T is for tea
It’s Wordless Wednesday, and this blog post is going to be as close to wordless as possible. I made tea and it went into this cup. Then I painted its portrait. So portrait of Tea.
S is for swimming
The ducks’ journey It was an overcast day when my friend Debbie and I decided to visit the Japanese Gardens behind the Buffalo History Museum. And that visit was the subject of yesterday’s reflection. Today, it’s more about observation than reflection. Observation of two ducks out for a swim. One thing that I noticed about
R is for reflection
The Japanese Gardens behind the Buffalo History Museum are beautiful. They are a peaceful place to reflect on anything that is in your heart or to sit down and make a painting or to take photographs. The gardens are a gift from Buffalo’s sister city, Kanazawa, Japan. Kanazawa is well-known for its beautiful and radiant

Q is for questions and quests
It’s Day fifty-six of the 100-day art challenge, and it’s week sixteen of Inktober 52. This week’s prompt is vista, and there was a stipulation to draw in black and white. No color, just ink.

P is for poetry
April is National Poetry Month, which I didn’t know until I started reading Vidya Tiru’s postings for the two blogging challenges that we are both participating in.

Mass production???
Well, not exactly. Yes, I have painted a whole bunch of eggs, and I am excited about continuing the egg painting process, but I am not mass producing them. I have to paint more because I’ve given away most of the eggs that I’ve already painted and it’s not Easter yet. Today, I painted three

Labels are for jars, not people
That’s not original to me. I heard it somewhere. Mostly, it has to do with challenging the idea that people with intellectual disabilities are somewhat less than the rest of us. In the past, many of them were stuck in large institutions, where they were warehoused, rather than educated. But it gets worse than that.

K is for kings and queens of the sky
I was going to write this blog post yesterday but, after a circuit training class and walking 6.2 miles (9.97 km), I was really tired and I decided to let it go for the day. Which meant that today is the day for the kings and queens of the sky. Which are, of course, birds.
