Thursdays Time Out For Art…
Copper on a 6″X6″ canvas
For a long while I was into aging everything in sight. I love the look of Copper once it has turned to green, and everything I could get my hands on seemed to have a green patina.
Copper & foil on a 6’X6″ canvas
This little painting I gave to my daughter-in-law for Christmas a couple of years ago. She spends some of her time Running, working out, and practicing Yoga. The symbol is copper, that I worked so hard to get just the right patina on. The figure was foil which I painted. This was truly art from the heart.
Painted Foil & Netting on a 6″X6″ Canvas
This little piece I created along with three or four others with the same tribal motif for my daughter, and her husband for the same Christmas.
That Christmas was a Christmas of art! I don’t usually give away my art, because the family & friends that may be recipients often have different ideas about their kind of art, and then feel obligated to hang my pieces somewhere in their homes. They don’t want to hurt my feelings, I don’t want my feelings to be hurt, and if your family can’t support you, who can……
My art sisters however, all love art for the sake of the creative process, and I can count on them to love whatever I create, and share! Each year at Christmas the five of us draw names, and create something special for whoever’s name I have drawn. Each month we always have a wonderful Diva day together, but Christmas is particularly special because each of us gets to take home a gift of true love for one another, and the creative process!
I feel truly blessed to have my art sisters, and my art friends. Their creative energy is amazing!
My creative process has been inspired lately in part by Zebra Designs & Destinations. I hope you will check out a different kind of art from Zebra, and maybe you to will be inspired.

Dusty and bubbles…
Dusty Bunny
Over Thanksgiving weekend I was able to take a few pictures of Dusty, and Bubbles. They are now the size of a small dog. I’m not talking about a Yorkies or a Chihuahuas, I’m talking a Bichons or a small Cocker Spaniel. These bunnies are big!
What about their ears?
Bubbles 6 months old
While their noses are soft and warm, their ears are soft and velvety. So soft they make you want to curl up with them, and take a nap. No wonder kids love to have a stuffed bunny to hold on to when they are little!
Now that the bunnies are bigger, they aren’t so cuddly, but they do stop, and let you scratch behind their ears. When you scratch their ears, they close their eyes, and you can almost hear them purr.
Bubbles 6 months old
While dusty is about three or four months older, Bubbles is only six months old, and will grow another six to ten months before she is full-grown. she still isn’t quite as big as dusty though.
I have actually seen Giant Flemish Rabbits that were forty or more pounds. Can you even imagine?
Thank you for hopping by to check Dusty and Bubbles out, see you soon…..

Time Out For Art
Cheryl & Karen Utley
I don’t do a lot of photo transfers on canvas, but I thought this one turned out nicely. It’s a picture of my sister Cheryl, and myself when we were kids. I don’t remember the original photo, but I always loved this dirt road buryied deep in San Marcos, Ca. and thought the two pictures together told an interesting story. We are all on a path, and each of us has our own journey to take!
I have always loved this picture!
Todays post was inspired by Zebra Designs, & Destinations, check them out!

The Zoo Continues To Grow!
Megan or “Meg” as she will be called
The evening Sage brought her new pal home she Face Timed me to show me her gecko……. I sat there stunned as she showed me this enormous terrarium that had been set up in her bedroom, along with not just “Crush, the gecko without a tail” but, a friend of Crush’s. Yep, you guessed it. The man at the reptile store offered them a discount for buying two, so being the thrifty shopper that my daughter is (never resisting a deal), and the fabulous little researcher Sage is, they bought two geckos. The poor little gecko without a tail needs a friend don’t you think? That’s what Sage said!
Well, I can tell you that Sage’s parents are pushovers!
