underneath the baobab: September 2011

http://underneaththebaobab.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Early fall backpacking trip before the weather turns. Lots of huckleberries, bears and mystical night skies. Sunday, September 18, 2011. Art and Writing Camp for Girls. I spent part of a week in August at the Art and Writing Camp for Girls in Cove, Oregon. It is sponsored by the Cove Ascension School. And ES.T.E.A.M. Many girls don't have an opportunity to work in clay at their schools so I was really happy to show them some techniques. Labels: Cove Ascension School.

underneath the baobab: July 2012

http://underneaththebaobab.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 25, 2012. These recent photos are from the village of Tomegbe, just down the dirt road a mile or so from the village of Game, where I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. Tomegbe is a village of approximate 200 people who traditionally get their water from a stream nearby. The water is transported on foot, usually by women and girls, and is very labor intensive and time consuming. The village will greatly benefit from having this clean water source nearby. The hard work of digging a well.

Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Well building project starting in the village of Tomegbe! The Harmattan winds are blowing down from the north and the dry season continues in Togo. This is the time of year to begin a new well and the people of Tomegbe have been busy the last few months collecting sand for the bricks that will line the walls. Walking long distances with cuvettes. Of sand on their heads, a pile of sand is dumped near the well site. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Wednesday, January 18, 2012. This is a painting I did of our recent trip to Mexico. We had an open air casa with this ridiculous view. Whales in the bay, frigate birds, horned cows, spectacular flowers, butterflies everywhere and blue footed boobies! I was so inspired when I returned that I painted for 3 days straight.

Thursday, July 28, 2011. Beets and raspberries in raspberry vinaigrette. I just found this dee-lish recipe and had to share it. It is adapted from The Vegetarian Compass. By Karen Hubert Allison. It's perfect for your summer bounty and has such a nice mixture of both sweet and tart. 1/4 c raspberry vinegar or other fruit/white vinegar. 1/2 t sugar (optional). 1 small clove garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 T olive oil. 2 T canola oil. 2 T Walla Walla onions, minced. 1 1/2 -2 cups raspberries.

Tuesday, December 7, 2010. This is a painting of my mother who died a little over a year ago after battling cancer. I miss her very much. She is in the middle between her two siblings. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I grew up on a farm in Missouri and have been making art for as long as I can remember. When I'm not in my studio or teaching my now fabulous elementary and middle school students, I love to travel, backpack and swim in mountain lakes. View my complete profile.

Friday, April 16, 2010. A well in the village of Zebe! We're very excited to announce that a well is being dug in the village of Zebe. This small village is located just next to Game and the friendly people there are known for their amazing drumming. Here is a photo of some of the people of Zebe, including the Chief. The process begins by looking for water. As supplies arrive, the heavy bags of cement are unloaded. And the metal bars. Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I grew up on a far...
