A Giant of a Sign

The world's largest Amoco sign - at least, that's what they tell me. On the corner of Clayton Rd. and Skinker, St Louis, MO ... will wonders never cease? LOL (I thought the use of b and w gave this more of an artsy, vintage look =) xoxo everyone!

Greenville Clock - Greenville Illinois

After the rain ... the folks in Greenville are very proud of their historic clock...I was quite reminded of Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future, and the clock that was so important in that film. Anyway, Greenville is a great little midwestern town - very friendly and welcoming =)

Shutterchance

A couple of photographers I admire greatly (namely Patrushka and Leonard) have photoblogs set up at Shutterchance. Anyway, I have started a new photoblog over there which will emphasize my photography, while this blog will continue to show more of my abstract art. Let's see how that goes =) Here's my link: http://peggigraminski.shutterchance.com/ - please stop by and give it a peek, I will try and post a pic a day on there as my goal. xxoo

Two More for Tonight

The red door of my old church in St. Louis - even when I was little I can still remember - the door was always red ... anyway, another "spur-of-the-minute drive-by" shot, but I liked the abstractness that gave to the image.
One of the two lion statues that stands at the opening to University City - the main thing I liked about this one was that the setting sun (and the complete lack of any planning) gave the pic a nice antique look. Lucky shot! =)

St Louis Reflections

I believe this is probably my fav pic - yeah, it's a simple drive-by and of course my arm is there, but the green of the grass and shade from the trees, and the beautiful homes and flowers, are all summed up in this pic. (again, more to come, but I had to get this one on here before I did anything else LOL) xxoo!

Pics from recent trip to St. Louis and Illinois

Moving? ...

Well, yes by golly, we finally found out where we might be moving - and the lucky state is ..... Illinois! So cool to be returning to the Midwest after so many years in Arizona =)

Anyway, I will know more details this week and will post them then ... in the meantime you can always check out my MySpace (the link here on the right hand side) for more up-to-date moving info.

Love you all - seriously! ~ Peggi

Modernism II

The children are our future ...

Arizona Cowgirl

This one is similar to one I did back in October, I believe ... anyway, my family and I went to Tombstone this weekend to take in the gunfight show (loved seeing Nick, Erik, Martha - and meeting some of the new actors too =). So I thought I'd do an AZ style collage in honor of our state's interesting history (and yes indeed, those are the beauuuuutiful Huachuca Mountains in the background.) xxoo

But Who is Watching the Children?

Sorry folks, a little bit eerie/dark themed this time - but I figured since it was all I could come up with recently I might as well post it. xxoo

"Gone Fishin'"

Well, just wanted to stop in and say that I am going to be taking a bit of a break from my artwork for a while - actually I guess I've simply lost my motivation to create and I am experiencing what appears to be a definite "creative slump". Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the desire to do something I've never done before and I just can't quite figure out how to do it, but I have some deadlines I have to meet and right now they have to take priority.

Anyway, I will keep the blog up and running - and if you stop by please say hello. Hope everyone is having a nice summer. Bless you all, my friends...xxoo

Hope everyone has a happy & safe one! xoxo

Forever Longing ...

Seventeen years ago today (time really flies when you're a parent LOL) my husband and I welcomed into the world our beautiful, smart, and amazing daughter, Lisa ... hope you have a terrific day, sweetie! ~ Love, Mom
