you SEE that?:

Greetings, Art Lovers!
I think it would
be fair to say that we all take pleasure in the moments
when nature wows us in the "holy-cow-that-was-amazingly-beautiful"
sort of manner. This happened to Chris and
I a few days ago when we were walking along the road
in front of our house in the early evening and I happened
to look up and take a quick glance at the horizon and
was immediately struck with awe! So much so that I stopped
dead in my tracks and said to Chris while pointing at
the sky, "LOOK at THAT!" Just beginning to
peak out over the horizon was this crazy-huge orange moon!
Did any of you see it too? We both stood
in the road and stared like mesmerized children witnessing
our first ever magic trick.
And
yet this is sort of funny to me. I think most of us
have seen at least one of these huge red moons rise
over the horizon...and yet we are STILL surprised if
we see one of these again. I am most amazed that nature
holds in her hands the power to stop me dead in my tracks
with some beautiful display like this one. Thank you,
Universe, for sharing your beauty with us and thank
you too that we aren't too busy to notice.
Go,
Be, Do!

Summer
in the air?:
|
|
Depending
upon what part of the country you live in, you may be
feeling some of the same wintry-ugness that we are feeling
here in Northwest Ohio.
I
am soooo ready for warmer temps, sunny skies and the
fresh air of Summer! This of course is what came
to mind while I painted this American Robin yesterday.
He's certainly a happy fella!
"Signs
of Summer-American Robin" is a 5.00 inch by 4.75 inch original
painting on wood, affordably priced at only $38.50!
Ready to add artistic flair to any work,
play
or home space.

007 Inspired Art?
|
|
Original
paintings are in
and of themselves mostly
cool, and the inspiration for
new creations can come from
just about anywhere. This new
piece was inspired by
none other than James
Bond and all those crazy-wild
opening credit sequences
we've all seen while watching 007
movies. As a sidebar, I discovered
that the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art hosted an
exhibition of images from the
opening sequences of over twenty James
Bond films produced. (click
here to learn more)
This
colorful abstract painting titled
"Essence"
is fresh out of Rachel's art
studio!
6.75
inches by 6.25 inches this piece
would make a fabulous artistic
addition to your work space
or home collection!

Owls...who,
who?
|
|
Let's face it...owls are cool! They're like "the Fonz" of the bird
world. Well respected in nature (probably because they can do some
serious damage to rodents and other birds) these mysterious birds are
worth researching.
Every heard an owl in the wild with your own ears? Click
and Take a listen
where you can hear some pretty neato sound bites of the Great
Horned Owl, the Barred Owl and the Eastern Screech Owl.

story.

I don't want to bore you with anything you might not
really be interested in...I'm just gonna link to it
