boars bristles by the beach...

Last summer I took a little walk down this road with Griffin and Norene...
Sadly, the pictures and story I was going to tell were filed away into the
abyss of my computer.
Gladly,  I am able to resurrect these in connection with an art
show and sale this weekend!
At the end of a quiet little road by the ocean is
the most wonderful little studio where Bonnie Coulter lives and works and CREATES!
Come on in...
Have a peek inside...
Look at these lovely works of art...
Inspired by the ocean right outside her door...
Magic transformed onto canvas from the woods surrounding her house...
Loved ones become things of beauty by the inspiring brush hand of Bonnie...
Not only is Bonnie creative in the studio, but her property has you 'oooing'
and 'aahhing' all the way down to the seashore...
You might guess that she's a Master Gardener as well!
Or you may think that Dr Seuss had a hand in here somehow!
 
Whatever the inspiration is, be sure to drop on by for a truly wonderful show.
She has partnered with fellow East Sookeite, Val, who I've
introduced to you before at The Wren House , along with
several other artists displaying and selling their beautiful work.
If you'd like to find out more you can check out The East Sooke Fine Arts website.
...and now, back down to the beach...

This is what I think of when I talk about living the artist's life... when your life is art and everything you do is about your way of seeing the world.
What a beautiful life this is. Thanks for showing us where this woman lives. It's a beautiful place and an expression of the artistic life we should all live.

I agree with farmlady!

She is definitely living the dream (or at least my dream!). Thank you for showing us her fantastic property, and her beautiful art. I just love the bull kelp paintings.

we tend to think there are 3 dimensions in our world. thank goodness for art and for your blog because we are reminded of the world beyond the first 3 dimensions.
