Daytrippin' In Athens County.

Rocky Point.

You can totally see how it got the name.  And if you squint and pull the photo in you can see a little waterfall.

Its little, right in the middle of the black shadow area.

And the rocks look like faces from Planet of the Apes.  Its fun discovering these places around the county roads, and nobody knows these county roads like my hubby.  I'm so fortunate that he lets me tag along on these adventures. Remember our Skull Rock Halloween date!??!  I posted it several Halloweens ago.

Circus Light PopUp Show and A StarBrick Report.

The Majestic Annex, enter here...

Innocent spectators:

Not-so innocent spectators:

The lady on the left stole my art show with her crazy-good cheeseball.  STOLE it, right out from under me!

She gave me the recipe and I'll post it soon.  Very very soon.

Meanwhile, looking across the street, I just had to share this tree/building combo. Its so pretty right now with the tree blooming against the taupe building.  And these photos don't do it justice, I'm going to get a good picture of it when I go back. The conditions weren't right, but I took these anyhow.

Two doors down, walking into Starbrick Gallery is a real treat.  The show is stunning.   Simply stunning.

Then when you go back into the shop, you'll never know what you'll find.

This is what you think it is.

See.

There's a lot to see inside this gallery.  A lot.  Every time you go in its a visual feast.  And its constantly evolving.  You'll see something different every visit.

Phish Dish.

A little unglazed ceramic dish had been floating around in my life for a long while.    Well no more.

Yesterday, its time came.


I used that Pebeo Porcelain paint.  Let me tell you what, you don't even try to control that stuff.

Control or no control, it sure is pretty paint.

Those little silver dots are spatter from a metallic pen.  Then I gave it a nice thick epoxy coating.

There, I've had my fun with it.  Now off it goes to the gallery for someone else to have a turn.

Two Holes and a Brass Wire.

10x10.  Mixed Media on slate.

She got tired so she took a nap.

The world continues on as she sleeps.

Its all happening down here, even during nap time.

She doesn't even hear the busy little city.

Let this be a good reminder to get enough sleep, its very important.

When you make a painting on slate, hanging it is always the challenge.  I went with simplicity-two holes and a brass wire.
