …#exploreart #experimentalart #encausticmonoprint #encaustic #mixedmediaonpaper #goldleaf #abstractartwork #lagoldleaf #danielsmith #uniballsigno #uniballsignowhite #flypdx #gillianwelch #thebegoodtanyas #musictomakeartby

The wee beastie is plumb tuckered out after his spa day today: teeth cleaned, nails trimmed, a thorough brushing and something unmentionable on the back end. …#schipperke #schipperkesofinstagram #chowmix #rescuedoggo #rescuedog #mrbear #plumbtuckeredout #vcaanimalhospital

“No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.” – Oscar Wilde…#iseearabbit #orkneyislands #ringofbrodgar #travelscotland #latergram #lovescotland #scottisharchaeology #scottishweather #quote #qotd #oscarwilde #artistsonart #artistpov
