Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

Here’s the thing - Trump blaming a staffer for a wildly racist post might hit a little different if his official government DHS/DOL feeds weren’t posting a steady drumbeat of white supremacist messaging all day every day

Campsis radicans aka Trumpet Vine featured in this artwork 🌺 A gorgeous native vine 🌿 in the art studio lately

I finally posted them! I was having too much fun and forgot to post sooner…😂❄️

I love nighttime snow photos.

Today I need to get more pics of the pond. It’s currently very sparkly! Hopefully I get out there fast enough to capture it.

Snowww❄️❄️❄️

I’d love that!

That’s wonderful. We need more places like it. There’s just something so special about a place that has diversity of plantings, a lushness that’s unforgettable, and places for wildlife to retreat to.

You know that feeling when you’re surrounded by nature…but not flat one-dimensional nature…but instead a lush and layered one? A nature and sense of place that beckons both humans and wildlife to come and discover its little mysteries?

Thank you!😊

Ijams is in Knoxville, Tennessee.

My art is up at Ijams Nature Center, and I hope you get a chance to go see it before the show is over. The work will be up most of January, but don’t wait until the last minute or you might miss it. Thanks to those who have already gone to see them. It means a lot to me.🥰

Thanks!! It’s oil.✨

Work in progress of my painting titled “Passion.”

Imagine that every night when you go to sleep that the covers are your chrysalis. In the morning, each morning, you wake up as a butterfly, because every day is a new opportunity for life.✨🦋 Your wings may be tattered, your body may be damp, your spine may hurt, but you’re still breathing. #imagine

I got me some new plant babies this past weekend. Last photo is for height reference.🌿 Small Anise Tree ~ Illicium parviflorum ~ Got them at Overhill Gardens in Vonore, TN.❤️
