Or An Ode to Robinwood Dinosaurs We went to Allaire State Park a few years back, in the winter of 2021, because we just needed to get the heck out of the house and get some fresh air. It was quite a bit of a drive from our house. What we found while hiking was […]

It is not my first time playing with polymer clay. As a matter of fact I do it quite often, and love to share with others how to do it. Working with clay, just like many other mediums, involves a lot of fun problem solving. This tree certainly came with it’s own issues. In fact, […]
Watercolors can be tough when you are starting out. Luckily, this watercolor sunset is super easy to do. ***This page contains affiliate links.*** Get watercolor paper, masking tape, some watercolor paints (I am fond of these and these), and brushes. Especially important is a fine round brush for all the fine details. I like to […]
This August, I piled some teens into my car and took a drive down to Happy Day Farm. I really just wanted to see some flowers. We parked in a nice, open field and went to the admissions window. It is a nice walk to the admissions. Oh! An important thing to remember! They are […]

We headed over to The Waterloo Village because it was a place we have never […]
Last year we went to see the cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park in Newark. We were planning to go again this year, but Coronavirus had a different plan in sight. Hopefully, next year we can all see the cherry blossoms, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these photos from our last visit. […]
(2019) When I heard that there will be a Frida Kahlo exhibit in Brooklyn Museum, I knew I had to visit right away. Well, almost right away. As a matter of fact, we made it there at the very last weekend. It was worth it to see Frida Kahlo. The exhibit was totally amazing. I […]
There is so much you can do when you understand the concept of simple single point perspective. I remember clear as day when it clicked for me. It just made sense. Recently I did a simple art class with young kids on the subject. We did things like make 3D letters, and optical illusions. That led me […]
Nestled in the heart of New Jersey is a beautiful little place. Leonard J Buck Garden. It is a lovely garden, filled with paths, ponds, streams and tiny, adorable bridges. At the end of October we made a plan to visit it together with friends.
