2011.085 "Color Spectrum Island"

In a part of the sea far from any humans lies an island so colorful every shade in the color spectrum is represented.

I spent several hours more than usual on this one. The past few days have been so chilly and overcast that I find myself really longing for warm sunshine and all the beauty of new life that comes in the spring.

2011.080 "Sink or Swim I'm Divin In"

I remember a Steven Curtis Chapman song called "Dive" that always makes my feet tap wildly and my heart dance at the thought of taking a leap into a fantastic adventure.

Here are some of the lyrics:

The long awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
And carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found
And like the rain I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah
My heart is racing and my knees are weak as I walk to the edge
I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice that's telling me it's time to take the leap of faith
So here I go

I'm diving in, I'm going deep
In over my head I wanna be
Caught in the rush, lost in the flow
In over my head I want to go
The river's deep, the river's wide
The river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in

Today's piece is about diving in. Taking a cue from SCC here it is. I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge!

2011.079 "Deep Blue Topography"

My Dad used to have a ton of topographical maps of Colorado. I think he used them for planning backcountry hiking trips. I loved to look at them and even found them easier to understand than flat maps.

Today's blog piece reminds me of those topographical maps.

2011.078 "Atomic Butterflies"

Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey (with a silent H) are two of the most incredible people I've ever met in my 40 years on this earth. Actually they're both PhDs so would it be Dr. and Mrs. Humphrey...or perhaps Dr. and Mrs. Dr.? Or maybe just THE INCREDIBLE DOCTORS HUMPHREY - WITH A SILENT H.

They allowed us to call them simply Joe and Jackie but by the end of the week my kids were all calling them Grandpa and Grandma. I love these people like family.

Mrs. Jackie - the beautiful and talented Dr. J - loves butterflies. Today's blog piece is a little tribute to her.

My youngest son walked up behind me as I was working on this and exclaimed "Mom, that looks like an exuhray of a big ice cube!"  I saw it as soon as he said it and the name stuck. Thanks Teej!

2011.076 "Shootin the Latte Curl"

Back from my hiatus and way behind on posting!

While visiting my future home of York, Nebraska I had to privelege of enjoying delicious coffee drinks at the mere push of a button 24 hours a day. Yes, I was wired. All the time. Ha ha.

Today's piece is a two-tone tribute to coffee, coffee, coffee!

#3 of the Diminutive series. As this one was coming together it made me think of my friend Lee Shiney. Lee is a wonderful artist and someone who has been tremendously supportive of me as I began this journey of sharing my creations.

2011.070 "Frequency Burst" (ds#1)

I've got another series I'm in the process of posting. These are very small prints coming in at 2 inches square. You'll notice a recurring color theme in this series. My thinking was these would make a neat wall group.

This series is called Diminutive and here is #1 - "Frequency Burst". I am posting these much larger than actual size so you can see the detail in each.

2011.065 "Kaffe Kaliedoscopes #1"

Hi, yes..I'm still here and still making at least one little piece of digital art every day. I'm behind at posting though so get ready for a whirlwind of excitement. :o)

As you all know Thursday last was my 40th birthday. I intended to enjoy the evening with a handful of friends and be back to the regular agenda Friday morning. Little did I know that my daughter Lori had been conspiring with friends for an epic birthday surprise I will never forget!

With my super cool pal J in town there is no such thing as a regular agenda. There's coffee, girl chat, more coffee, giggling, more coffee, heart to hearts and happy tears. Oh yeah, and more coffee!

This one plus the next four posts are a mini-series I've dubbed the Kaffe Kaliedoscopes. The image of the day will be first - a kaliedoscope made from a photo of one of our many caffienated adventures. I'll post the original photo below each kaliedoscope.

Pass the cream and sugar!
