Alcohol Ink Art - The Four Flowers

Never lose the child-like wonder. 

It's just too important. It's what drives us. 

Randy Pausch

This painting was created with Alcohol Inks and 

was inspired by Blue Chicory Wildflowers.

Alcohol Ink Art - Against The Mountains

Painting is a simple exercise 

in tension elimination.  

- Joseph E. Criscuoli

I was recently at one of our Art events where someone was demonstrating the use of

Alcohol Inks.  I found it to be such a soothing medium to work with.

Painting is the act of discovery and you're constantly enlarging your horizon or finding yourself every time you paint.

What are those green things on the forest floor?

These are the first "green things" of late winter/early spring

I find in the forest (along with ferns).  These pop up before

the wildflowers.

I wondered what they were.

I have found out that they are called Fan Clubmoss

also known as Ground Cedar and also known as Bears Paw in Southwest Virginia (where I am)

Wikipedia has some great info on this plant - HERE 

These were seen during my walk along 

Deerfield Trail in Blacksburg, VA on 02-21-18

Trees in The Forest

Let’s take our hearts for a walk in the woods and listen to the magic whispers of old trees.

Pink Coneflower - Flowers of Summer

“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.”

"From December to March, there are for many of us three gardens: the garden outdoors, the garden of pots and bowls in the house, and the garden of the mind's eye."
