Walking to Work

Yesterday was my day off so I didn’t go to work at all, but if I had, I would have celebrated this walk to work day that Bing announced (screenshot in my featured image). As a worker in a fully distributed company (Automattic, Inc), I work anywhere I have Internet. Frequently from the passenger side […]

Pretty and Tasty Coffee

My daughter-in-law is completely into the science of coffee. How lucky did I get? When we visit, she uses us as testers. Chris fell completely in love with the flat white coffees she made. I loved the texture and taste as well, but my sweet tooth was even more enamored with the peppermint/caramel concoction she […]

Reblog – Inspirational Thought

It doesn’t take much. So do it. Ask if they need help. Ask if they are okay. Give a compliment. Have that chat. It does not take anything away from you… via One Random Act — A Momma’s View

This Year’s Christmas Design

The 2017 Christmas decoration came out like this. I was not very excited about it this time. The design usually comes from the forms of recent artwork projects. This year more time was spent packing and moving art than making it. So, it makes sense that this is an old shape with a little holiday […]

Fifteen Years of Christmas Gift Making

Somehow the Christmas gifts for last year were not documented in this blog. They were done on time for distributing to their various locations. There were about 50 made this year. Santa’s workshop! This week there was some time to get ahead on the Christmas gift design for this year. The next idea is pretty […]

Lisbon Roosters

Roosters seem to be everywhere. Recent trips abroad have proven the popularity of the rooster motif as seen in homes, shops, advertisements, graffiti, glassware, jewelry, sculpture, painting….. Yes, even ChristopherPollockArt has made and sold a few rooster pieces. During this trip to Lisbon, Portugal, there is time to do some artwork while my wife meets […]

Robin’s Cabin

This post is mainly to try out the new theme. We are traveling at the moment and there is plenty of time to play with WordPress. Getting far away from most of “it all” is allowing opportunities to focus on the projects that are more portable and intrinsic than recent workloads. Before marriage and children […]

Lost Artist

What happened? If you follow my wife’s blog chrissie.blog you know that this summer we have moved from our Western New York home of 25 years to my mother’s family home of 70+ years in Northern New York . Also, all three of our children pretty much left the nest in June.(Coincidentally all on the […]

Delighting in Technology

Back when I was a girl, people rarely talked to others outside their town. You either saw each other face to face or talked on the telephone. Calling outside your area (long distance) was reserved for emergencies. When I was in college 50 miles away, I dropped my parents a note in the mail if […]

Three Resets!

Three big resets fell on the same day. So far, the outcomes are good. My brother Bob had a pacemaker implanted, and Beth let the family know he was doing well. It was only two hours from the time they took him until he was back in his room. He will spend one night in […]

15-Hour Spring Break

We set off for South Carolina, seeing snow on the mountain tops around us. There were even a few cars coming down from higher elevations that had snow icing on their tops. The further south we drove, the more advanced the evidence of Spring. I was shedding layers all along the way. We met John’s […]

Post Announcement – Spring!

I think John said it was 49F (9.4C) degrees when we went out to walk. All I know for sure is that my spring jacket had to come off. The neighbors near the stop sign had given me permission to borrow their mail post until I came back from the creek. What life-savers they are! […]

April? Where are You?

We had instantly-melting snow last night, so I didn’t expect to see anything unusual today. The mountains are trying to teach me to take nothing for granted. We set out for Tennessee on the interstate highway. There was rime ice on some of the steeper mountains. It was a bit late in the season to […]
