Instead of getting ready for an art show that's coming up on April 12, (true to form) I've been procrastinating and working in my art journal. Enjoy! Also walking and taking 📸 of my cats!

March = transition....it's been a very tiring season of transition. Making art helps.

Twice today, while seeing my new water bottle out of the corner of my eye, I thought, why do I have a cheese grater on my desk!

Test print of my new block calls "Teapot and tulips".... inspired by my spring garden and my country-girl esthetic.

This piece has made me ponder "Tulipomania," which was a very strange economic time in Holland between 1634-1637...check out the movie, Tulip Fever. 😉

Carving linoleum is extremely cathartic and restful...which is very needed in view of recent events. Friends, I hope you have been able to find some rest these days. Self care is important.

This article made me laugh! And while I have read most of Jane Austen's novels,
Mansfield Park is the one I struggle with. So yep! I am attempting to read through it again.

I was lost in the cesspit of social media. Then Jane Austen showed me the way out www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Why spend every evening fighting trolls on X when you could be working your way through the greats of literature? No more online rage, recriminations, doom-scrolling …
