Paw prints in the mud. Always a treasure to find on my morning hikes!!

I’m working on several projects at the same time this month. Making new paperclay pieces for the local gallery, starting a new commission (a pet portrait) and a custom Baseboard Mouse! Meanwhile, my daughter stays busy growing dahlias. The photo above is of one of my favorites. I love the two colors. And the fabulous shape of the petals.

Music is my other passion. When I’m not making art, I’m usually practicing my guitar. Our cat took advantage of the open case! She likes that soft lining.

This Monarch Butterfly has been enjoying a giant Thistle I neglected to pull out when it was first sprouting. Sometimes it’s good to let the “weeds” grow.

Early morning walks here in the mountains are often foggy and damp. And now, in mid-August, the birds are already heading south. Walks are much more quiet than in early summer when birdsong begins before dawn. A lovely "welcome to Latchet" packet arrived in the mail yesterday. A very nice surprise!! I'm looking forward to our future together. And now... it's time to get back to the studio and create art!

Hiking each morning through the woods, subtle hints of the approaching change of seasons are visible. Bright red Maple leaves litter the forest floor. Bears are busy foraging to pile on the pounds before winter. This oil on paper clay piece is called Forest Bear. Created on a 6" x 8" cradled board.
