Mingus was missing today. Cloudy and hinting at rain. A few small drops here and there. Poked through just before sunset. Just before the sky turned a weird shade of mauve.

Thank you Chandra!

The true use of art is, first, to cultivate
the artist’s own spiritual nature.
George Inness

 

A Good artist has less time than ideas.
Martin Kippenberger

 

Don’t think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad,
whether they love it or hate it.
While they are deciding, make even more art.
Andy Warhol 

 

A wonderful giveaway gift arrived! I am the lucky recipient of a copy of Botanical Mandalas, Louise Gale’s new book! I can’t wait to dive into it, but it will have to wait until the 100 is over. Hop on over to take a peek inside. Many of you a familiar with Louise from her wonderful Global Art Swap.

This book is gorgeous. It is about art, and building a deeper connection with nature. And flowers, and MORE flowers!

Thank you Louise, for sharing  your art with the world. For being an inspiration to so many. And for providing opportunities for new artists to share their art with others!

Thank you Louise, for my lovely copy of your beautiful book!!

Insanely behind now. I was gone a full week. Crazy busy. And the first days home were recovery and rest. I need more of that. I didn’t even have the energy to unpack, until day three.

To be honest, I am not sure I have the energy to paint. But I want to. I want to paint flowers, and cacti, and odd desert plants. And Mingus.

I have cut the paper to size. Quite a stack sitting ready. Tomorrow I will begin. Again.

Mingus number forty. This was difficult to scan, and the light blue in the sky is not true to life. Tempted to go back in and add a wash. If I do I will share it with you.

A sign of Spring, this yucca is getting ready to bloom.
