Rennaisance 2012

I took a whirl through Phipps Conservatory over the holidays and thought you might like to join me in a brief pictorial tour. The Rain Forest was still on display, juxtaposed against pointsettas and sparkly Christmas Trees.

Rain Forest Art



Walk with me & tour the Rain Forest

It's kinda an end of the year tradition for me. I like to go through drawers, closets, and filing cabinets... cleaning, organizing, and tossing out items. It's a good feeling for me and sometimes I even make really good discoveries. Usually about long forgotten treasures that were stowed away in a forgotten place.I guess it sets the right frame of mind for me in order to usher in new beginnings. A time to take inventory perhaps, just like the stores do. Assess what you wish to hold onto in the hopes that it prospers or maybe you wish to discard something because it is taking up precious space or no longer holds any promise.

I also do that resolution thing I guess. But this time with a twist...They are a blend of the serious, quirky, and wistful. 

Holidays at Phipps Conservatory



1. Find and interview a garden nymph about their experiences as a tiny creature living in nature. Will make a great blog post.
2. Capture and bottle the essence of laughter, bliss, friendship, and love.
3. Fall into the income bracket when I have to pay the IRS taxes on my Art sales.
4. Particpate in "Affair in the Park"  or maybe in "Art All Night" (both local art festivals).
5. Be kind and soothe the aching soul.
6. Paint a symphony.
7. Nourish the spirit.
8. Move into my new imaginary third floor loft art studio.
9. Go green greener.
10. Of course, no list would be complete without achieving World Peace or finding a cure for cancer.

Bloomin' Christmas

Beary Merry New Year!!!
