  7. The smell of wood smoke is one of the nicest things about fall … used to heat solely with wood … don’t any more …. the smell of the wood smoke is what I miss … that and lower electricity bills.

  9. oceannah – I'm a lover of Earth Mother, giver of life. My organic homestead in the mountains of NY state is a place of constant learning. My people skills are better than my computer skills. Swimming in the briny blue ocean brings me deep joy.

  11. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

    I’m totally secure with the idea of being snowed…….I have my wood stacked and covered and a larder building.

  20. blueflintct – A student keen to see the world, even if that just means exploring my own city and country, Cape Town, South Africa. I love nature and being outside. Animals and the ocean get me excited and there's nothing better than driving around seeing beautiful things and capturing them on (digital) film.
