Rare is it that I’m not writing about sculpture here on the blog but when I saw Jonathan Delafield Cook’s charcoal drawings I was blown away. When I saw their scale I was even more impressed! The above is from his Nest series and is 78×82 centimeters – that’s huge! And it’s all charcoal. Some […]

I could show all of them as they’re so simply beautiful with the white background and the personalities of the animals really coming through. […]

In my post on Lonny Photo I referenced the head-on cow face oil painting in my foyer. I realized I should include all I know about Roz, the South Texas-based artist of the store RozArt, who made my little cow, below, as a custom order for me. Roz is a single mother of three, who, […]

I’ve stated before how much I love Rubie Green and think that the founder, Michelle Adams, is an inspiration to young, crafty women out there everywhere. I still need to post about her new line of bedding but right now I’m really taken with the photography she and her photographer pal, Patrick Cline are selling […]

When I lived in Telluride a few years ago I worked at the Ah Haa School for the Arts. In the summer the school runs an annual Art Auction, its biggest fundraiser of the year. There are lots of amazing artists and incredible people in that town – its scenery, terrain and atmosphere bring in […]
