if you are ever in the area- you have to check out this gallery!

Stop by and check out the Jeanine Taylor Folk Art Gallery. This is the BEST space i have ever seen/shown in. the energy and the art work and the people. *sigh*  just fabulous.

A Walk Through My Wonderland

instead of partaking in my usual schemes, i thought i would take advantage of this year's Mad Tea  to offer a glimpse into my own little *wonderland*; so if you would care and like to indulge, we are off to take a stroll.

Welcome to my *Wonderland*

my *wonderland* is a place that is thick with green wonders, of curious things
and of some i am quite uncertain;

where on the first day of summer, snowballs bloom deep within its thickets.

Where the walls are splattered with polka dots,

and the floors are in tangles of vine and white trumpet.

it is a place where *fairy hats* appear out of nowhere

(seriously. they showed up last year. i still have no idea what they are so, i have

named them *fairy hats*- since that is the only thing that makes sense. to me)

to showcase their own splendor

and offer a resting place for weary travelers.

a place where even the most serious of guardians
have a sense of humor;

and the rocks can't help but show you some love.

a place where grand old trees whisper secrets to the wind

and curiosity gets the better of everyone.

Time is measured by the rust on a wheel

and daisies try to touch the sky.

dragons have breath

chickens stand guard

and all is right with the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if you look closely and believe in your own *wonderland*

i'm sure you will find

a smile lurking off in the distance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

be sure to check out the many wonderful *wonderlands* on your

way to Grand Mad Tea! You can find the guest list over at A Fanciful Twist

and be sure to send greetings to our delightful hostess Vanessa!

Photos of the day.
Feel free to click on them to enlarge.

Friends encountered along the way. Excuse the "grainy"- I am still working on the macro settings- with the fear of getting to close and scaring them off.

Ok- you seriously have to laugh at the expression on this one's face... Classic!

A stow-away- I can't figure out if he is happy- or drunk

Another beautiful day. The waters are starting to get choppy as a storm is brewing up for the night. Perfect timing though, because tomorrow it is time to head up river to Clayton. Time to get some work done- It is the annual River Arts and Wildlife Show.
Have a Wonderful Friday!

Finished. Back to the Studio!

I have successfully completed all but three painting that were started in the studio. That is 6 in two weeks. While I feel like I have accomplished something (especially since three have already been sold), I think either I am suffering from acrylic burnout (hee hee- yeah right!) or my brushes are now nubs - because it looks like it is going to be a sculpting weekend! (yeah!) The arthritis is acting up from this last cold snap - and I need some clay therapy!

It appears that the last of the snow is leaving us (please, please, please) and Spring is officially on its way- Soon it will be time to throw the doors open on the studio and I CAN'T WAIT! ::muaha haa haa::: Party at the studio! Open House! Classes start! Art shows under twinkle lights and a large moon! Long evenings under star filled skies! bonfires and friends- It is going to be a loooong spring/summer! wooooHOoooOOOO!! You ready?!

Hope ta' catch you here :0)
