Trying to walk at least 20 minutes every day, rain or shine. Rain today. This morning I found that someone had tucked a couple buckeyes behind the Buddha statue on the edge of town. Taking the time to get out into the air, breathe, and observe often overlooked details helps settle my nervous system.

Small concrete statue of Buddha surround by stines, rocks, cairns, and plants. There’s a little stone in their lap with a small heart painted on it, and another stone at the base with the word “love”. Tucked among it all are two little buckeyes or horse chestnuts.

Last night I couldn’t quiet my brain. Too distracted to read, too tired to dig into a complicated project, and not particularly compelled to wash the dinner dishes. I could’ve scrolled or turned on the tv. But instead, I colored. Thank you, Maybell! @summersdalebooks.bsky.social

A page in The Little Frog Coloring Book: A Relaxing, Mindful Journey of Color and Creativity by Maybell Eequay, published by Summersdale Publishers in London. We see an illustration of a frog, wearing chunky thigh-high boots qnd a mushroom cap for a hat, pinwheeling through a background of stars and butterflies. The boots have a pattern of little hearts on them. The illustration is partially colored by me with a few Faber-Castell Polychromos.

#artmaking has its challenges and sometimes you don’t get much done. We should always enjoy our triumphs though, when things don’t go our way. Here I am replacing a stock #planter for the shop. #art #concrete #sculpture

I’ve been using medical exam paper like a towel for cleaning up paint and dabbing surfaces to end up with even more future collage fodder! #artsky #paint #medicalexampaper #acrylic

When I saw Emma’s post the other day, I was certain I hadn’t seen a conker in years. And then yesterday I found this 🤎 Isn’t it amazing how humans can have a positive effect on one another in these seemingly magical ways?

My hand holding two conkers (aka horse chestnuts). One is completely enclosed in a very spiky brown shell, and the other has been cracked open, revealing a fresh seed.

Rainy festival! The community showed up with hand-warmers, extra tarps, extra weights for the tent legs, and hot herbal tea 🖤 #noreaster #northquabbin #garlicandarts #newengland
