Going out to see these cats in a couple of hours and I can't WAIT! I love to turn this one up, close my eyes and just let it wash over me. So good!

![“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!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5m64ly2e37c6uhrukospoqd/bafkreief7m5y6kxpbikwhscffj2rivzla3wf75qidn4pfzgzb77b2iwp3u)

I never read it, but I saw it quoted enough that I read the synopsis for #Vonnegut 's #CatsCradle. I was struck by the idea of #HarmlessUntruths:
"Live by the harmless untruths that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy."

More Vonnegut. Wit. Sarcasm galore…. Just a innately funny writer. Absolutely LOVED this one. Might convert to Bokononism #catscradle #vonnegut #booksky 💙📚

Throw me a cord and plug it in
Get the Cradle rocking
Out with the redneck pig old men
And it's gold

Book cover: A man and woman stand looking at huge fire across the whole bare landscape they can see. Text: KURT VONNEGUT CAT'S CRADLE OUT OF THIS WORLD -VONNEGUT'S CHILLING NOVEL OF GLOBAL DESTRUCTION
Old school reading today.
Surely humans aren't stupid enough to deliberately create something that can destroy the earth, our home? Ahem!

Your fingers, archaic agricultural arthritic, conjure a cat’s eye from the string. With pincers, I approach. Our fingers wrestle until a perfect fish emerges from the hopeless tangle of us.

Erixëa, a character from my brother's fantasy YA saga. She's a mongolian, magician and The Best Girl. :D
She does magic with strings, like Cat’s Cradle, this game we played when we were kids. ^^

Artist brain from starting a drawing to the final piece can be weird! With this one I started with a simple teen girl in a hoodie playing #catscradle but it evolved from there with the cat thyme I added to the cat ears! Before I knew it I had a fully fleshed out character for my story! #art #kitty

And this was a re-read about 31 years after the first time. A timely reminder that when the end of the world comes it will probably be faintly ridiculous. #vonnegut #catscradle
