Re-entering the Journey of the Artist's Way


It's been a little while since I've taken this aspect of myself seriously and it drops me to my knees. I find myself listening to old favorites in music - things that made me want to be a musician and artist to begin with - the gifts, desperations, drives....
I am becoming re-introduced to myself. The feelings; deep, absolutely gutteral - primal.
The reasons for being, living learning.
If you don't want to feel; make no mistakes, take no chances, don't express yourself.
I did this and died.
I am welcoming myself back to life.

Hard Times for Huskies...............

Hard times have fallen on everyone, well, just about everyone.

Nikita was resting comfortabley this
morning, thank heaven.

On the other side of the bed, she has her grandparent purchased, L.L. Bean, sage colored, thickly padded mattress - but she chose this.

Can't say I blame her.

Sweet dreams little husky.

Political Commentary......... from the last economic bubble.

Real World
Susan Lowery - 1999
I know there's a place for me
Outside this corporate realm
Tired of being a figurine
All that can go straight to hell

Dinner dates, terms and rates
Policies on the line
Holdin' it in
No matter how grim
I've got better things to do with time
I'm talkin' 'bout a real world
Talkin' 'bout a real, real, real, real, world

Looking for truth and solutions
Cures to false pride and pollution
Bodies containing minds that relate, using technology - minus the hate
Procrastination, manipulation - sad, sad tools of the trade
Stop talking - start walkin'
It's time to infiltrate
I'm talkin' 'bout a real world
Talkin' 'bout a real, real, real, real, world

A place of love
A place of integrity
Learning to live more passionately
Talkin' 'bout a real, real, real, real, world

Old boys nations, leaving us nothing but constipation
Well meaning swelled up buffoons
Politics clear as cartoons!
Cut the fat, that's just that,
Let's everyone tow the line
Cut the fat, that's just that,
Or leave 'em all behind

I'm talkin' 'bout a real world
Talkin' 'bout a real, real, real, real, world

Snowy Lizards..........


Too fun!
Nikki and I had a great walk this morning out in the snow. Here are the little lizards that flank the entry to our patio.

Peaceful and quiet.


Snowday, ahhhhhhhhhh..........

Slowly But Surely....................


I get really irritated when it takes so long to get things done, but I guess that the order for the last 6 months has been PATIENCE....... Not my favorite word, nor action....

I cannot wait until Christmas break - I need my life back.

I will finish this piece over the break.

Friday's Glorious Sunrise

No retouching, adjusting - just pure mother G, at her best.
The rise was even more glorious - reds, oranges, fushias - on the other side of the house but I didn't get to capture it, I simply enjoyed it.

Me, Grandam Williamson (Finnish Grandma) & Linda; My Sis (left)

Grandama Williamson, Willer & Me.
I think Willer is about five or six, which would make me about three or so....
This was in Milwaukie, Oregon where Grandma & Grandpa lived oh so long ago.
Grandma was a firecracker! Grandpa, the calm.........

Desert Love Song

Desert Lament
Susan Lowery 9/28/2008

Dove, dove bird of love
Wing across the desert sky
Dove, dove bird of love, bring my lover’s breath to me
Dove, dove bird of love, bring my lover back to me

Raven flying high
Sly one of the seabed dry
Raven flying high
Crossing worlds by day and night

Coyote trick my eyes
Feed me stories, (filled with) feed me lies
Coyote trick my eyes
Make me love and make me cry

Artwork for Irshad...........


Old Stuff, But Bright & Fun Colors






Playful, loving, hope-filled dragons!

"The Pit......................."

Well, here it is - "The Pit." And, it's finally burned!!!!!! Yahoo!!! Mom Lowery and I dug this pit last October.

It's been filled and emptied many times, but not burned. Today was the maiden burning.

I think its about 6 feet across and 2 feet deep.

How appropriate, Dan and I are both Aries - fire signs. It was a great project to work on together.

"Ummmmmm, fire good!"
