art – Poetry & More

Light box

A long time ago, the office I worked in had a light table. I never had an occasion to use the light table as it was meant to be used. It was more of a table. An extra desk. As I’ve gotten more and more into art and drawing; there have been times a lightContinue reading “Light box”

Pour art 2

I did another pour art project and I hated it.

A Field Guide to Getting Lost

I was gifted a copy of Rebecca Solnit’s – A Field Guide to Getting Lost. Not far into the book she uses a quote, “How will you go about finding that thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?” (Plato) Try as I might, I couldn’t find this in audio form that wasContinue reading “A Field Guide to Getting Lost”

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? The craft thoughts are flowing! Typically, I don’t get caught up in Valentine’s Day. The story that I’m working on, Winter Season https://byjolenerice.wordpress.com/2023/09/24/winter-season-2/ page 1, I’m trying to time for Valentine’s Day. My original thought was to paint the heart, inContinue reading “The depth of love, part 1”

Oh Deer

One day, on a shopping trip to IKEA, I saw this print. So I decided I can do that. Boredom does strange things to me. As you can most like tell from my blog posts. Filling this time with something that won’t get me fired or cause me to gain 40 pounds can be ……Continue reading “Oh Deer”
