artist trading card self portrait


using paint mixed from laurie doctor's
poetry of painting workshop last weekend and
techniques from her poetry of handwriting class,
i created a self-portrait for the atc guild
at rock,paper,scissors.the image of me was at a
time of authentic wonder...i captured that feeling
again after being a part of laurie's magic and was
compelled to create these cards!

fabulous form by the lovely christi,one maven
from the world renown creative underground!

lovingly transported across state lines by the always
amazing and incomparable nancy connelly,my sweet soul sister!

to greet me after a never ending dose of reality yesterday.
thank-you,mary for always remembering! xoxoxox,d

once i arrived.....


blind contour drawing of an apple.have you ever seen that
little flower shape on the bottom of an apple?aha.
using phthalo blue(rs),quin.red and hansa yellow to mix a
neutral palette this is my first piece from the first of two
weekend long laurie doctor workshops at the foundry.
an amazing group of artists filled the room to blossom as
laurie transformed each of us with her thoughts,techniques,
affirmations and mind opening favorite poetry.
i have sooo much more to share,a soothing balm was given
and i received...once i arrived.

an expression of.....


"feeling gratitude
and not expressing
it is like wrapping a present
and not giving it."

creative,true friends and family.my heart and soul and well-being
have been filled to overflowing...gratitude looms large!!!!

lipstick and a stash of atc's....i am simply giddy with joy! this
gratitude bag is absolutely stunning,as is the little book b-day
card that my dear pal pat made for me!
