Media Art

I've posted before about taking some Media Art Classes. I'm still working at it but just can't quite get the hang of it. I have great ideas but they never look the same on canvas. Is this a gift? Or will it eventually come to me? Hmmm - well, whichever it is, I keep plugging along and I'm sure I'll either "get it" or just continue to do it 'cause it's fun!!!

Teachers plant seeds that grow forever

 Home is FAMILY

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass

it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Then there is always the dilemma - 

What do you do with all of these???

Gifts...

Which reminds me - have you heard of the country churches - small town churches where the members MUST lock their car doors in the summer???

Too many home grown vegetables stuck in the back seats...

Is this what's going to happen when people see me showing up with yet another mediocre piece of art?

Bella Vista, Chapter 2

Mildred Cooper Memorial Chapel

Found in Bella Vista, Arkansas this chapel was built to honor Mildred Borum Cooper, wife of John A. Cooper, Sr., Founder of Cooper Communities, Inc, and is a fitting memorial.  Besides being a devoted wife, mother, and member of the community, Mrs. Cooper had a deep spirituality and a love for nature.  Her family commissioned the Chapel in her honor to celebrate her life and her dedication to God and his creations.

This is a beautiful place to visit. 

Very peaceful, calm and serene. 

I hope to visit again, sit and reflect.

Gardening

I used to garden. It was always a blessing to go out and pick a bounty that we would eat later that day - or I would can the goods or even freeze them. 

Once I moved to Kansas, I tried tomatoes the first year - too much shade in my backyard.

The whole backyard is shaded like this.

Which is GREAT for a time of retreat or cooking out.

Not so great if you want to be a farmer.

I even planted some in a container, put it on a wagon and moved the wagon around finding sun throughout the day. Didn't work, either.

So today's harvest of bounty -

Is brought to you from the Sedgwick County Farmer's Market.
