We have moved!

Thank you for dropping by! There are ten years of blog posts about art, artists, and the art life that will live here if you would like to linger and check out past posts. As of July 2017, however, we are located at an active website and blog at dianemoline.com OR oneredchairstudio.com. (Either one will get you there.) I hope you will subscribe to notification of blog posts while you are there.  Your email address is safe with me! If you enjoy it, please spread the word. It's always nice to have company! 

"Painting a Garden Table" and "These Are the Days," two of the videos you'll find on our website. Enjoy, and find more at dianemoline.com, along with frequent blog posts, a mountain of resources and links, a gallery of artwork, a shop, a fountain of ideas for the artful life...have I run out of architectural references yet? 

Best Friends: a 2018 calendar has arrived

Hello, friends. I am sending you to the new site to see a preview video of the just-published doggie calendar I produced as the second 2018 calendar, which idea I must have gotten in some amazing spurt of energy that I have now depleted for awhile. Just kidding. Sort of.

I am pretty proud of both calendars and hope you will go look at them and consider purchasing one. I think you will find them unique and artful.

I am hoping you will consider moving on to the new site and bookmarking the new one to replace this blogspot site. While the archives are still here from 2008,  I have opened a new shop, a new site, and a new blog at www.dianemoline.com, which you can also reach at www.oneredchairstudio.com (no "blogspot" at the end of the latter.) I am only touching base at this blogspot site once a week or so to let you know about new things. I am trying to increase the readership and subscription list and would love if you would join, if  you already haven't. I do not give or share in any way my mailing list and do not use it for any other purpose.

If you love the artful life,
or enjoy seeing amazing or creative endeavors by all kinds of artists,
if you would like hearing about delightful surprises in everyday life,
if you are always looking for new inspiration and ideas for your own home or artful adventures,
if you like having an opportunity to see unique items (mine and other artists, too)...

then I think you will enjoy my website. When you have a chance in  your busy life, a tour through the whole site, not just the blog, might pleasurably surprise you. It is still growing and new things are added weekly.  There's lots there! I hope to see you there.

WHat's new...

 There's a NEW post or two at the NEW site and a NEW Daily Amazing. Just to whet your appetite:

All r recycled cardboard!  Pretty Amazing.  Read more. 

Best Friends...coming soon

Wander over to the new blog site to see a preview page from the 2nd 2018 calendar: Best Friends, Dogs We Love to Love. 

While you're there, consider subscribing to the newer blog and site to get immediate notices of posts. I sure would love to have you on the mailing list for that purpose (only.) 

The 2018 Calendar, Hula Hoops and Howdy Doodies, is ready and at the shop! You can see a video and details over at the new site and blog.

Calendar Countdown

Hope you'll mosey on over to the blog and new site to see the first of peeks into the 2018 Baby Boomer Toys and Joys calendar. It will be available for purchase on the site and Etsy beginning Oct. 16.  It will be followed within a few weeks by a second calendar "Dogs" (working title!) which will be in the same 5 x7 format as previous calendars.

There are also some new posts and new Daily Amazings in the Paper Series. Please consider a visit! The door is always open!

New items at the blog:  A video memory of magic days on Lopez Island, an update on the new blue crayon, two picture books, and a few other odds and ends. And, on the site, a new Daily Amazing series, this one on PAPER, and new Artists Who Inspire Me.  Find it all here.

Crayons Are a Gateway Drug

So begins the latest post on my love of Crayolas which, it turns out, is shared by many. C'mon...who doesn't love the simple crayon?  Over at the new site and blog: dianemoline.com

Not me, actually...but it coulda been. Add mid-century wallpaper. 

Chairs Are a Map of a Family, Laid Back on Lopez, Build  Yourself a Strong Box, You Can Travel to Switzerland, Too Soon for Pumpkins....

These are some of the blog posts since you last visited the new web site. There is also a series in Daily Amazing featuring amazing (yes, amazing!) art in miniature format. And an updated Artists Who Inspire page.

Do come over to catch up! dianemoline.com or oneredchairstudio.com. It's the same place either way!

Inspiration in a bottle?

A couple of blog posts,  updated pages with links to favorite artists, and new Daily Amazings in the "miniature" series are over at the new blog. 

There's also a call for your loved pup to be on calendar pages. Come join us.

A new book and a growing page...

highlighted at the post over HERE.

 You see this page by clicking to All Things Arts in the "ladder" contents upper left corner of the site.

Show me a day...

Recently, though, I remind myself quite often that things can change in an instant ...

some thoughts on a book about living and dying.  HERE. 

Some Annoyances and Some Pleasures

By now, if  you previously had subscribed to the blog, you should be getting emails that take you directly to the new blog. If you aren't, I would love to know it, since I will not be updating this blog anymore one day soon. And I don 't want to lose you! I appreciate your support very much.

New posts and a happy little monkey at the new blog here.

There are three new blog posts and two new Daily Amazings over at the new site. Where have you been?   Do come over.

These Are the Days

There's  a video of personal memories in my homage to summer over at the new website. Come on over!

Announcing the birth of...

my radishes!   A bit of opinion on gardening and the joy of watching things grow. And a teeny watercolor posted yesterday at the new site.

Be sure to double click each daily photo on the All Posts page. That will take you to the full blog post where there are more photos and text.

I like this place.

Today, find random shots of the studio...HERE.

My pile of books gets taller and taller....

Two new posts: discovery of a new local place and books I am reading and are waiting for me.
Here or here: www.oneredchairstudio.com

A wolf in ink's clothing

I created a short video of the growth of our backyard. Also, at the Daily Amazing page (find it at the 3-line ladder top left)...a video of lovely ink drawing as the artist is creating it. Watch the magic.

A reminder that I will not be posting here sometime after August 1, although this blog will stay as is.
For all new posts and website pages, I hope you'll subscribe over at dianemoline.com or oneredchairstudio.com. Both roads lead to the same place.
