Abstracted acrylic painting
#earthscape #art #painting
Abstract acrylic painting in shades of green, yellows, burgundy and pale orange, flowing, layered and blended across the canvas. Small circles of contrasting colors appear in the lower, mostly green shaded section. One sweeping burgundy swirl comes down from the top and gently encircles a large faded orange circle.

#alphabetchallenge #weekZforZero
What do you call a row of Z’s?
A … Z row🤣 (I’m so funny)
#earthscape #winter #crayola
The word ‘zero’ in balloon lettering, using shades of blue Crayola, with icicles covering letter tops,with the appearance of being set in snow. A play on the word, referencing a temperature of 0°.

#labyrinth #earthscape
Actually began this project in 2024.
The Labyrinth.
Photo taken November, 2025.
View from top of stairs looking out onto a circular labyrinth whose cedar mulch path is a tenth of a mile long. Bordering the paths as one winds inward and then unwinds out the the other side are perennials. Golden creeping sedum is abundant and for height along the trail there are daylily and irises. Blooming color scheme is yellow & peach, followed by blues & whites. The perimeter is filled with lilies, iris, rudbeckia, yucca, yarrow, tall sedum, echinacea, ribbon grass, smoke bush, red twig dogwood, forsythia, birch, eastern redbud and in spring, over 3500 bulbs. As this photo was taken during fall, colors of green, gold and bronze are putting on a dazzle of a show. A few benches along the lower side offer a place for sitting and breathing in the zen.

Current living room situation in my apartment
#earthscape #christmas #holidaydecorations
3 multicolor lighted live Christmas trees, on the left, 8ft tall potted Norfolk. (I’ve had her since she was a baby).Center, is a 4ft tall Frazier fir with assorted glass ornaments (mostly mushrooms). On the right, another fir tree with my 40+ years worth of glass ornament collection. Both firs are also embellished with a finishing touch of tinsel. Behind the firs are warm white lights adorning a couple palm trees.A few fuzzy snow people are in the foreground. I guess I got me some holiday spirit!

#alphabetchallenge #weekWforWindows
My car identifies as a truck.
So when I need to move a 6ft. pine with a really heavy root ball, the windows gotta be open🤪
#earthscape #tree #hondacivic
A grey car with about three ft. worth of pine tree crown sticking out the open, rear, passenger side window. I’m sure I looked rather silly driving down the road. But she’s now happily rooted in her new home.

Incredibly Intense Indigo
#earthscape #lights
#exteriorillumination
Photo taken after round 3 of shoveling. I thought the shrub illuminated beautifully against the night and snowy conditions. It looks sort of like an underwater, iridescent blue coral. Nothing like letting the mind wander after shoveling a foot of heavy snow.

Abstract Acrylic Art
#earthscape #painting
Acrylic painting of an orange toned flower abstraction. Green accents render the illusion of foliage. Background is hues of purples and blues. A circular object in the sky could be a some sort of light source.

Grow lights casting shadows above, below and on the walls as my apt transforms into a life size fairy garden for winter.
#earthscape #gardening #fairygarden #crazyplantlady
A room filled with about 100 tropical and desert plants of all sizes. Some are blooming in shades of yellow and orange. The foliage has lots of different texture and color. Most of the pots have a terracotta appearance.

Rockdesign labyrinth
#earthscape #gardening #rockon
A labyrinth with pinkish toned, basketball sized rocks, spiraling out to a large enough to sit on, dark grey boulder. (I couldn’t budge it, so it became part of the design).Small multicolored stones make up the remainder of the ground area.
