T stands for a taste of fall...
Watercolor fall flowers

Procreate practice

 T stands for a wine tasting at one of our favorite small businesses, Mill River Winery.

Love our table.
Wine barrel filled with Mill River corks.

We teamed our sample with a charcuterie plate.

Just a bite, 
But delicious

    What a fabulous card you created and a practice page, too. They both remind me of the changing leaves of autumn. What beautiful things you create.

    I enjoyed seeing the wine tasting. Two whites and two reds. I'm not a wine (or any alcohol) drinker, but I know my colors (grin). Tiny bites, but enough to keep your tummy happy and you from getting loopy. Thanks for sharing your incredible art and your wine tasting experience with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nan. Sorry I'm so far behind, I haven't had time to send you an e-mail.

    Looks like a fun tasting. I definitely have to have a bit of food when I do wine. It goes right to my head. Loving the art too Nan. Hope it was a happy T day and you didn't get too wet. Hugs-Erika

    Pretty card. There’s also a broad-edge brush in Procreate. That wine tasting looks good and fun idea for a table. Happy TDay

    Both of your paintings are wonderful, but I especially love the fall flowers! We sat outside and enjoyed a glass of wine and cheese and crackers overlooking Seneca Lake last week. It was probably the last time we'll be doing that until next spring!

    The autumn flowers card is gorgeous, Nan. Wine tastings are a lot of fun. Hubby and I go about once a year. But not this year. Oh well.

    Happy T-Day. Stay safe and well. Hugs, Eileen

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craf...

T stands for Transformation..

and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula...

T stands for Tranquility amid the turbulence...

Every click of the television remote or blast from the radio brings more aggressive news of hateful words and actions.  The stress of the situation is exacerbated by the sad fact that I have no impact over the current environment.  All of the lessons of history seem to be lost.   I can only hope that at some point peace, respect and common sense prevail.  Amid all of this discord and hostility, Nish and I went in search of some tranquility. There is no place it is easier  to find than in nature, so we headed to Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. Majestic trees Beautiful Vista And then we moved through the labyrinth. Moving meditation Labyrinth move within, let go circle, center, continue  end, let go, begin The current exhibit is Painted Landscapes: Contemporary Views.  Some of my favorites:  So much inspiration taken from the beauty of nature. It was back outside to one of my favorite water featur...
