DOESN'T THE WORLD FEEL SMALLER?



NOWADAYS, IF ONE STATE HICCUPS, WE ALL HICCUP.  IF ONE COUNTRY COUGHS, WE ALL COUGH.  TO QUOTE A WISE WOMAN "WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER".  THE WORLD IS GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER.  SO, IN KEEPING WITH THAT THOUGHT, BOTH PIECES BELOW, ARE ONCE AGAIN SMALL.  :)



'SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING'
4 x 4" Acrylic on Canvas




'IT LOOKS COLD'
4 x 4" Acrylic on textured canvas


BOTH OF THE ABOVE PIECES CAN BE FOUND  HERE






 If you receive my Newsletter you already know about the new 'Ajo Artisans' website. Ajo is a very Artsy place and several Artsy folks here (I was not one of them) put together this website to showcase the local work.  There are still more Artisans yet to come on, but please go have a look at those that have already joined.  I think you will enjoy what you see, and if you have a moment to share the site with friends and family, that would be appreciated.








This is an old abandoned house across the street from us.  The owners are gone for the summer but, in the fall when they return, the plan is for this old piece of Ajo history to be torn down.  We had (another) spectacular Ajo sunset last week and I caught it just at the perfect moment as it momentarily brought this old place back to life.

JUST LIVING IS NOT ENOUGH ...


YOU HAVE TO STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS ...


'JUST ONE OF THOSE MEMORIES'



'GYPSY SPRING'




'COMBINED THOUGHTS'


I am down in Arizona and it has been unusually cold (and rainy) for this time of year.  Not complaining though, compared to Idaho we are in the midst of a heat wave here.  But, all this rain and the cold nights are destined to bring out what's called the 'Super Blooms' in the Spring.  That means Lots and Lots of desert flowers!  There are always desert flowers, but when you have weather like this it brings them out in abundance.  I'll keep you posted.  :)

All of the above are 6 x 6 Acrylic
and can be found on my website

I enjoy exploring old, abandoned buildings.  These are just off the highway heading towards Gila Bend.  I always wonder about the 'story' behind such places.  Who lived here?  Whose dream was this?  



I like the lines of this one.

 
Looking through the window of what is left of an old stone home to remnants of a storage shed (where I found the boot below).

I love this one.  You never know who lurks in the shadows!


And, at some point there was a child ...

And then, there's just rust.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

By the way,
Happy New Year Everyone!
