Stave Church, Norway
Rendering of a Norwegian 'stave church' (for the Architecdoodlez
Wednesday art challenge on Twitter).
The oldest preserved wooden churches in Christianity, there were reportedly 1300 in existence, of which only 28 now remain. (Bucket list is to actually visit one of these in person someday).

Quick burst 💥 of creativity before heading into another day at the office. #acrylic paint, colored pencils, colored markers, gel pen, ink … little bit of everything.

Lost Between The Shelves
My favorite place growing up in Hickory, NC was the Elbert Ivey Memorial Library. When I got to the age where I could walk into town on my own unattended by an adult, my mom would let me spend afternoons at the library on my own, after we were done home-schooling for the day.
I made so many discoveries there -- of authors and books I still read and treasure today.
It was there that I first encountered Ray Bradbury ("The Martian Chronicles"), Brian Herbert ("Dune"), Orson Scott Card ("Ender's Game") and Douglas Adams ("Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy").
It was also there that I also discovered real, genuine FEAR -- by way of an anthology of scary stories for children, and ABOUT children ("Young Monsters" edited by Isaac Asimov); and it was there that, barely a teen, I dared picked up Stephen King's "Night Shift" and scared myself out of my wits -- and promptly returned the following day for more.
So many fond memories of those days, spending endless summer afternoons, lost in the shelves.
This piece is a tribute to all the bookstores and libraries around the world, but most of all to that one in particular.

Kew Gardens Community Arts Day 2022
- selling enough to pay the fee for my space (and then some!)
- ALL of my 4”x6” postcard prints were a hit, and it was truly a thrill to see WHICH cards appealed to whom. I have received requests for others, so more will be coming. And also exploring means to make them available for purchase online.
- Selling four of my small paintings — and some were chosen that I honestly didn’t expect to be (again, both delighted and fascinated by others’ taste)
- Hanging out with fellow neighborhood artists, watching each other’s tables and talking tips and techniques
Lastly, having someone return to my table towards the end of the day and inform me she had walked around the entire fair and decided to come back, because one particular piece of mine “really spoke to her, and gave her HOPE” and she just HAD to get it …
