Textures in Nature and Art
I love the word ‘textures’ – say it slowly and you can hear its rich sound and even see its meaning in your mind’s eye. Nature, like life itself, is textured and nuanced. Not only smooth, but sometimes rough, not merely soft but also… Continue Reading “Textures in Nature and Art”

Windshield Art – Frosty Squares
This morning when I started my car, I saw lovely ice crystals on the windshield of varying shapes and sizes. These are extraordinary, I thought to myself, all the while realizing how very ordinary, they were. Works of art, I thought, so I explored… Continue Reading “Windshield Art – Frosty Squares”

Chihuly Bridge of Glass and Union Station
Wow, who knew?? Yesterday we went to the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma, but I’ll save that museum for another post.
