Digital Art Projects
This is a new enterprise for me starting in 2024/25.
I create these projects using my own digital photos as reference, iPad and stylus, and laptop and graphic design software.
Greeting Cards
This initial set of five greeting cards will be sold individually at select Minnesota retailers. 5×7 folded blank cards printed on 110# felt (bright white) with white eggshell envelopes.
Dragonfly on Hosta Blossoms
Dragonflies aren’t just amazing aerodynamic flyers, they eat all the annoying bugs we don’t want around, namely mosquitos and flies. I rejoice when I see the dragonflies have arrived!
They also don’t seem to mind human company. I’ve often had one land on me or nearby when I’m sitting at our campsite or in our canoe.
Wild Blueberries
One of the best things about hiking in mid-summer in northern Minnesota is finding ripe wild blueberries along the trail.
These tiny berries start white, turn pink and then eventually deep blue once they ripen. You can distinguish them from other non-edible blue berries by their tell-tale “crown.”
Cottage Lupine
Minnesota’s North Shore is bursting with color when the lupine bloom in late spring and very early summer. They’re a common sight along Highway 61.
While Minnesota has native wild lupine, this variety is apparently a runaway cultivated flower from the early days of white settlement. It’s much taller than it’s native cousin.
Autumn Maple Leaves
We’re fortunate to have several varieties of maple trees in Minnesota that help make fall everyone’s favorite season. Reds, oranges and yellows are all common.
Chickadee and Mountain Ash
The perky and delightful chickadee is always welcome, whether at our home bird feeders or at our campsite up north.
This little guy is shown on a mountain ash branch, heavy with its bright red berry clusters of late summer and fall.
