WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT ?

First of all, let me explain my blog title:
Raleigh - INSIDE&OUT.

If you were born in the old Rex Hospital in the early 50's like I was, you weren't born INSIDE the Beltline. You were just born and lived IN Raleigh. Period.

It wasn't until the early 80's, when the Cliff Benson Beltline was finished that homes and their residents and pets were assigned the titles "Born Inside The Beltline" or "All Those Other People," otherwise known as "Outside The Beltline."

As a result, at the ripe old age of 30-something, I became an Inside The Beltliner through no fault of my own except being born to parents that owned a home on St. Mary's Street.

So, now let me explain what you'll be doing here. You will be following my journey, through sketching and lettering, while I meander Inside and Outside the Beltline.

I'm new at this, so I hope I either give you inspiration to try your hand at it as well, a boost to your ego because you've found someone who's not as good as you are (yet), or at least a good laugh!

In any case, come with me. Be my passenger. And let's enjoy this journey together!!

Sunflower - ITB Highland United Methodist Church




At one point in my life I focused on photography while at the same time learning calligraphy. I thought I needed to choose between the two. Now that I am endeavoring to be a journaling artist, I find that I can go back to my photography to take images of what I want to watercolor later.

This image is digitally manipulated to look like this, obviously! My husband volunteers at the Community Garden at the Highland United Methodist Church on Ridge Road, so I thought I'd pack up my camera paraphernalia and get in some shots.

I will probably be throwing in some images in my posts from time to time. If you want to see more of some of my favorite photographs that I've taken, you can see them on my Kerrlligraphy Flickr page.
