"Pele"

Electric

When I was very young, I lived, for a time, with my father, his parents and his sister, my Aunt Charlene, who was 10 years older then I was. She had many friends that came over while she sat me, all of who I thought I wanted to be like. I remember the Candy Apple red Camaro one of her boyfriends would drive up to the house in, thinking to myself, WOW!!! I remember hearing the Cars for the first time "Shake It Up" on the radio and it was burned into my brain. It was one of the first groups I ever liked. When I listen to their music, any song, I remember being introduced to the kind of fun that I was not old enough to participate in yet, feeling cool like one of the older kids, though I was not. Having a feeling of an electricity that was about to come, knowing in my future, I would never let anyone see the ugly duckling I was. When they all left , I could still listen and daydream about how cool I would be and what I would waste no time doing.

When I hear this music, I always feel cool and electric, no matter what!

What a trip...still.

My Shins and Feets

Been out of it for a bit....This was good exercise while my dogs were resting.

"My Butterfly"

Then when I was distraught

And could not speak,

Sidelong, full on my cheek,

What should that reckless zephyr fling

But the wild touch of thy dye-dusty wing!

"My Butterfly" Robert Frost

A piece done by my beautiful granddaughter, Cynthia.

The most beautiful of Butterflies.

Workings by Doodie....

Some drawings to share by my two-year-old, Grandson Ethan. He loves to fill up every page before starting a new composition. To watch him think for a moment before he slowely starts to create his drawing is a gift. He watches his hand movement with the markers or crayons so that he learns what types of shapes he can make. He also has a pinache for room redecoration.... :0)

Is

it Is.

Is was on my mind, dying to get out, only Is was made upside down from the inside out and I had no idea what Is was until I turned Is around. Then I added some blades of grass. Then posted Is the wrong side down.....

Timeless

Had to capture this womans lovely face. She is featured in a Talbots catalog for this spring. The issue did not mention her name. I believe she may be one of the clothing designers and she also modeled a shirt. She is obviosly senior to the other models, however....in my opinion she is the most beautiful.

Plant at the Window

It's been a long time since I've used water color paints (grade school) and I have a whole new appreciation for them. My mom, Tracey loves to create with all kinds of media and I've been dying to try something different so when we got together, we played with water color paints. This is a fantasy piece I painted to teach myself how to apply leaves and vines without using a lot of brush strokes. The vines were actually blown out with a drinking straw. I learned that technique in grade school as well. Hah hah!!
