I'm back from a glorious, relaxing, much needed three days in Provincetown with two of the best hostesses on the planet! While I'm busy editing over 100 pictures of homes, gardens, whimsey, dogs, the beach and everything in between, let me share this delicious bloody mary with you that I had at brunch yesterday (the best brunch in town for only $12.95!!.) That was for you Ms. Kj ;)
How nice the bartender included a perfect celery cactus!!
Down the hatch!!! And Happy Cactus Monday!
I had some of my family over yesterday and my Great Niece and Great Nephew were among the guests. This is the first time they saw my house and the studio.
I finally found a little free time to sit and make art with them.
This amazing little painting was done by my Great Nephew, Joshie. He's seven years old!
He didn't look at any references to draw his desert scene. And this was his idea. It dawned on me that I could use it for Cactus Monday and show it off.
So we have a Saguaro, a scorpion and a tarantula on the rock, a jack rabbit, a snake and a lizard. I think this is awesome!
My Great Niece, Josh's sister Alex drew this frog. She drew it from looking at an antique ceramic frog of mine. I love how she put the fly in there for a touch of reality! She's nine years old.
I know it's not a cactus BUT it's green! And I love it.
All that housecleaning and stress was worth every minute of yesterday's visit.
Happy Cactus Monday and Frog Day! ;)
And by "hangover" I mean this image is hung over from last year!
I thought he deserved an encore.
I hope everyone had a fun, safe, spooktacular Halloween!!
Oh, and Happy Cactus Monday :)
Are you tired of the long winter and this being your view?
Are your windows frosty and dull?
Does the grey go on forever and ever?
Well, what you need is the Cactus Mitten!!
It will warm up your view with it's vibrant colors and just chase those winter blues away!
So go ahead! What are you waiting for?
Buy one or two for yourself, and don't forget your friends!!
JUST $99.95 plus tax where applied.
Decorations on pots may vary. Not responsible for people (or cats) getting pricked by those sharp things.
I've been on such a creative roll this weekend doing lots of my atc's ahead of time for our ABC group that I thought I'd wake up on that same roll and paint a cactus. Well, I think my roll has shifted slightly because I'm not too happy with this one! I've missed being a part of CM though, so here's my little offering this week, spines and shadows. And I used a bit of gouache in the spines just for Teri! But then I couldn't leave it alone. I just had to go over them with colored pencils. HCM everyone!
It seemed appropriate for me to try and paint a cactus menorah because the holiday season is upon us.
Wishing all of you a season of light, peace and an abundance of joy!
Happy Cactus Monday!!
(This atc is going out to Lynn ;) )
There's a restaurant (Fanizzi's) in Ptown where we had a super brunch with a spectacular view of the beach. Ouside they had wonderful pots of Mums and ornamental cabbages. I used my creative license to add cactus and put the arrangement on the table! Happy Cactus Monday!!
Quick sketch while having coffee in my new studio. Wooo-hooo!
I had to photograph this wonderful metal sculpture for my Cactus Monday pals!
This man and his 84 year old dad make the most unusual and awesome things out of scrap metal. What a trip!!
Happy Cactus Monday!
(Oh, I don't remember his name. I even tried Googling him.)
Okay, boring!! I'm running out of cactus creativity. I don't know how some of you manage to keep things so interesting and fresh. Maybe I need to go back to the west. Just kidding, I love it here ;).
HCM everyone!!
Wow, what a weekend! My oldest sister turned 65 on Sunday and on Saturday her daughters and I flew in my sister from Colorado as a surprise. Then my brother came to the cookout and blew my sister away for the second time that day. It was the first time in 22 years that we four siblings have been together!
My oldest sister's reactions and emotions were priceless!
Sunday was the actual birthday dinner and while they were busy in the kitchen I went next door and made ATC's with my eight year old Great Niece, Alexandra. I asked her to draw a cactus with me for Cactus Monday so we could post them together. She did this without reference, TA DA...her cactus in the snow. She's a natural born artist ;)
Mine is made up too, per usual!
We three sisters are spending the day together today. I'll be back to the blogs tomorrow!
Happy Cactus Monday all!
I'm thrilled beyond thrilled to be back in New England for what promises to be the best colorful Autumn in years. I think the West should be able to celebrate the season for the same reason....COLOR!!!
This atc was inspired by a card I bought with a photograph of dew on a prickly pear cactus. No matter if I scan it or photograph it, the sparkles just aren't showing up! It's really prettier in 'person.' (Done on the back of a recycled birthday card.)
Something quick and simple for this Monday. HCM!!!
...and the right accessories make the woman!
Happy Cactus Monday! This one goes to Debra Kay ;)
Oliver likes shiny things!
...are made for walking in the desert and showing off their BLING!!
Terrible scan. I can't figure out this new darn software! The photo came out worse. Oh well, it's pretty shiny in person. Happy Cactus Monday!
The 5th commenter gets the boots!
Could it be??? Why yes, it's the rare cactus-back gecko!
He can be adopted by the first one who says they want him. Hurry...he's already walking off the card! Happy Cactus Monday everyone!
This quick ATC is a double whammy today. It's for Cactus Monday as well as my "N" in my ABC atc group and it goes to Teri! Tell me where to mail it Prez.
Happy Cactus Monday everyone!
I went to see a long time old, old friend today which is why I'm just showing up now, and while I was driving I got to thinking about this...
What if cactus grew in cornfields???
Summer makes my head spin in the heat and humidity!
Happy Cactus Monday my friends ;)
I kind of just let my sepia Pitt pens do the talking today with nothing concrete in mind. I used an orange sharpie for the contrast. Slowly but surely I'm getting my workspace together.
Happy Cactus Monday everyone!!
I took a fast break in the packing to whip up an atc for today!
HCM my friends!!
I drew this atc while watching TV last night and just painted it five minutes ago using the hairdryer to hurry it along! Traded to Lynn!!
You won't see much more of me this week with Uncle here, but you never know!
Happy Cactus Monday!!
A rose is a rose is a rose...unless it's on a cactus!
Squeaked another one out fast and dirty today! ATC available for trade :)
Happy Cactus Monday!
Here's my first ABC atc card which will go to Lynn.
"A" is for agave. Hey, I killed two birds with one stone, Cactus Monday and ABC atc's seeing as I was coerced by the group! Sneaky, sneaky girls ;)
HCM my loyal friends!
Remember the new residents that moved in last week?
There goes my peace and quiet!
HCM everyone!!
Hey, what have we here? I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
(I completely spaced on CM again and ran and painted this in five minutes!)
I think I have too much on my mind with moving, etc.
Anyhoodle, HCM everyone!! And smooches!

Great interpretation of a cactus! I'll have to keep my eye out for that kind when I'm drawing a blank and can't think of a cactus rhyme at all!
Happy you are safely back...and thrilled you had a much-needed change of scenery....
Love the "Cactus-y" Bloody Mary!
We'll talk soon - perhaps tonight?
Love,
