Art of the Farm
Besides being an artist who creates with paint and paper, everything I do I approach as an art form. My calling is to integrate all facets of my life creatively. So I regard Sunwise Farm and Sanctuary as The Art Farm and practice the art of the farm. It is part tending and caring for the earth, the plants and critters who visit and part aesthetic. I should be saying “we”, because my husband does all of the heavy lifting. My joke is “I’ll make the lemonade”. Luckily, some of my ideas are taken into account. The main grounding structure in our thinking is the seasons, responding accordingly to the reality outside our door. This has formed the basis of the structure for my art making and art sharing; the quarterly Open Studios and news updates that I send. Also the 4 seasons cards and prints business.
In this post I’m sharing some beloved plants and a few of the improvements that we have achieved recently. You can come see for yourself at the next Open Studio, August 6.
Beautiful, Kathleen – such a wonderful, peaceful environment in which to create. Thanks so much for sharing the photos!
Kathleen, it is, stop in some time and create something here with me! I’m happy to share the beauty.
