More 'Journal of Interesting - Ornithologia' work

The class (focusing on a working journal and birds) continues, and I've done a lot of research, play and productivity.  That productivity has been through finished work and work intentionally left undone.  If I've left it incomplete, that in itself is a remarkable feat of letting go because I normally like to do finished work. 

Working with watercolors (a personal choice) during this class has provided a bit of release from the rule of 'coloring between the lines' because they don't always work the way you want. That has been a relief so that I could have more fun in the doing of the work...and to focus on exploration.  Beyond that, focusing on birds has involved a great deal of learning too--since we do a deep dive into this subject focus.

Some of the work done most recently includes these.  Descriptive words I'd use for them in order are: structural, surreal and sensitive.  





In your creative work, have you ever done a deep dive into your subject area?

These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
