Happy New Year

So begins Chinese New Year! 

The year of the rabbit.

 When I lived in Honolulu I remember hearing the firecrackers going off all night to scare away the bad spirits. I hope there are no bad spirits in your new year!

Winter

I love to se the Nandina loaded with red berries just in time for winter.

 

Color of the Week

Thankful for the color YELLOW !

 

The Most Colorful Holiday

Mexico has given us a lively, colorful holiday to celebrate the dead. 

Every November Tulsa has been celebrating this day with music, dance, blessings & altars with marigolds & sugar skulls, for 20 + years.

I go to see the altars that honor loved ones; they are imaginative & the colors make me happy!

Did you see this?

 Today is National Color the World Orange Day! Artist Kalup Linzy has done a great job of giving us an orange world.

 I love collage, and Kalup has combined collage with acrylic paint to picture a world that dreams are made of.

At the Price Tower

 I walked into the Price Tower gallery at just the right time, and was blessed with a brief chat with artist Monte Toon.

Monte is an Oklahoma watercolorist, and his retrospective display will be on exhibit until November 18. And he'll be teaching a workshop at the Bartlesville Art Association in November. Check it out: Bartlesvilleartassociation.org
