The city of Woodbine is the county seat of Camden County in the state of Georgia (USA). The US Census of 2020 counted a little over a thousand residents. The town is located on the shore of the Satilla River which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. T... 

Before joining Fine Art America I hadn’t thought of everyday infrastructure items as being art. But Industrial Art, as it’s called, seems to be very popular. Hotel rooms and lobbies tend to display many photographs of old, wood or rusty metal i... 

How many of you have a button collection? Maybe you have a button jar or box? I’m not sure why I keep all those extra buttons that come with shirts and blouses but I do. Those buttons are sent with your garment so you will have a matching one if... 

Last November I wrote a blog post titled In Your Own Backyard. It was basically about finding beauty where you are as opposed to going out looking for it. This week I learned that lesson again but it was out our front door this time. We had an en... 

This week’s image was a photograph taken in Charleston South Carolina (USA). My sister is on a river cruise on the southeastern coast of the United States and boarded her ship in Charleston, South Carolina. Her cruise reminded me that I had visited... 

The Shoals is a nickname for the area on the Tennessee River that includes Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia and Sheffield Alabama. This week’s challenge image was taken at the Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa. The water feature in the image is one o... 

This past weekend my husband gave me a birthday party in our former hometown which is also my “Happy Place”. I invited my girlfriends who live in different parts of the country. Three girlfriends drove several hours through three states and one... 

This week’s post highlights the cute train tanker car in Saint Marys, Georgia. The tanker car was permanently parked behind the former train station. The front of the tanker had been painted to resemble a face with eyes that included eyelashes and... 

In last week’s blog I told about a Saturn Sky automobile that had a Ferrari emblem on the hood and elsewhere. This week’s image was a photograph that was taken of the Saturn’s front wheel and tire. There is a Ferrari emblem on the wheel and a F... 

The image that I posted for this week’s challenge was what I thought was a photograph of a Ferrari. I’m not familiar with expensive automobiles so I was fascinated that a Ferrari would be parked in a Golden Corral parking lot. After taking sever... 

The challenge image that I posted this week was taken in the morning after a winter storm a few weeks ago. There are only a few items in the photograph but it seems that there is actually as much or more to see or wonder about than many photographs t... 

Many of you who read my blogs know that I am participating in a Weekly Art Challenge (Theme: The World Outside). This week I also participated in a three day challenge (Theme: Buttons). Even those who know me but don’t read my blogs know that I re... 

What is pareidolia? It is the tendency to see faces and other objects in patterns or photographs. Rorschach’s inkblot test is based on this tendency. It’s usually caused by the way light shines or reflects off of objects such as rocks, although ... 

Although the sun does not shine as often or as bright during the winter here in the Northern Hemisphere as it does in the other seasons, there are clear days when the sun shines all day. In the middle of the day the shadows caused by interrupted sunb... 

It was Autumn. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years came and went. Then Winter arrived with a vengeance! Today’s featured image shows a small buildup of snow on an outdoor resin chair seat. That little bit of snow when the first flakes fell was a... 

I found this brown, weathered oak leaf leaning against the concrete splash block at the end of a downspout. Autumn has passed and winter is well underway. But this leaf, left over from the autumn breezes, cannot travel with the wind any longer as it... 

This week’s blog post will highlight one of my favorite photographs taken at the Official Alabama Renaissance Faire 2023. The festival was set up in downtown Florence in Wilson Park. Several areas were designated as music venues and several differ... 

My favorite Christmas tradition from my childhood was riding around looking at Christmas Light displays. This year we spent time riding around a few neighborhoods in Muscle Shoals, Alabama (USA) on Christmas Eve viewing lights, blow up characters and... 

The new laptop arrived a day later than expected but it was delivered, unpacked, plugged in, turned on, connected to the net and registered. Several people told me how great a machine it is (I’m typing on it now) and that it would last me many yea... 

As I write this post, I am waiting for FedEx to deliver my new laptop. It was ordered a few days ago after literally years of research, confusion and indecision. The laptop I’m using now is over 10 years old. It is almost full of programs, docume... 

Today’s post is about one of my favorite images, Nature’s Watercolor. We have a 16 x 20 canvas printed with today’s featured image hanging in a bedroom in our apartment and last week end this same image sold twice in a Christmas Market in Flor... 

When I suggested that we visit the Official Alabama Renaissance Faire my husband asked me what to expect. Neither of us had ever been to one of these festivals but I had seen images on television and in print. Thinking that I knew what these fairs ... 

Today’s blog post is the second in a series about our visit to the 2023 Alabama Renaissance Faire. Last week’s post was about the gentleman portraying the Italian astronomer Galileo. This week’s post is about a gentleman acting as a wizard. ... 

The official Alabama Renaissance Faire is held each October in Florence, Alabama (USA). The city was named after Florence, Italy, considered one of the cultural centers of the historic Renaissance period and where many believe the Renaissance Period ... 

Technically we don’t have a backyard. We live in an apartment complex and have a back patio. Beyond the patio is a narrow area of grass and then a privacy fence. Beyond the fence there is a vacant field and a wooded area on two sides of that fie... 

As many of you already know, the past few weeks have found me experimenting with different settings on my camera. You also know that it has been a frustrating experience for me. However, even though I will need to continue to experiment, practice a... 

While taking photographs of the sky on a partly cloudy day, I started seeing mystical creatures being formed! This was not the first time that I have witnessed animals appearing in the sky disguised as clouds. Going through my photography archives,... 

Week Six of the 52 week Art Challenge (The World Outside) contained an image of a morning sky. We live on a hill surrounded by tall trees. Our sunrise is actually about 45 minutes to an hour later than the official sunrise. The morning the photogr... 

Last week I talked about experimenting with my camera but not using a notebook to write down the different settings I was using. I have been taking pictures for the One Image A Week For 52 Weeks Personal Art Challenge that was using the theme The Wo... 

If you have been following my blog posts about the 52 Week Personal Art Challenge you may remember the notebook suggestion. The suggestion was to carry a notebook and write down what camera settings you are using when learning how to use the camera ... 

As this new-year long art challenge continues, so does my experimenting and learning about the different settings on my camera. I’ve been very frustrated that I have a single lens reflex camera with two lenses and an array of settings and I still ... 

There are pros and cons to using a tripod in photography but there are times when it’s absolutely necessary to produce the type of image desired. Several weeks ago I bought a new tripod. This is the third tripod I have owned. They are/were all i... 

Are you a worrier? Do storms cause you stress? Are those weather storms or issues in life that we metaphorically call storms that might cause you stress? Unfortunately I tend to be a worrier and even the smallest life issue can cause me stress. L... 

Kathy is not in the Kathy From KeppenArt office this week. Be sure and watch for a new blog post next week! 

In last week’s blog post I talked about salt being used as currency in different parts of the world since ancient times. The featured image for that post was one that I had created for a Fine Art America Personal Art Challenge with the theme being... 

I participated in yet another personal art challenge on Fine Art America this past weekend. The theme for this challenge was Wealth as stated in the challenge discussion: Images should portray wealth in some format. How is up to you. There were ma... 

At the end of June I wrote about the Dog Days of Summer. The last sentence of that post was: Let’s hope that this year’s Dog Days are short lived and people around the world are able to find relief from the heat until those stars realign and cool... 

How do you choose a new hometown? Maybe you are moving out of your parent’s home and want to relocate to a different city or state or even country. Maybe you are starting a new life or career and want to do that somewhere different than where we ... 

We were visiting St. Mary’s, Georgia (USA), a small coastal town on the St. Mary’s River. The river separates the states of Georgia and Florida in the Southeastern United States. Although it was late spring the sun was high in the sky and had he... 

Earlier this year during the first week of May, my husband and I were in southern Georgia (USA). Georgia is known as the Peach State and those fruits were coming into season while we were there. We knew there were several farm and produce stands in... 

In the image featured with this post we see a small statue sitting on top of a refrigerator and in front of the upper cabinets in a kitchen. The statue is made to look like a large, jolly cook. He wears a chef’s hat, an apron in a black and white c... 

What we see in the image accompanying this blog post are two dogs sleeping in the sun. One of the dogs is taking advantage of a pool float that provided cushioning from the hard gravel surface. There are beach towels and a lounging chair in the bac... 

This Tawny Daylily, sometimes considered an invasive plant, is waiting to be pollinated. Its stamens are reaching upwards, waiting for the wind or insects to complete the process. Over the years, this particular patch of flowers was transplanted fro... 

Today’s featured image is a photograph that was taken from a boat on the Jourdan River in Hancock County, Mississippi (USA). A quote from Henry David Thoreau, an American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher, was added to the image. From th... 

I participated in a new art challenge this week. The challenge was to write a description, story or poem about the subject, Paintbrush. I chose to write a poem. After completing the challenge I decided to create an image to go along with that poem... 

Today’s blog post reminds us to focus on the calmness in life. This is the description for the Focus On Blue Skies image: A pair of eyeglasses on a desk is reflecting a window across the room. The focus is on the blue sky showing through the win... 

My husband really likes Chinese food and I get tired of cooking, so about once a week he brings home Chinese takeout for supper. It’s an American tradition to end your Chinese meal with a fortune cookie, a crisp and sugary cookie wafer with a “f... 

The grass is always greener on the other side (of the fence). How many times in your life have you heard that idiom? What does it mean? Is it true? If you take that idiom literally it might be true. A former neighbor and I would complement each ... 

Everyone who knows me knows that I LOVE the beach. Sun, sand and surf are important elements of my happy place. I love the rhythmic sound of ocean waves, the feel of warm sun on my face and soft sand under my bare feet. Last week I was blessed to... 

A nap is basically a short period of sleep in addition to the normal nocturnal long(er) period of sleep. They usually take place during the day. Thousands of studies have been done on napping. The results that I found while researching Naps were ... 

We are two days away from Earth Day as I write this post. This year (2023) marks 53 years that this environmentally aware holiday has been celebrated. Most articles cite one particular man for the founding of Earth Day but research shows that there... 

Some of you who keep up with my blog posts will remember that earlier this year I embarked on a road trip to scout out possible retirement locations. The last possible retirement city that my friend and I visited was St. Marys, Georgia (USA). When w... 

Today’s post is similar to my Maundy Thursday post that I wrote and posted last year. The image however, is different and depicts the preparation for the Holy Day remembrance. Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter Sunday. It is a remembran... 

As I mentioned in last week’s blog post, participating in the Personal Art Challenge with a Reflection theme, I also did some reflecting about life. One of the images that I created was a reflection of a tulip bloom. My desire was to create a wat... 

This week the Personal Art Challenge on Fine Art America is all about reflections. The goal is to post new artwork each day and the art has to have a reflection showing in the image. The whole object of these challenges is to stretch our creativity... 

Today’s blog post is going to be about one of my recent images that was created for a Personal Art Challenge on Fine Art America (Theme: Kitchen). Some of you may have already seen this image and read the description. For those of you who haven't ... 

There is a five day personal art challenge on Fine Art America this week with a Kitchen Theme. In the past I participated in a similar challenge but that one was for Macro images from the kitchen. This week’s challenge did not have to be close up... 

Last week’s post described the famous Pineapple Fountain in the Joe Riley Waterfront Park in Charleston, South Carolina (USA). This week I’ll describe and show you the Jet Fountain. The multi-spray jet fountain in Joe Riley Park is located at th... 

In today’s blog post I will highlight one of two fountains found in Joe Riley Waterfront Park in Charleston, South Carolina (USA). Although these photographs were taken under less than ideal weather conditions, they will still give you an idea of t... 

My recent adventure contained more good than bad and I can now look back and laugh at some of the events. The Bad was the mistakes made and the uneasy, frustrating emotions churning in my spirit. The Good was the Blessings of safe travel and the p... 

I am writing this post on the 11th day of this present travel adventure. Some days I went with the flow easily and other days I felt like I was drowning, thrashing around and screaming for help (metaphorically speaking). My friend and navigator has... 

As I mentioned in last week’s blog post, I am on a new adventure in the form of a road trip. This new adventure includes learning to “go with the flow” and to trust the process, so to speak. I am extremely anxious about living on my phone (al... 

I am about to embark on another adventure. I will be traveling in the foreseeable future with a dear friend that I’ve known for quite some time. This will be a 1500 mile road trip. We are going to visit a few places in South Carolina. I’ve on... 

Some of us see the entire world in black and white. Some of us see a world of color. I’m not talking about literally seeing only black and white. As I understand it even people who are “color blind” actually see some color. I’m talking a... 

Do you see faces in inanimate objects?  Do you see the shape of animals in cloud formations? Maybe you see a face on a rock with “eyes” like the Wall Of Faces that I wrote about earlier. This perception, along with hearing hidden messages in ... 

Better late than never is one of the oldest English idioms. It emphasizes the importance of finishing a project even if it’s finished later than the original deadline. Well, today that is true of my weekly blog! As I was thinking about this idi... 

Do you wonder who lives in that blue house? Or the RV parked in the Mobile Home Park? Do you pass by any building without a visible sign or purpose and wonder what goes on inside that structure? Not that long ago we were passing through Eufaula,... 

Wind chill is the term used to measure what the outside temperature actually feels like to a human body when air (wind) blows on exposed skin. Everyone who knows me knows that I have a really hard time dealing with cold temperatures. As the SM meme... 

Did you know that there are hundreds of holidays in the month of December? Some holidays are religious, some national, some are monthly, weekly or daily holidays and many of these are “official” holidays, such as Christmas and Hanukkah. There ... 

There is a community garden on the Mississippi Gulf Coast affectionately called The Nourishing Place. It is Ruth’s Roots in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Before Hurricane Katrina the land where this garden is located was a business called The Cake... 

Casino hopping is a popular activity along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, especially when it’s cold and wet outside. During our recent stay on the coast, we only had sunlight on one day out of four. Three of those four days found us visiting two diff... 

I am writing this post the day before Thanksgiving (in the USA) as I think about how blessed I am. I may not have everything I want but I have more than everything I need. I am not homeless. Our apartment is heated in the winter and cooled in th... 

I’ve made several posts recently about an adventure I undertook in northern Alabama and southern Tennessee. This week I’m south of those foothills and am on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It is cold. It is cold in Alabama and it is cold in Mississ... 

In last week’s blog I wrote about The Wichahpi Commemorative Stone Wall, also known as Tom’s Wall that is a few miles out of Florence, Alabama (USA). The wall was built by Tom Hendrix as a memorial to his great-great grandmother who was one of t... 

In last week’s blog I told you that I went to the Wichahpi Commemorative Stone Wall, also known as Tom’s Wall as the last stop on my solo adventure along the Natchez Trace Parkway. The Parkway runs along part of the trail that the Indians were f... 

I wanted to explore part of the Natchez Trace Parkway this week but didn’t have anyone to go with me. The Parkway runs through mixed wood forests and I wanted to see if the trees were changing colors for autumn before the wind and rain that was ex... 

Tis the season for Pumpkin Spice! But wait – what exactly is pumpkin spice? Originally it was called pumpkin pie spice and was a combination of 4-9 spices used when making pumpkin pie. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves are the most... 

We have traveled more than usual this year. Our overnight accommodations have been in a private waterfront home and 3 or 4 star hotels in small towns, one in the north and one in the south (USA locations) but both owned by international hotel chains... 

I’ve heard people say they needed a vacation from their vacation. Have you ever felt that way? I can actually remember a time when I would travel to visit family or take a vacation and go to work the day after I got home. I may not have complete... 

Many of you have read my blog post and subsequent mentions of The Old Church At Freeport. Just as I saw that church many times before we decided to stop and photograph it, we have driven by many other historic structures without stopping to document... 

A few months ago I wrote about attending a high school reunion in Ohio. Soon we will be attending another one, this time in Georgia. I had no input in the planning of the Ohio reunion whereas I’ve been on an informal planning committee for the on... 

Back in January I posted a photograph for Day 27 of the 365 Day Art Challenge and titled it Thankful Thursday. I decided to use at least part of the description for my blog post today which is another Thursday. The description for the image include... 

You forgot to watch that television show that you like. You forgot it was on at that particular time. That’s okay. It’s not important. You forgot to pick up chips for your lunch tomorrow. That’s okay. It’s not important. You didn’t... 

Have you ever been told or heard the saying that you never know how your actions/words/art may affect someone else? Part of that saying is true. Part of it is not. Never is the part that is not true because sometimes we do find out how our actio... 

On our recent road trip to Ohio we stopped along a rural US Highway and I took photographs of several old churches. Some of you may remember my blog on The Old Church At Freeport. The churches that I shot on this last trip are located on that sam... 

There is a television show called Buried Alive. It is about people who are buried in their possessions. Some people started out collecting dolls or books or something that might have increased in value. Some people started collecting clothes or ot... 

When you are traveling do you pay any attention to the billboards along the highway? Do you only look at them when you are hungry and trying to find a good restaurant ahead? Are you only noticing the billboards that advertise the next gas stop? Fi... 

I spent this past weekend in Ohio. Six out of the last seven art challenge images were taken in that state. Going there to a class reunion meant that I would be reminiscing with former classmates about our shared past experiences. I was also remem... 

Think of all the many paintings, drawings and photographs of hands that you have seen. Wedding photos with hands wearing the wedding rings. An older person’s hand holding a child’s hand. Holding a dying parent’s hand. Poems, blogs and arti... 

Last week I wrote about looking forward. This week I spent a little time looking backwards. I participated in a three day art challenge with the theme being Books. I chose two baby books and a wedding album to photograph and write about. The ba... 

Two of the images that I processed this week had the words Looking Forward in the title. The images were photographs looking towards the front or bow of two different ships. Thinking about those titles led to thinking about looking forward in life.... 

There are many parts to the Art Challenges on Fine Art America hosted by Abbie Shores. One major part of the challenge is to create new work each day. Many obstacles can pop up along the way such as computer crashes, no internet connection, or even ... 

Several of the personal art challenges that I am participating in have had the reoccurring subject of gardening. This most recent theme was umbrellas and boots suggesting that the garden had gotten much needed rain. The image I created this morning ... 

It’s official! It is Summer. Hot Weather – Strong Sunlight – Warm Evenings I love all of those things. I will even put up with the bugs that come with summer. The first day of summer is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphe... 

The most gorgeous, amazing sunsets that I have ever seen were in the Cedar Point area of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Cedar Point is a piece of land that juts out into the Bay of Saint Louis, a shallow bay that flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Not lon... 

When we think of the word eulogy we generally think of a funeral. But did you know that a eulogy could be written or read about a living person? Or even a place or thing? The simplest definition that I found for the word eulogy was high praise. A... 

One of the Fine Art America Challenges that I am participating in uses Bedroom as its theme. My first image of three this week for that challenge was titled Sweet Dreams. A few days before the challenge started another artist discussed dreams in o... 

I participated in another art challenge this week and the theme of the challenge was Fire. Since I love campfires I had plenty of photographs to process for the challenge and I did that for two of the three days of the challenge. My image for one o... 

I recently posted several photographs of a log cabin. The cabin was built over 200 years ago in Tuscumbia, Alabama beside what was once Jackson’s Military Road. The road took people from Nashville to New Orleans, was 483 miles long and a 17 day t...

As I was researching for today’s post I was reading several sites about idioms. My mind was all over the place trying to decide the direction of this piece, using idioms as the subject. I could make a list of idioms and their meanings as many o... 

What does it mean to play hooky? What does hooky mean? Hooky: Absent from school or work without an excuse, without permission or for a frivolous reason. Hooky: To not go to school or work or to purposely miss an appointment. Have you ever play... 

How many of you consume a healthy diet? Maybe I should first define what constitutes a healthy diet. The problem is that different so called experts have different opinions on what a healthy diet actually is! During the 1990s the Atkins Diet was v... 

What is Maundy Thursday? Where did the word Maundy come from and what does it mean? What are the two most common traditions of Maundy Thursday? These are questions that I wanted to answer as I prepared to write this week’s blog post. As a Chris... 

Confucius said, “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” What a lovely quote. I used that quote on a photograph of a crab. Cute. That image even won first place recently in a Fine Art America contest. In the description of the im... 

If we told my Mother something unusual she would ask, “How do you know that?” She was not questioning the validity of what we were saying, she was only curious about all things. Sometimes when I am doing research online I will silently ask that...
