Mini View

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Last week I did not work on any “serious” art projects, although I did finish up something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I have wanted to make a one page mini zine for years now, probably since 2004 when I first saw one. For various reasons, I never got around […]

First Mother’s Day

Monday, May 14, 2012

Yesterday my mom, sister and I went to Old Sturbridge Village because they were giving free admission to all mothers. It was a nice afternoon and we saved $75.

Appreciate the Various Greens of Springtime

Monday, April 30, 2012

This is my favorite time of year to be outside appreciating the subtleties of nature. Springtime is the best time to experience the color Green in many different variations. The spring landscape is gorgeous here in New England. Above is a photo I took yesterday from the top of Poet’s Seat Tower. I made a […]

European Stream

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my personality and how I am nothing like the stereotypical “artist personality.” I took a Myers-Briggs test and I came back as ISTJ (introvert, sensing, thinking, judging). I am very serious and organized. I am ultra-dependable. I see things in black and white and I have a need […]

Feeding the Green River

Sunday, February 12, 2012

This little piece depicts one of the many waterfalls that empty into the Green River. After Hurricane Irene, my husband and I drove around to survey the damage and I snapped a photo that I used as a reference. The river and the streams were flowing a lot faster than normal, which made for a […]

Papou’s House

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Image at left: ©2009 Carolyn A Pappas, Norway Maple. Colored pencil, 20 x 16 inches. I stayed with my grandfather (Papou) when I was in college and for a few years afterward. He passed away this past year, and his house was recently sold. I’ve always loved his house. It was a simple ranch, but […]
