Happy Harvest Thanks!
I'm grateful for all the yummy food we harvested *and* helped to grow at the farm...aka P8guaso, a Nipmuc LandBack Project in so-called Millis, MA (all stages of it, all year), e.g. onions.
What a blessing to get to collaborate with healthy and happy land.

While on a trip to New Hampshire in September, I added to some mixed-media work I had brought along. Birch trees were all around us, and inspirational, so I added some to the pictures. Yesterday, I finished more, with borders and quotes.

Inspired by gorgeous fall leaves.
Tried a technique to capture their shapes and veins by dropping wc dyes/inks over a collection of them.
This didn't work as expected, but it was fun to doodle on the results.

"You are the master of your judgements, your decisions, and your actions."
I went outside the lines a bit and made this during an embroidery class today. It is helpful when we can express our unique selves (harmlessly).
I might add the quote to this painting. Thoughts?

Appreciation
I just made this as a form of meditation and relaxation. Can you tell what it says? I feel appreciation for many things, including the sun.
The style of the text was inspired by art I saw yesterday at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA (the grey image).

Courage to coexist?
Made this painting while trying out some new (fun!) art materials.
It's a real, literal situation (due to these furry friends potentially moving into our backyard), AND a metaphor for a lot of things in life...

Digitally collaged photos of Hellebore in garden (I used card stock with a slit & hole to wrap around the stem, to take pictures without removing them).
I designed these spreads that will be printed as a 5x7 notecard on "green" card stock for more fundraising (like others).

Stained Glass Cells from lines following a pebble
I learned about an art technique to push a pebble around a page with a pen, making marks as you go. Thanks, @demidawkinsart (IG)! So fun!
I added watercolor, and went over the lines again and again (very meditative) with various markers.
