Do you need a little LOVe?

by Laura&Tina, in category Laura's Art, Working Table

Hello Sweet T & friends, How are you? I am doing okay. I spent yesterday afternoon in the studio working on a series of cards. I painted old book pages to loosen up and experiment with the new neon pink & magenta paints I am currently obsessed with right now, I then used it to create the… Read More

Working Table (laura): Awakening to Winter’s Rhythm

by Laura&Tina, in category Laura's Art, Working Table

Dear Tina, Everything is covered in sparkly white up here. We had a big snowstorm which made everything magical. I am learning to welcome winter’s rhythm although I would take a beach day over the snow anytime. Things slow down around here and people don’t seem to go out as much. Do you remember those… Read More

by Laura&Tina, in category Inspiration, Laura's Art, One Little Word

Dear Tina, I was glad you wanted to continue the one little word project and appreciate your honesty with last years word (you totally cracked me up in your last letter by the way). I really love your new word breathe and I am glad it is resonating with you. I may look into getting one of Liz Lamoreux’s bracelets with my word on it. It… Read More

Open Studio 2014: behind the scenes sneak peek

by Laura&Tina, in category Laura's Art, Resources, Working Table

Hello Sweet T, How are you? I started to write you a whole slew of times but when I finally sat down to finish my thoughts, they were a jumble, sending me off in too many directions (hard to believe I know! ha!). Too much going on in this head of mine so I will… Read More

my best Self & being a rotten meditator

by Laura&Tina, in category Working Table

Dear Tina, How are you? I am slowly finding my way back to a routine. Yesterday morning I picked a book off my bookshelf by SARK called, “Change Your Life Without Getting out of Bed.” I  like this idea.

ReVision 117: gratitude for nature’s gifts

by Laura&Tina, in category Laura's Art, Vision/ReVision, Working Table

Hello Sweet T How are you? I finished ReVision 117 and decided to go with the smaller paintings. I felt like I needed more time with the other paintings I shared in my last letter. Our work opens up new ideas for me and it often takes time to process them. The weather has been amazingly… Read More

ReVision 117: What I See & What I Feel

by Laura&Tina, in category Laura's Art, Vision/ReVision, Working Table

Hello Sweet T, How are you? Thank you for reminding me of Parker Palmer in your last letter. I think we could talk for days about his essay, “We Teach Who We Are”. I had never read it and still need to digest the last two sections. There is a lot to think about. This introspection of… Read More

ReVision 116: colorful tomatoes & tending to what matters

by Laura&Tina, in category Laura's Art, Vision/ReVision, Working Table

Dear Tina, I loved seeing your ReVision 116. You cracked me up with your “homage to the moth”. Poor little guy…I like the way you incorporated the patterns from his wings in you’re drawing. I think this new format of going bigger is working out great! We will be able to stretch ourselves in ways… Read More

by Laura&Tina, in category Working Table

Hello Sweet T, How are you? It was a delight seeing how your ReVision 115 came together.

silence is my teacher…

by Laura&Tina, in category Essays, Laura's Art

Dear Tina, While journaling this morning I found myself writing about things I hadn’t thought about in years. I wonder why some memories come back to us and others don’t. Do you ever think about that? Anyway my mind wandered back to when I was teaching at DCS. Often times after introducing my art lesson… Read More
