Superior and Artsy Sites to See

This week is a little mix of

work and play.

Although, I'd never call creating 

artwork, actual work. 

Onward, to some play and play then. . . 

Here are a few of my pieces from this 

past week. 

~Mixed media fun. 

Pink kitty

Mixed media with colored pencils,

paint, and collage papers. 

Blue eyed Frida mixed media

Folk art bird.

The quote is one of my favorites on faith:

Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings

when the dawn is still dark. -Tagore

Been there. . . 

On Saturday, we took a visit to Superior

Arizona. It's not too far from our house. 

Here are a few fun pictures of the 

desert and the town. 

The fruit on the saguaro's are open

now, feeding many of the desert animals. 

That's Picketpost Mountain 

in the background. 

They drop from the top to the ground

and feed more creatures there. 

Isn't it pretty? 

This was one of the fun artsy houses

we drove by. 

This house made me smile when

I saw John Wayne at the front door. 

The following are some of the

town shops with their murals. 

Thank you so much for 

visiting!

I hope you have a wonderful week.

Little Girl At Heart Art

As I look over this collection

of pieces from the past

week, it reminds me that I'm 

still a little girl at heart. 

Bright colors

and cheerful themes

are what I'm drawn to. 

I'm the same way when it comes

to movies. 

I want to leave the theater uplifted and happy,

not drained or discouraged. 

There's enough heavy stuff

going on in every day life.

Movies and art tend to be pleasant escapes

for me most of the time.

The following are mostly mixed

media pieces, which

I've been having fun

with lately. 

The saying on this last piece is actually

one of Willie Nelson's song titles. 

My dear artist friend Dede and I both

love Willie Nelson music and this

is her favorite song of his.

It makes me smile. 

Thank you for visiting. 

I hope you have a fabulous and productive week!

Painted Lamp

I've been all out of sorts when it comes

to artwork these past few weeks. 

My husband is home for the summer

and my daily schedule is all off kilter. 

My creative spark has fizzled

and I'm hoping it's just a temporary slump. 

I've figured out it's going to take

some effort on my part to get back 

on track and figure out my new routine

while he's here. 

Don't get me wrong, it's nice having him home,

it's just that it's not the same as being alone. 

I'm working on figuring it all out.

In the meantime, I've been doing some spring cleaning 

and rearranging in the house. 

There was an all white lamp and shade on my 

nightstand that I decided to move into our family room. 

Before I did that, I thought, 'Why not give it some color?'

I think it turned out pretty

cute and gives a nice pop of color

to the family room. 

Now it's on to the rest of the day. . .

I hope you're enjoying yours. 

Until next time,

Terri
