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.

Sunny Days and Sundry Projects

My mind is boggled by

the weather forecasters actually 

complaining about the 80 degree 

temperatures we're expecting this week. 

Granted, the normal temps are in the upper 60's, 

but I'm not seeing a thing to complain about. 

I'm going to enjoy every bit of warm

sunshine I can. 

My husband and I are just hoping our desert 

tortoises don't come out of hibernation. 

It's still too early for that. 

We're sure to have a cold snap

or two before spring arrives. 

They need warm nights

along with the warm days

to be happy and healthy. 

I made this post card

to send to my son-in-law and

daughter this week. 

It's nice to be remembered

when you're going through 

a tough time in life. 

It looks to me like my 5th grade

self made it, but it's the sentiment

behind it that counts, right?

Last weekend I drew

out a pattern for some

smaller sugar skulls and

my sweet husband cut them 

out for me. 

I finished this one 

with the exception of

the varnish, which should

make the colors pop

even more because it's a gloss. 

This last mixed media piece

is one I'm still working on. 

I'm kind of stuck and

am not sure where to go now. 

Maybe I'll just set her aside

for a while and come back

hopefully with some inspiration

as to where to go next. 

Thanks for visiting. 

Hope you have a great week!
