the quiet of a morning walk...
Speaking of that We Are Artists thing...
A while back, we put a set of Japanese gouache watercolors on the table that's right inside the back door. Where we can see them as we go in & out. Turns out that every morning after Fia comes in from her walk on Sandy Neck Beach, she makes coffee & sits down & paints her impressions of the day on wood blocks...
Which is why we call them the morning walk watercolors...
Delicate watercolor washes that feel like a landscape seen through morning fog. On both the original wood blocks & a few art prints on a special German etching paper with deckled edges on all four sides. (You can see a little bit of how they look over there on the left, with the new story 'choose yourself'.)
If you haven't seen them yet, it's worth dropping by. If only for a moment of quiet before your day begins. Much like a morning walk of your own...

the unexpected gifts...:-) We run into this every year: little things we want to gift, unexpectedly... This year there's the now & then UPS backup driver, neighbors who already told us to keep an eye out for a holiday party invite & the giant St. Bernard next door who regularly exchanges barks with Yoshi... There are so many reasons to send along a card or a little something extra to people this time of year - to say thank you, we're thinking of you, or hang in there... the tricky thing is...
