Day 137 • Something Beautiful 2022: The Money View
Something Beautiful is the resurrection of a 2014 initiative to find a visual feast for each day of the year. Allergies and a really ambitious week knocked me off my feet yesterday, so I’m catching up with one more image today. This is what artists and photographers would call a “money view.” From the top…

Day 136 • Something Beautiful 2022: The lupine
Something Beautiful is the resurrection of a 2014 initiative to find a visual feast for each day of the year. About a month ago, I was hiking a beautiful stretch of Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail with my friend, Tina. Besides being a beautiful hike, we were enthralled with a great show of spring wildflowers.

Something Beautiful is the resurrection of a 2014 initiative to find a visual feast for each day of the year. Yesterday afternoon I finished cleaning and polishing the new mosaic from Art Camp at Moon Lake. In the evening, I carefully masked the mosaic and painted the frame. This morning, voila!

Day134 • Something Beautiful 2022: Fog Bank
Something Beautiful is the resurrection of a 2014 initiative to find a visual feast for each day of the year. Another Wolf Kahn.

Day 131 • Something Beautiful 2022: The colors of Wolf Kahn
Something Beautiful is the resurrection of a 2014 initiative to find a visual feast for each day of the year. Descriped a a modernist whose work is a blend of realism, color field and Rothko’s banded color, Wolf Kahn’s work is color on steroids. Intense, perfect hue and value selection — vibrant, dynamic.

Day 130 • Something Beautiful 2022: Itoh All That Jazz
Something Beautiful is the resurrection of a 2014 initiative to find a visual feast for each day of the year. The variegated petals are spectacular as they sink into the deep magenta at the inside of the bloom. Ah me, I may need to adore its $59.99 per root beauty from afar.

Day 128 • Something Beautiful 2022: Tulip La Belle Epoque
Something Beautiful is the resurrection of a 2014 initiative to find a visual feast for each day of the year. With the irises coming in, I am focused now on the sole ruby red peony that is covered with buds. I tried adding a “sister” last year, but she sadly succumbed to the Wisconsin winter.…

Day 127 • Something Beautiful 2022: The heirloom irises
Something Beautiful is the resurrection of a 2014 initiative to find a visual feast for each day of the year. Irises are connected to the gardens of my childhood and I admit to a romantic weakness for them. Pale periwinkle irises and lily of the valley made up my wedding bouquet. I’ve collected irises from…
