Welcome to our Thursday art\/life trail ride…I’m so glad that we’re exploring this creative terrain together. This week we visit my favorite studio…that created by our Mother Nature. My joy and appreciation of time out in the open air began early on and is now expanding with my new studio on my fifty acre ‘off the grid’ retreat\/tree farm…more about that in an upcoming post.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0Me growing up with a favorite tree. 1959<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was a little girl I couldn\u2019t get enough of being outdoors or of learning. After a day at John Muir Elementary School I\u2019d run the \u00be mile home, change clothes, bolt down the stairs,\u00a0dart\u00a04 houses up\u00a0the street to Dale Ruby\u2019s and set up make-shift cardboard box desks in the back corner of his family garage. Paper and pencil in place\u00a0I\u2019d gather the other kids\u00a0and we would draw\u00a0for an hour or two. We were in our own world until\u00a0mom opened the kitchen door, stepped out onto the blacktopped driveway, puffed her cheeks and sent her \u2018come to dinner\u2019 whistle drifting down the sidewalk.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Today\u00a0I’m celebrating many summers of hangin’ with the young artists\u00a0at the Virginia Museum of\u00a0Contemporary Art<\/a>…such great adventures we have!<\/span><\/h4>\n

A Child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision…for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.
