Hi There!

Well, it certainly was a productive week in Portland. The highlight was spending a couple of days in Sharron’s studio and being introduced to encaustic (“hot wax painting”). These are my first three pieces and I hope there will be many more to come, as soon as I can clear out a studio space in the house!

A fellow blogger recently invited her readers to submit who they are most grateful for in their lives, and she would reward their submission with some of her art.

I wasn’t able to submit on time, but it made me think about one person in particular, for whom I am so very grateful. (And I’ve been rewarded by art & beauty in abundance) It’s my mother, Sharron Huffman. In short (because I don’t want to embarrass her too much!) I am grateful for these fundamental qualities and values that she raised me with:

• an open heart and home
• good hospitality
• creativity
• humor, wit, and laughter
• curiousity
• grit and tenacity
• a willingess to trust the world, the Universe, and to go with the flow
• adventurousness
• self-sufficiency balanced with a strong community network

Sharron has a fresh new website featuring her gorgeous artwork, a variety of nature printing, gyotaku and encaustic. Check her out!
