Tending a small garden and gathering seeds



I am tending a small garden and gathering seeds.

I haven't blogged for years. But I've written and painted off line.

Here is a glimpse of a thing I'm doing.

I made these seven paintings over the last seven months. Each month's piece relates to what was on my mind/heart during that time period. Then each piece of art (and a new song I write that relates to it) is added to a larger piece. This piece grows over time. The first one which was completed over a year ago has nine panels. The one you see here is still in process. A few pieces in this collection include collaborative elements, a new development which I am thankful for.

The lower image is included in the larger context of the upper image. Each painting a row in a raised bed slowly filling with plants.

I've needed this structure to keep creating, digging, and (in a small way) sharing. I'm thankful for friends who joined my Patreon group and stuck with me as I found a way to sustainably make and share art and music in this phase of life.
