Aspen & Many Sides of Nature
It’s Labor Day, why do any work? My husband went to Aspen, CO recently and was able to get some hiking time in between conferences. Here are some pictures he took. Nature’s beauty abounds but so does the mural map juxtaposed against the mountainous backdrop.
While these photos make me want to be there and are certainly inspirational for sketching, I am worried and my mind is focused on Hurricane Gustav. I’m having eerie flashbacks from three years ago — just a few days past Hurricane Katrina. Fortunately, my mother and brother and his wife have evacuated early this time. I’m praying and hoping the city will be OK. It’s almost too much to bear again and just when I felt that substantial progress that had been made. Please join me in saying a prayer or two and/or keeping your fingers crossed that the storm surge will not be that bad this time.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
