I have always liked the feathery leaves of fennel. I’ve painted it a few times, and was never really satisfied with the results. But drawing it this way gives me a look I really like. I think this image would be great to add to a quilt. I wonder if there are people who make […]

IS ART MINE? AM I ART? WHO AM I, ANYWAY?
I did an experiment back in the mid-80s. I decided to go on walkabout – or, since I’d be living in my truck, I called it truckabout. Because for years, I had had this niggling feeling in the back of my mind that art was only a habit I’d gotten into because when I was […]
KITTY LOVE UNDER the MOON
A long time ago, I had a friend who had two kitties who loved each other. She found them soaking wet and freezing in a turned-over garbage bin in back of a store she worked at. She took them home and nurtured them back to health. These cats ate, slept, went for walks with their […]
LITTLE LACEY BITES
They’re still at it, but now the leaves look like they’re tired. The leaves, drooping now, look like little boats trying to drain themselves of excess water. The holes are still on the edges – no bites on the surfaces of the leaves. And fat happy cattypillars, sidling along the edges.
STILL NIBBLING IN from THE SIDES
I told you about the way the cattypillars are munching pretty little round holes in the sides of the Red Bud tree leaves, starting at the edges and moving in towards the center. I have been amazed that that hasn’t changed. I fully expected them to start wandering all over the leaf surfaces, leaving little […]
CATTYPILLAR HOLES
This remains a mystery! You know how yesterday I said there are cattypillars chewing pretty little round holes in some of my Red Bud tree leaves? I noticed something intriguing about them this morning: they only eat around the edges – like a little kid eating the crusts off his sandwich before he dives into […]
CATTYPILLARS ON MY RED BUD TREE!
Sun + leaves = glory and delight! There are two times each day when the sun filters through the leaves of my Red Bud tree, lighting it up like stained glass. I never get tired of seeing it. The way the leaves shimmer in the slight whiff of breeze, and how the lighter parts of […]
I LEFT MY HEART HOME
It’s hard for me to to believe, but it’s been almost seven years since I left my home in Hawaii. I miss it terribly. Hawaii is my Heart Home. It’s taken me forever to get over the shock and trauma that happened right before I left — I still haven’t told the story yet, it upsets me […]
WEAVINGS in the GARDEN
Being in my garden is always a special treat – even though it’s there, every day, every day, sometimes I forget. Weird, no? How could I??? When I wander in the garden, sweet energies weave and whisp throughout the invisible tapestry of energy of flower, bees, bush and bugs – the elusive suffusive scent of […]
Arnica Heartleaf
Arnica promotes healing; is antimicrobial and antiseptic. I’ve used Arnica for years – both in salve and homeopathic forms. It works great, especially for some forms of artritis (which I like to call arth-wrong-iss) and carpel tunnel. Except it doesn’t seem to work for a deep pain in my hip that no one can quite […]
WOOLY LAMB’S EAR
I’m entranced by this design – sometimes my designs captivate me, and this one certainly does. I enlarged it on my screen, and can hardly look away from it. You may not know this, but I set the intention a long, long time ago that any of my art is to radiate Good, Health and […]
TIME TO GET HORIZONTAL
Three goodies for you today! I have so many designs just sitting in little folders on my desktop, each one begging me to let it come to the light and be seen! So today you get not one, not two, but three! Sometimes ya just hafta relax. Or dance. Or sit by the river and […]
ARTISTS ARE the RAFTS
I fully believe that no matter the intensity and depth of the swamp and the mire and the mud and the insanity that we are going through – and probably will go through a lot more of in the coming days – even so, sanity will rise and prevail. I feel if I don’t have […]
ROSES for YOU
As you know, I’ve been recovering from a two-month ordeal of having been environmentally poisoned. Doing the requisite rest everyone tells me to do drives me crazy – seems like it makes the healing take longer than I’d like. I know, I know, don’t push the damn river! So yesterday I thought I’d give myself […]
I Was Poisoned
This is why I haven’t written since January. I was physically and mentally incapable of writing at all. For two months. I awoke on Christmas Day to the stench of something dead in my house. Within an hour, I was so nauseated I felt like I had to vomit. Add a dizzy-migraine on top, and […]
How Long Are You Going to Continue Being ...
What if you could top chewing on your pain? It’s tiring, boring, and it’s just spiraling you deep into exhaustion. Right now you’re probably stuck in a closed mental/emotional loop that goes nowhere, and makes you feel bad, badder, and baddest. You play your woe-is-me scenario over and over in your mind, like gnawing on […]
FOXY-LOXY GARDEN TASSEL RUG
I want to share this with you right quick – I just ordered one of these magnificent rugs for myself!!! I rarely get to keep my own pieces, so I’m excited! The top image shows a rug made for a bathroom. No tassels, but non-skid bottom, and soft and cushy to walk on! Above is […]
GENEROSITY
Over the past few weeks, I have found myself glued to my screen, watching tiktok and FB reels. I come into my studio with a long list of things to do – and every single one of those items promptly slides right on out of my head. Instead of Doing what I Oughta Do, I […]
YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE
You do! I value YOU, and every one of the people who show up, view, appreciate and buy my work, make comments, send support dollars – it means the world to me! I wish you a very happy after-Christmas/holiday-in-between week, and an amazing, incredible, productive, take-care-of-you, fun, loving new year! You’re just the best! Stay […]
THE END of the DARK FORCES
I had a dream tonight that woke me up and made me come running here into my studio to sit down and write it out. In my dream, all of my light-filled friends and allies in the entire world got together and sent wave after wave of pure love to all the people in thrall […]
WHALES EVERYWHERE
An enormous spout of splashy water came fountaining up – and up – and up – Every once in a while, the amount I miss the beach almost clobbers me down onto my knees. I miss the sounds, the waves, walking in the sand, the sun, the smell of the ocean, the fishies, the fresh […]
I Wonder Why You Clap but Not Comment on ...
I’m almost done with Medium. I’m disgusted. The other day, I posted that it was my birthday. That post got 18 claps. Really? You supposedly read my post, clapped, but didn’t even have the courtesy to wish me a happy birthday? You couldn’t even do the 50 claps Medium suggests? Another post that surprised me […]
SILLY TIGER LAUGHS ALL DAY
Today it’s my birthday – I can hardly believe I have lived this long. I frankly never thought I’d make it past 26. (We won’t talk about Ms Wild Child in the past, now, will we!?!) I posted on my FB feed it was my birthday, and so many people commented that I’m blown away […]
I Had to Block An Attack on My Websites T...
I have been targeted lately by some chin*se assholes who keep asking me if I have registered some of my websites in ch*na, and that they want to do so, themselves. Even going as far as wanting to register angelatreatlyon.com. I’m thinking, wtf are they going to do with a website with MY name on […]
BLACK STALLION LOVES BUNNY
I guess I’m just the typical 79-year-old teenager who never got over loving and fantasizing about having horses. . My parents had a boat we got to sail all summer – they said that was enough! No horses! I said, ‘But, but, we have a barn! And I’ll keep the tack in good shape, and […]
POSSIBILITIES
There is so much threatening our freedom right now! So – what to DO??? Happy Thanksgiving Day to all who celebrate, and to all who do not! I choose this image named Possibilities for today because times are scary right now, and instead of decrying all day what’s wrong, what’s wrong, and whining and crying […]
THEY SAID I WAS LYING
I got all the way to my mid-teens before it suddenly came home to me one day that other people didn’t just suddenly get complete downloads of ideas the way I did. People asked me, “Where do you get your ideas?” They thought I was lying when I told them. It was then that I […]
I Refuse to Let Life Crush Me
People are reeling at the chaos created by recent events! We have to manage our minds better! Being with people recently, whether live or on social media, feels like being in an emotional washing machine, tossed around like a piece of old worn out lint. I refuse to be smashed! I shall remain calm. I […]
LOOKING BACK JUST MAKES YOU YEARN, ACHING...
Listening to Shanna spout crap like that made my belly churn. What the heck was she thinking??? But suddenly, she went into this kind of glassy-eyed trance . . . Shanna came back over today to tell me she was so grateful to me for stopping her panic attack yesterday. And, all excited, told me […]
STOP WASTING YOUR ENERGY!
My neighbor Shanna came over, crying, utterly bereft about the election. I told her to put her big-girl panties back on and quit indulging in weeping and wailing and moaning and being angry and sad, moping around like a victim, wasting her energy She yelled at me. I don’t do well with being yelled at. […]
