Imagine yourself in a castle in the sky Where polka dot rabbits know how to fly You can be anywhere you want to be Your imagination will set you free Imagine! A special place Imagine! Flying through space Imagine this Imagine that Imagine you're a dragon or a kooky cat Imagine you're the singer in a rock n' roll band Imagine you're a knight in a far off land Imagine you're a fish in the deep blue sea Or a bird at the top of a giant tree Imagine! Flying a plane Imagine! Driving a train Imagine here Imagine there Imagine you're a monster with crazy hair Imagine yourself as a tiny ant Or in the forest as a rubber plant Imagine you're a horse that knows how to ski Or flying on the back of a buzzy bee You can go anywhere you want to go You can meet anyone you want to know You can be anything you want to be Your imagination will set you free Your imagination will set you free Join us this fall...and set your imagination free...              Email: artis@art-is-you.com Web: art-is-you.com Lyrics by the wonderfully imaginative Bob Doyle

The End of Summer...

I can't believe that the summer is quickly coming to an end and soon Autumn will be upon us.  Autumn is one of my favorite seasons...it is so beautiful here and cooler. 

But Summer offers its awesome beauty too and here are a few images of some of my favorite flowers....

Art Unraveled - Vending

I know that many of you who travel to various art retreats find that vending night is as magical as I do. 

For us we have fun setting up our vending table and then we get to walk around to see all of the beautiful art and fun and funky vintage finds that are being offered for sale.

Here are a few shots of our table, which included vintage finds and original art by yours truly, at Art Unraveled in Phoenix this year...

Moving Forward

After all of the travels of the past month this has been a restful weekend for us. 

Suitcases have been unpacked, supplies are back in the studio and our furry babies are all home safe & sound. 

As always happens on the heels of an artistic journey my muse is in high energy mode and I have already been busily creating at my work table.

Today had me creating in Photoshop....

It's good to be back home, back in the studio and back on my blog.  With everything back to some semblance of normal keep an eye out for my daily posts.
