Fall is my favorite season.
I'm reading Sue Bender's Everyday Sacred and mulling over this idea, gleaned from it's pages: Do more of less.
Hope your week is off to a great start!
Thanks for stopping by. :)

"Do more of less" sounds like a great quote for me to hold by. Thanks. I love these monoprints - colours and shapes reminding me of sunflower yellows, leaf fade, seed heads. Gorgeous.
Gloria,
'Do more of less' is a good mantra and I think it's one I should sign up to. Love the graphic element in your monoprints, especially the first one with the screen print. Great colours as ever. Lesley
Do more of less...sounds like a pipe dream when one has a to-do list as long as one's arm. sigh. but something to aspire to i suppose! it was fun to be reminded of adelaide's...love that place!
thanks Annie! And I just read some of your beautiful words on A Handful of Stones.
Looking forward to reading more of your poetry.
Hi Lesley, I am really mulling this mantra over with respect to my various art interests. So many interests and so little time...Thanks for your comments. Gloria
Hi Betsy, Yes, I know your list must be a mile long, but the depth of your printmaking portfolio exemplifies the idea of "more of less"...i.e., more focus, less distraction. I admire that about your work. Thanks for commenting!
hi there Gloria !
Love your screenprint and monotypies
Thanks Liv, So nice to hear from you! Best...
Hi Gloria. This concept of focusing on one thing, and following it further an be a good thing. But sometimes following a broad set of interests and techniques leads you to new places too. Beautiful prints.
Hmm,sounds like a good book to pick up at the library- love your monoprints- always inspiring to stop by here-take care-xx
Great color in your prints. They're so crisp. I love that blue--such a fall feeling. A nice little set of pictures all in a row. and a pleasure to look at!
Thanks so much for your kind words Annamaria and Susan! Yes, this book is good. Very short morsels of wisdom written by Sue Bender, a graphic artist from Berkeley, CA, when she was approximately 60. Her earlier book, "Plain and Simple" chronicled her sojourn among the Amish. I first read it years ago, and need to read it again. Susan, your photo stories are always fabulous!! Love seeing your part of our world!
