On a Gravel Road refers again to my time spent at Osage Arts Community.
During that residency, I often walked the 1-mile gravel road (Eagle Lane) from the Fibers Studio to
the Gasconade River – an incredibly meditative and wonderful experience that did give me a new perspective.
What a difference that one mile made!
On my very first walk on Eagle Lane, I fed rabbits and ducks, pet chickens, caught sight of deer, studied wildflowers, and observed cows and horses.
(You can see photos from one of my walks along Eagle Lane here.)
It’s also time to check in on my lofty goal I set for 2012 of making 1 painting a week …
In 2012 I created 50 paintings!
What I learned from this goal in 2011, I found out again in 2012 – that deadlines make all the difference for me!
Below are images of some of the new paintings I created in 2012.
(I added confetti and candles to celebrate!)
