The Spiral Series is my latest and has been occupying my time for the last few years. This series has grown in depth and technique. Here are a few samples I just created to hang in the common space of the Topanga Canyon Gallery. They are 6H x 18W framed. Mixed media of watercolor and color pencil.

Close-up for detail:
I just became a member of the Topanga Canyon Gallery and created this logo for the holiday season. We are planning to follow googles’ example and change our logo for holidays or maybe even have one of the monthly show artists create one for their show. It will be fun which ever way we go.
This is a co-op gallery and has about 40 members. It is located in the middle of Topanga Canyon and changes art every month. The artist cover most mediums: painting oil, acrylic and watercolor; photography; ceramics, bronze; jewelry; sculpture and more.
Our Holiday Show is coming up, the opening is Dec. 5th. Check out the website for upcoming events and to join the mailing list. TopangaCanyonGallery
I really love Sesame Street and there they were looking back at me when I went to search this morning. Google really has this logo specialization thingy down… I usually go to their site on purpose each day just to see what’s up now!
My website Be A Smile represents my passion, energy… and smiling is the smallest and beginning of energy generation… then laughing keeps it going. I have a line of characters called Bebuddies who are the spreader of the smiles… come join the fun and take a look… and thanks for being you! —Karrie Ross
Brenda Barnes had a vision she just had to write about… and that vision is “Dissing Xmas” a book of short tips and thoughts for consideration concerning the Holiday season. Her vision took her to an over turned cart of presents…”Dissing Xmas” is short and sweet and many of it’s messages hit home for any time of year, holiday or not.
“Once Americans discover that Xmas really won’t be ruined if a super-hyped item isn’t acquired, wrapped, and delivered on December 25th or an expensive, overbooked flight isn’t taken on December 24th, then a richer, purer, and less frenzied holiday may emerge.” —Brenda Barnes, Author

Greg was a pleasure to work with on his book “Propology 101″ and his website. He shares his journey through his own search for a prop-less world.
PROPOLOGY: The science or study of the origin, development, organization and functioning of using props to establish ones status, lifestyle, or character, or desired portrayal of such.
“My goal is to pose to you some very simple questions, and provide you with some information and tools that will help you answer them. Why do you make the choices you make? Are the Props in your life really defining you? Are you living for yourself? Or, are you doing what you think you should be doing? Most importantly; what is it that you really want to do? And what is holding you back from doing that? Enjoy the journey!” —Greg Palmer, Author

Language
What we say matters.
How we say it matters.
When we say it matters.
Why we say it matters.

Having become aware of the previous textures of awareness, acceptance, accountability and action, we are now more aware of the importance of language and how it affects our life. Language is one of the most influential ways we connect with ourselves both internally and externally. What we say really does matter. By changing the meaning we place on events though the words we attribute to them, we change the emotional vibration attached to the event and eventually our world changes within this new perspective.

The person we imagine becoming…
is the person we become to get there.
Live into the dream.
