My boys creations thru the years…


Obviously the tea pots are just there to hold things up and because this was my tea pot collections cabinet, but,I wanted my sons projects more spread out so I could see them all. I noticed how most of them are from my 18 that he made while he was in school. My 13 and I noticed that most of the things he has brought home over the years were more, paper projects. That makes me wonder about Art in our schools and just were it is going. They have noticed the clinical aspect of coloring at any age. I truly feel art can be used to help heal, it is its own therapy. As social studies and history have been debated  necessary I could never see art that way. Our kids argue on why do they need to study this and that and how they will not use them ever in life after school and to a point I do agree, but then there is the few who will become history majors, or history and social studies teachers, we’re would they be? So the arguments can go on forever (,even if I am just arguing with myself!!!, lol) But not with Art, It is necessary for all youth.

Try


I can let things get to me at times 

 instead of pushing on I can just stop and think about how hard it is

how impossible it can seem 

Even why bother anymore

Just be….

Leaf


I must have taken 30 shots from different angles with different devices and I guess this is the best one. This leaf imprint was on my windshield and it was a perfect leaf. From this angle it’s short and fat, not the actual print but I just could not get it to show up in most of my pics…..

A Pop of Color


This one took some time it was way easy. I wanted something that was me. The one under this was what I was originally going to use, then I saw the sign and knew it was the one. I liked them both so thought I would share them with you.

Treasure


There are so many ways to express the things I treasure,  family and friends, home, etc.etc.etc.

At this point in my life, time is what I treasure most. Being able to be with the ones I love as much as possible, appreciating every new day.

BIG 


This may not be very creative with my pov but there is only so much I can do with this tree!! I love this tree, my kitties climb it and play with each other on it, and it was the tree my dog chose as her place to sit or lay under. It’s extended so much farther than this picture looks.
