A mixed media pair called “SIDEYARD / BACKYARD” are the stars of the perennial show in the lucky 13th episode of the podcast this week. (It's also a week with Friday the 13th!)

Together they introduce a hardy cast of perennial characters whose cheeky personalities take shape in chalk pastel and acrylic on paper.

We hear the story of friendship as it played out in the garden, learn a simple way to impersonate a deckled edge and get a glimpse of art history at work in the painters studio.

The visuals for these paintings can be found on my blog and on Instagram.

The meditation begins at 12:53. In it we are reminded life is lived in the details.

In the unhurried natural world, we independently pause to define our own version of a personal oasis. Using the breath as our guide In this real or imagined place we aim to move our to do lists aside for a short while and recharge. I hope you’ll join us for an unhurried moment, together
