Studio View

View from my art studio table. Its not much of a #view as it looks out at the neighbor's roof. Just as well, a great view would be distracting, best to give oneself over to inner peace and creativity when making art  To see what came out of all this art making visit my etsy shop at

Painterly look

via Instagram http://ift.tt/1XfiAPu
Artists will recognize my painterly look, lol. This shirt is over 20 years old, my husband wore it as a teenager to his summer house painting job not knowing many years later he would marry an artist who would liberate it to wear while making art everyday. This is recycling at it's frugal artist best.

Thinking of wine

Out for a walk when we came across these wonderful wild fall grapes growing on the side of a house at the end of the street. Visions of geurilla wine making and covert midnight harvesting went through my head. Fortunately my husband usually talks me down before i get in too much trouble, lol.

Windy water day at PortStanley beach

Crazy windy water day at Port Stanley beach lake Erie, my husband Shawn made it out to the pier but I chickened out ,the wind made it seem like we were standing in front of a sandblaster. Check out the poor seagulls trying not to get picked up and whipped around. Too dangerous to fly today!!

Vignettes of memories

via Instagram http://ift.tt/1MgyAKN
I like to make little decor vignettes around the house using objects we've collected over time. This is a clock i inherited from my folks, it sits on our bakers rack along with some natural objects found outside and topped with a cute little wooden mouse that was a gift from my father in law. I know its all just stuff but the joy for me lies in the fact that this stuff has personal memories and story.

I love these mini pumpkins!!

I love these mini pumpkins that my hubby brought home to me, he knows how much i love seasonal decor and autumn especially. Thanks sweetie!!!

UPDATE on the seasonal pumpkins, I'm a person who can't stand to waste food, so we have since eaten the seasonal pumpkins, lol. I cut off the tops, scooped out the seeds (roasted those) then put a pat of butter inside and pie seasonings, then roasted them on the bbq. They were very good!!!

My Herbs in Container Garden

I just  potted up some new plants I got from the Horton street open air market just down the road, here in St.Thomas.
Some mint, basil and tomato. The chives I already had, they are brave survivors of many winters and pretty much indestructible, thank goodness. While I love having fresh herbs and tomatoes I don't have the best luck growing them.

A little night wine

Taking a bit of 'me' time watching the neighbors fireworks light shows and enjoying the fire torches with a glass of wine.

Bbq-ing with Patches

Here is our dog patches, inherited from my father in law. He's a sweetie but a howler if something  good  goes by.....by good  i mean ,a cat, another dog, skateboarders, fire trucks,  mailman, newspaper man, etc.
He's  enjoying the yard and the snazzy leash zip line Shawn  rigged. Oh happy day, bbq-ing with the dog in the yard on a long  weekend.
