Mushroom love

lists

I am always making lists.

Things I am thankful for, 

things to do,

things to draw, 

garden plans,

every Christmas gift I have ever gotten,

what I ate,

where I would like to go, 

things to  look up,

things to make,

things to make lists of....

I have been doing this forever.

My daughter tells me obsessive list making is a sign of ADHD.

Probably.

 Especially if you rewrite the same list over and over.

I do

I am not making light of anyone with ADHD. And I have never been diagnosed, but living with autism I can now see traits from Autism, Aspergers, PPD-NOS, ADD, OCD, ETC. in myself and almost everyone around me. I guess what makes the difference is how many of these traits we each have. and how well we can function with these traits.

I think I have just enough ... not too many, not too few.

I mean, aren't you a fan of the quirky personality?

So anyway, I have been lately posting more than just art, i am enjoying thinking of posts to do taht aren't just paintings but whatever i am thinking about...
 Posts in a series...
posts just about color....

adventures with autism....

a glimpse in my sketchbook....

sacred circle mandala photos,

and lists....

so here's my first list...
a photographed list,
or rather a list in pictures,

nothing too quirky to start with.

5 things I am thankful for lately

(apart from my family of course)

1. a gift...

2. looking up...

3. working on my future book.....

4. Muffins with honey....

and 5. Gigantic mushrooms

mushroom mandala

 

I spent much of this summer taking pictures of mushroom along with searching for bees. I have so many photos I thought I should make an attempt to post a few ... and the mandala that I did back at that time, I think the colors are inspired by them, along with all the golden rod that was everywhere back at the end of summer.

 

 

 Tiny mushroom families.............

 

 

 

my little altar

I have a little spot next to my desk at work.

I don't call it an altar to the people who pass by when they question my stuff,

But I think that's what it is...

 

filled with tiny bits

collections, dreams and big thoughts

flotsam and jetsam

 

when I go out collecting, stuff ends up here...

 

 sometimes I arrange it for photos...

 

 

sometimes I sketch it...

 

I bought that little wishing pot on vacation this summer at an artisan gallery, It had the best tag... I'd quote it but I lost it somewhere along the way. It listed all the things you could keep inside... stuff like secret wishes, imaginary toys, hopes and dreams, fairy dust,........ and I really wish I hadn't lost that tag.  The pot also came with a fortune inside that you couldn't read till you had purchased it, and it was only like $3.00 I think. A DEAL! I have added some secrets to it but there's still room for lots more....

 

 

 

Happy PPF & Haiku my heart!
