Quiet Wisdom: An Ode to Trees

Posted in Art, tree stories, Trees, tagged , , , , on February 19, 2023| 2 Comments »

As a boy I knew there was more to trees than just limbs to be climbed and heights to be reached. There was something mysterious and magical about them. They were living creatures of infinite sizes and shapes and each of them had a story to tell. And these trees told their stories slowly, quietly, and poetically.

Quiet Wisdom: An Ode to Trees was written by Michael Kennedy, Olympic Valley, CA resident, teacher, photographer & writer. For the entire story and breath taking photography visit his website at https://www.bluewolfgallery.com/post/quiet-wisdom-an-ode-to-trees. Enjoy!

Kaligrafos forest on my doorstep!

Posted in Art, Calligraphy, Installations, Kaligraphos, Texas Council of Oaks, tagged , , on January 21, 2023| 2 Comments »

Look what showed up on my doorstep! Over 1100 celebrated handmade paper rounds — 35 “trees” created over many months by the Kaligrafos calligraphy Guild of Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex members.  

In December when the proposed gallery closed and the pandemic hit, creatives Tom & Brenda Burns, Trish Manche, Rick Garlington, Monica & Rick Winters, Betty Barna, and Sherry Barber sprung into action to display and video their work in a natural setting near Whitewright, TX.

It’s incredibly perfect and ever-so beautiful!

In gratitude for their journey—time, expertise and venture, I’ve captured some images below.

For the entire video scroll on the Events Page and enjoy!

It’s a remarkable community.

What is your tree story?

Posted in Stories, tree stories, Trees, tagged , , , on January 13, 2023| Leave a Comment »

We all have at one time in our life experienced a tree in one way or another.

We climbed trees with our friends seeing who could climb the highest, built a tree house that was our refuge, walked through a cool dense forest in the springtime, plucked a plump red apple off a tree, speculated on what kind of a tree we would be.

On a hot summer evening, did you run to a tree for safe base when you played tag?

Somewhere within you there is a tree story.

Just as the rings of a tree embody the stories of the tree, so too we carry the stories of trees. These stories inspire us to renew our sense of wonder. They connect us to one another through shared experiences as they deepen our understanding to our connection with nature.

Shared visions

Posted in Art, Evanston Library, Handmade paper, Paper-making, tagged , , , , , , on October 28, 2022| Leave a Comment »

I never cease to be amazed and delighted by the creative stories and art that are shared!

There were two trees.

They are friends.

They have a bird friend too.

Although they can talk to each other through their bird friend.

They cannot play or touch each other.

There was a road in between them.

Then they both grew up.

And one day they can touch each other’s leaves and branches.

They are happy now.

They brid friend sings a song for them.

SDG

I climbed a tree almost.
