Christmas Cookies

Having a 4 year old in the kitchen is a bit like cooking with a monkey (at least our 4 year old). None the less, we are making memories along with our mess. Good time (and sugar high) was had by all.

My Laboratory of sorts

Here is a page from my "decorative arts" journal. It's not really what I'm after, but I think this is a process...


What am I after? I want to know more about movements and people who have set about with a vision for making domestic life aesthetic.  That might include William Morris, the Arts and Crafts movement, Frank Lloyd Wright... to name the tip of the ice berg. 


So how to present these objects, gardens and houses by capturing their essence without being too literal? That is my goal. My ultimate hope is that I develop something that others like to look at too. Then what?... one step at a time.


Thanks for tuning in. I hope the drawings and paintings will be a mix of personal and lovely.
