Cascade
I have to say, I was very taken with designer Michelle Brand’s Cascade design. It is made of 600 plastic bottles that have been cut and assembled to form a beautiful sculptural fountain. I love that everyday items can be recycled into art. That’s a lot of water….
I was looking for Irma Thomas’ Blackwater Blues, which I love, but ran across this John Lee Hooker classic called Tupelo, also known as Blackwater Blues. Since I’m in New Orleans, I thought this would be rather appropriate to Kick Start the Weekend. Let’s hope there’s not a hurricane brewin’ where I’m going.
I also discovered in this search process that Irma Thomas did a cover of the original song by Bessie Smith and James Johnson — a little more uplifting than the previous blues excerpt.

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.
