The architecture at the YMCA in downtown Harrisburg is amazing. This is the doorway that faces Front Street. The entire building is filled with beautiful craftsmanship.

A crowd of people in hats and winter jackets stand in State Street facing the Capitol as they listen to speakers. A large crowd stands on the steps and in the street carrying many kinds of signs. A man in the street carries a large white cardboard sign held high, topped with two small American flags. The boldly hand drawn letters of the sign read: BE Pretti 
Good At the top of the steps, a giant inflatable Liberty Bell has lettering reading: ‘NO ICE, NO Trump, NO Perry’ written across the beam attached to the top of the bell. No Kings 28 Mar 26, Harrisburg PA State Capitol steps.

No Kings 28 Mar 26, Harrisburg PA State Capitol steps.

Three rows of protestors on the Capitol steps surround a person in a bright green inflatable frog suit carrying an American Flag and ‘No Trump’ sign. The frog’s bulbous eye protrude from its head, making it appear to stare directly at protestor in the street in front of the steps. To the right of the frog, a man in a beach chair holds a large sign reading: ‘Regime Change Begins at Home’. No Kings 28 Mar 26, Harrisburg PA State Capitol steps.

A woman standing in State street facing the Capitol steps protestors holds a sign with bold black numbers printed on a bright orange background: The sign reads: 1934 + 1984 ———— 2026 The photo is focused on the woman and her sign, with the Capitol and protesters as a blurred image behind the sign.

Weekly Wednesday Wisdom - "If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with." - Dorothy Gale [Judy Garland] in The Wizard of Oz A portion of the quote above was utilized for the title of today's featured artwork, "Further Than My Own Backyard" is a 12x16" Mixed Media on Paper completed in February 2026. The original artwork is available for sale at https://www.craigscanvases.com/shop/p/further-than-my-own-backyard Please Note: This image may look familiar as we shared in about a month and a half ago with a post relating to it being in its work-in-progress state. At that time it was just pen-and-ink with watercolor washes defining the areas; but, has since been completed. Artist's Statement / Backstory: In the January posting I noted, 'You'll be able to see this finished artwork with more watercolor, oil pastel, colored pencil, and/or marker!' Thankfully it is completed and on a day sooner, rather than later! The overall composition is the same; although, areas have been more well defined, values added, and the artwork completed with more watercolor, colored pencil, and marker. As I sat working on this piece, I was originally drawn to do something more yoga-based with 'heart center.' As I spent more time with it, I continued to feel pulled toward the Wizard of Oz which ultimately won out for the title instead! Quick Preview: We're not neglecting paying homage to yogas as yoga's going to be featured in a big way very soon; so, stay tuned!

Snowy Site #13 Stop - There's snow on the ground; but, that just made it more of an adventure! We recently trekked our way around Wildwood Park to visit Site #13 which will be the home of our 2026 Art in the Wild Installation! Earlier this month, we were informed our proposal for this year's theme of 'Balance' was accepted and soon we'll need to get to work creating our installation! The kick-off meeting occurs this Saturday and then work will begin! There is just a little over three weeks of work-time from the meeting to when the installation must be completed; so, please put in a good word with the weather for us! The snow won't be our friend to bring our vision to life; but, it will probably melt soon enough and then we can get going!!

Our first scheduled session for Creative Arts in 2026 was cancelled due to snow; but, thankfully the rain, snow, and mix of wintry precipitation held off long enough yesterday that it wasn't two in a row! This was the first time in over three months that we were able to create an artwork as part of a worship service. [The canvas was initially prepared for last month with the accompanying sketch from January's rehearsal]. We're so thankful for our ability and to share our artwork with The Journey Church community. It feels like it's been too long since we were part of worship; but, we know there will be more coming up in the near future! Speaking of the future, we'll be sharing the artwork [and probably the sketch too] in the coming weeks; so, stay tuned for that! In the meantime we hope you're staying safe and warm with our most recent Snowy Sunday into Monday!

The weather is unpredictable; yet, people get paid money to do it! The last time we were to be creating an artwork as part of worship we got snow and there's more forecasted for this Sunday; so, who knows?!?! We're going about pretending like we're not going to get snowed in [or at least as not as much snow as the last time] so that we'll have service this week! The details are that we are scheduled to be part of the Worship Team this coming Sunday, February 22, 2026 at both the 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM Services. You're [who are reading this posting] are welcome to attend those services held at The Journey Church located at 750 South 29th Street, Harrisburg, PA 17111. Ultimately if you can't make it and/or the weather doesn't work in our favor; more will be forthcoming in 2026 and/or we'll share all the artwork we create with you here on social media, too!

Second Snowy Sunday?!?!

“Life is a garden, not a road. We enter and exit through the same gate. Wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice.” ― Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle The title for today's featured artwork is pulled directly from the first sentence of the quote above, "Life Is A Garden, Not A Road!" is a 12x12" Colored Pencil on Paper from February 2026. [The original artwork is available @ https://www.craigscanvases.com/shop/p/life-is-a-garden-not-a-road] This artwork has been in a sketchbook, with about half a dozen partially completed works, that we've recently began working to get completed! Most of them were started in the latter portion of 2025 and were left to sit as other things for the holiday season took precedence. In cleaning things up to get ready for some changes in the studio, we rediscovered the book and have recently set about getting​ all the artworks completed. Artist's Statement / Backstory: This artwork was started next to a sketch for an artwork that has already been turned into a painting. We started with the bright lime green to define some areas and then began adding in a few other colors. As we worked we realized there was an area that took the form of a bird, another had a sort of mountain outline, and one other space that looked like some wings. It's always amazing the way the free-form lines of our subconscious create familiar objects and shapes. This was a fun piece to start and stop as the colors we used last fall seemed even brighter and more vibrant during the dull winter days. The next problem to address would be a title; but, when we stopped for lunch one day last week a dear friend posted the quote you see above and that's how it all came to be!
