Love and Joy

When I was walking to work last week I spied a few pieces of wood in a dumpster. They were the sawed off end pieces from a construction job. I grabbed three, stuck them in my backpack, and figured I'd decide what to do with them later. Since I'm trying to reduce the number of art canvas/paper/surfaces that I purchase and, instead, use items I find and give them a new life, this was a wonderful discovery.

These are the three pieces of wood I picked up.

They are crying out to be beautified!!

The first one I've finished is 5.5"x5.5"x1.5". Below are photos of all the sides. "Love" on one side and "Joy" on the other. It can be turned around depending on your mood. 😃

Action shot!

And here are close-up scans.

Graffiti Love

I love graffiti. Not the mean spirited or the "I own this so I'm marking this" kind, but the kind communicating beauty, sadness, love, bliss, remorse, joy....

There are a number of places in Austin where graffiti is gifted and then after some time it's covered, sometimes by the city, sometimes by other graffiti artists, sometimes just by the elements of life itself. These are amazing living walls of reflection and sharing.

In the next few weeks I will dedicate a wall or door in my house to take on such a life.
