Warm Hello!

Introduction & Invitation

Waves from my gardens —-picture taken in late fall—the time of year when I squeeze in every precious moment I can find before my gardens succumb to frost and winter begins.

Welcome to my new Blog; a companion to my Studio News and Website! I’m Debbie Lamey-MacDonald, an artist, writer, retired teacher, gardener and mom. The sole inspiration for my work is derived from spending great quantities of time immersed in nature. It’s where I find peace, balance and a rhythm that keeps me grounded when life feels like it is whirling about. If you are a nature lover, I bet you can relate!

So what will this Blog be about you ask? Why subscribe? Well one of my biggest reasons for beginning this Blog is to grow a caring community of nature & art lovers. People who love spending time in nature; observing, being curious, finding peace, nurturing gardens and a general overall love for nature.

It’s also for people who love viewing the art making process, imbuing their homes with nature related artwork and for art lovers in general. I truly believe we all need to reconnect with nature in order to find balance in a world that seems to be dominated by a race against time!

What will I be sharing with you? Oh I have a full agenda! wink, wink All my posts will stem from my direct involvement and participation with mother nature. This will be an ever evolving list but here are a few ideas of what I have planned:

~Paintings being developed from life outdoors in various locations

~Botanical sketches drawn from living subjects

~Short video clips of works in progress

~Glimpses into my Nature Journal/ Sketchbooks

~Inspirational Writings often completed outdoors while on location

~Sharing of books —about art, gardens, nature and human development

~New Available Work on my Website

~And more topics as both this Blog and Nature Loving Community evolves!

And lastly, I’ve been searching for a long while for a platform that side stepped the bustle of social media. A space where time slows down a bit and we can share with each other without being distracted from mindless scrolling. I’m excited for the potential here on this quieter space.

I love that I can share my thoughts and ideas with you directly to your inbox. Soooo on that note I would love to have you join me by Subscribing below. I would be so honored to have you as a subscriber where we share ideas and a love of nature and art! Let’s grow a nurturing, joyful community where we let nature take the lead to a more meaningful state of being!

P.S. In my next post I will chat a bit more about my intentions for this blog with regards to subscription levels and add to my introduction. Chat soon!

Please feel free to say hello and introduce yourself in the comments below. Who are you? An artist, art collector, art lover, nature lover etc. I would love to hear!

Warmly,

Debbie xx
