On the radio the announcer said if being quarantined with your family is wearing just remember to be grateful you have a family and then she played. "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins. Bonnie's Mother and child paintings serve as a reminder to hold each moment dear. You will miss th…
Bonnie is at work on a new angel painting. She has a story to tell and is focusing on the details. According to MikeNotJerry from Jerry's Artarama now is the time for us to thrive. We should take this opportunity and tell our story. It is a story that is both personal and universal and according…
Missing my art community. These painting were done by Bonnie and the onset of this series is a fun memory. Bonnie shared a painting she was working on in the studio a long while back. It was a beautiful landscape, but she was unhappy with the sky. She wanted something more. I told her abou…
I am a YouTube junkie. I love the new knowledge available...the new techniques. Mary Ann is one of the Gila Pueblo potters stranded in isolation because the of the corona virus. She shared with me and I with you her ventures in learning with YouTube. Had she not told me this is new learnin…

I did fine up to a point, but when it came to joining the two halves I had more of a tom-tom than an orb. I got out my wooden spoon and reverted to old tricks...tricks used by the ancients. I paddled that thing into shape...well sort of. I felt better even if I wasn't as successful as the indigenous potters. It really did help to lift the gray cloud that's been hanging over me.
