LivingWise: October 2014

Saturday, October 11, 2014

Life and living got in the way of updating my blog. (...and it has been a long long long time) So not to be overwhelmed and entirely intimidated I will start from October 11, 2014 and share our adventure. Tyler (almost age 6), Travis (age 3.5), Dustin, and I walked a mile of river bottom with our eyes on the ground. We sought out arrowheads and animal tracks. All said and done spending time outdoors makes a happy Wise family. We found some flint, scraper, buffalo tooth, broken arrowhead, and a turkey feather.

Can anyone see Tyler?

Guest Artist

Long long ago (over a year) there once was a blog that was updated once a month. Suddenly the posts stopped appearing and Life continued on...Mostly life was consumed with chores, play, and some adventure. Honestly, this last year and half has been a whirlwind of thinking about and creating art. I was given a fabulous opportunity of guest artist at the Yuma County Art Show (Yuma, Colorado). Enthusiastically I dove in head first and begin working the majority with pen and ink. My pieces kept getting larger and larger until the bean sprout sprouted to 32X 40 inches. The Art Show was a success and I feel proud of the product I made. Currently I am taking an fine art break. I never stop being creative but for now sketching and crafting are on the agenda.
