Nurture Your Nature: A Wild Love for the World

by Laura&Tina, in category Essays, Interviews, Laura's Art, Mindfulness, Podcast

Dear Tina, How are you my friend? I have been craving some “soulful” listening while I am painting and came across this interview Krista Tippett shared from On Being with Joanna Macy, a philosopher of Ecology. I have never known or heard of this as a profession and I loved the idea of it. I was reminded… Read More

Nurture Your Nature: What do Artists Do All Day?

by Laura&Tina, in category Inspiration, Laura's Art, Nurture Your Nature

Hello Sweet T, How are you? Thank you for sharing Mary Oliver’s poem with me. The graphic you made is so sweet!  The poetry reminded me of the first collaborative piece of art we ever exhibited. It was inspired by Rumi’s poem, The Waterwheel, remember? I love how we were discovering our sense of place and connection to the landscape in that… Read More

Nurture Your Nature: Poets Who Take My Breath Away

by Laura&Tina, in category Nurture Your Nature

Dear Laura, I have been thinking about the poets who take my breath away with words.  I will often have to reread those juicy ones over and over again.  The poets I tend to respond to are writing about the natural world.  Mary Oliver is who I will quote in this letter, but another fantastic poet… Read More

Nurture Your Nature: Is a Tree Good For Your Health?

by Laura&Tina, in category Nurture Your Nature, Tina's Art

Yes! Dear Laura, I was inspired by your recent post and the THIRST project. It is ironic that this project developed because of the extreme drought and now it is extreme flooding…..climate change? At any rate, paying closer attention to nature and our human impact is undeniable.  I did a little digging about trees and… Read More

Vision 120: Magnolia Tree & Spirals

by Laura&Tina, in category Collaborative Art, Nurture Your Nature, Vision/ReVision

“He who plants a tree Plants a hope.” ~Lucy Larcom Dear Tina, I chose this beautiful magnolia flower for ReVision 120. It’s easy to see from my last Vision how long and harsh my Connecticut winter was this past year.  It affected a lot of plants in my garden but the most heartbreaking of all were… 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

Dear Laura, I haven’t written a ‘working table’ post in awhile, but that is a part of what I will be doing more of this year.  I have spent the last six weeks reading and researching with some moments of drawing in between.  I needed some room to think for awhile to decide which direction… Read More

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 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.
