i'm adoring these warm & blooming days now in minnesota! i was on a walk & saw a woman bent over & tending her garden & was both moved by the loving arch of her body as well as her beautiful blooms. (etsy added with love)
Rachel, That's adorable. Yes, it is beautiful in MN right now. Hubby's been tending his garden all weekend and having so much fun. I'm glad he loves it so. I enjoy sitting out there, but not doing all the work! I'll have photos up on my blog soon! Hugs, Kelly
ok stop this. stop this insanity! EVERY single time you post a new piece, i say... "OH! OH! THIS IS MY FAVORITE!" until the next one! i can.t keep up with all the juicy goodness you share. i am LOVING this dear rachel. the dots are spotty and wonderful and full of good cheer! and your poetic wording? gushing! i would LOVE to take a little field trip into that pretty red head of yours and sit amongst all the amazing thoughts that must be floating so freely up in there! let me know when tickets go on sale!
dearest rachel, as i tend to my own garden, this lovely serendipity consumes me with joy! i'm moved by all that you create, all that is YOU! i'm catching up on posts and read your recent interview... in fact, i need to go read it again, because it speaks to me so much :)
i really can't thank you enough for being a believer in me and sending me your powerful vibes of encouragement. its just what i needed to thrust me along. you have so many special gifts, beyond words. THANK YOU for being a friend, an inspirer, and a bright and shining light! how lucky i am to know you.
i just love it how you take everyday events (like a woman tending to her garden) and turn them into magical little pieces of artwork!! your use of color is always amazing.....and i am LOVING how you colored in that sunshine!!!! fabulous!!! xox, ;))
I love dots. Have I ever told you this? And you have turned dots into a divine piece of wonderment, a fresh and fancy garden I can almost smell and the most charming sunshine ever. Feels like my heart's been tended to, too. You're amazing!
rachel, thank you for such up beat positive, delightful comments!!! your work has got to be like: "WHO YOU ARE"...fun is just one word that comes to mind in perusing here...so glad to have found you...you rock with your very own art vibes and i am groovin' with you too!!! xo wanda
i got so carried away with glee and you i forgot to mention, this post...how endearing your words about the gardener's body...so special the way you worded it...along with your delightful art...you're the bomb!
Rachel, Beautiful, as always. Your concise description of the moment inspiring your art--"loving arch of her body"--the words and art are visual poetry. I think you should add that to your profile description: Visual poet. Lisa
Rachel-I wanted to give you a belated huge THANK-YOU for featuring Paris on your blog! I'm so glad you love him. Maine is so busy in the spring with all the gardening to get in.I have been busy. Your art work is beautiful! Emily
Life can be so much more when we take the time to truly look (and appreciate) our surroundings...just like you did when you noticed the woman in her garden.

Absolutely lovely way of showing the signs of Spring!
Tending one's garden is important stuff, Beautiful Rachel. That we celebrate the beauty in that makes it all the sweeter.
Have a wonderful week !
LOVE this!
And I was born in MN :)
can hear the birds chirping in these gorgeous colours!
what a creative way to express it ...
How beautiful! I probably always write that as a comment on your blog, but it's really the first thing that comes to mind every time I see your work.
