Colorado ~ A Joyful December…

Happy Holidays! It has been a fun filled and very busy December here in Colorado! Holiday Season has been magical, so many creative displays of holiday lights in the neighborhoods. I have never seen anything so extravagant in my lifetime, these Coloradoans really love to decorate! Winter has arrived with many days of snow cascading over the Rockies. In between the cold and frigid days, we have had some spring like days too! The temperature fluctuations here are bizarre. Just last week we had minus 50 wind chill and then the next day it was 50 degrees and sunny! Layering is the way of the land, when it comes to wardrobe! I enjoyed so many fun visits with friends, for lunch and dinner, birthday celebrations, a Chanukah party, tree lighting in Olde Town, and so much more!

I got to visit a few other areas too, I call them the “L Towns”, Longmont and Louisville. I have been to Loveland a few years ago, so I have only one “L Town” left to explore, in Lyons. I had fun baking my favorite holiday treats, and sharing them with new friends. We had a new housemate for the holiday season, a life size Grinch has been hanging out, and he changed his mindset, and now loves Christmas. I made him a heart for his transformation to being a happy loving Grinch! I have picked out some photos to document this busy month.

Nature has been my elixir here in Colorado for the past 9 months, and I am so grateful to live in such a glorious place. I have been walking my favorite labyrinth, making hearts in the snow, and enjoying all the open spaces and parks in the area. There is one more day in December before the New Year begins. My plans are to go snowshoeing with a good friend, I am looking forward to giving it a try! I bought myself some hiking boots for Christmas, so now I am really an official Colorado woman! It will be a fun way to say so long to 2022, and welcome in the New Year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Gratitude & Colorado November Nature Adventures…

The month of November I spent an enormous amount of time out in nature, deliciously walking in the crisp snow, drawing snow hearts along my path. Yes, even though it is still autumn here in Colorado, we have had a few snow days already! I enjoyed a heartfelt Thanksgiving with new friends, and am so grateful for the new memories created.

I have begun to gather many nature photographs for my first Colorado PhotoArt Calendar. I have taken so many photos, the editing process has become mind-numbing!!! So far I have chosen these 12 in the collage below, but I’m sure the final published calendar will include other favorites in the coming weeks. Many of these photos are available on my website at Fine Art America.

I have designed a collage of Denver street art/graffiti that a friend has shared with me from his many photo excursions. It will be a surprise gift as these have been photos sent over the past nine months, now incorporated into a collage.

Here are a few collages of more glorious nature walks in November and hearts that I am inspired to draw in the Colorado snow. I also find them created by Mother Nature!

I wish everyone a wonderful Holiday Season enjoying all the festivities with friends and family. I hope you get out and breathe the fresh air, take some nature walks, and if you are inspired, draw some hearts in the snow, or in the sand, depending on where you live! Keep an eye out for the serendipity hearts already designed by Mother Nature!

Happy HEART’s Day & Thank You Universe!

Colorado Dreamin’ by Mars 2018

It’s Valentine’s Day, or as I like to say: HEART’s Day! Either way, it is a Happy Day, and is my favorite time of the year, since I am known as Mars “The HEART Lady” after all! Often I find myself going on what I like to call: Heart Hunts, where I find favorite heart shaped treasures, especially a few days after Valentine’s Day, when they are on sale! This year is a bit different though, instead of finding heart shaped treasures, I have found something that I’ve been looking for with all my HEART for the past 9 months, and dreaming about for the past 48 years!

I do believe in miracles, in divine timing, in manifestation prayers with the Universe, and synchronicity for sure! I like to say that the “best is yet to come”, and in this situation I could never have guessed the exact timing of it happening on my favorite day of the year, and on my nine month anniversary living in New York. I have found my next Home Sweet Home in Colorado! I will be starting a new chapter and adventure on March 1st! I feel as if these past nine months were a very challenging gestation period, and I have finally given birth to my dream. Living in New York was only a temporary plan, a bridge, a transitionary time in my life, due to the unfortunate circumstance of having to leave Sedona unexpectedly during the height of the pandemic. Some wonderful memories have been created during our nine month family chapter, but now we go back to our preferred areas. For 45 years we have lived miles apart, my brother on the East Coast and me on the West Coast, or in that direction! I’m sure there will be future visits to look forward to.

Ever since the summer of 1974 when I took a cross country trip throughout Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, I have wanted to live in Colorado one day. It found it’s way into my heart and never left. I visited many times, but the timing just wasn’t right for a relocation. I guess the Universe always knew I would live there one day? I have always loved the quote by Marsha Norman: “Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.” and my own quote: “Dreams are flowers that bloom in your soul”. I have been Colorado Dreamin’ for so long, and now all is coming to fruition and blooming! I know it won’t be perfect, many things are not the same as they were 48 years ago, but the Rocky Mountains are still there in their majesty, and that is where my heart wants to be.

Thank you Universe & Happy HEART’s Day 2022!

Original Paintings & Digital Art Collage by MARS 2021

Celebrating this 365th day in 2021 with some of my favorite creations in this collage! Original Acrylic Paintings and Digital Art Creations by MARS, completed in Sedona, Arizona and New York. In early 2021 while living in Sedona, I was inspired to paint three canvases, entitled: New Dawn/Inauguration, Blossom Heart, and Hope Springs Eternal/Jacaranda Tree. I also completed a project in New York entitled Rock Art Abstracts, and did a few other digital creations. Not included in this collage are a few fun watercolor paintings attempted in an en plein air autumn workshop.

Now I am looking forward to 2022 to see the next 365 days of inspiration that arises in my heart & soul! See you later 2021…..it has been challenging for so many, let’s hope 2022 will be a year filled with abundance, prosperity and pandemic free.
