I’m getting to know Neighbor’s Kitchen and Yard owner Tom, a bit better. Every time I’m there he welcomes me. I’m not special, he does it for all his customers; what a nice fellow. You can tell his exceptional crew love working for him!
Nieghbor’s is a Pizza kitchen, brewery, and music venue nestled on the Colorado River in Bastrop, deep in the heart of Texas. FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED. ALWAYS WITH LOVE. I still have not completed my painting titled “Perspectives of Neighbors.”
Today, I get to speak to Kelly Clarke, Development Director, Down Home Ranch about getting the kids involved in my next community-driven, giant, hopeful art installations.
In fact, I hope to get both these great companies involved. I’ll make it easy on them: I’ll do all the work with help from other artists and citizens of this great community.
I developed this product today. I ordered one to check it’s quality. Once I approve our online team managed by Jay Lynch, will offer it to you guys.
I’m Getting exciting up in here!
It’s the “All You Need Is Love, Love” candle. Inspired by the Beatles Love Show in Las Vegas. Created for a group show hosted by Lisa Dittrich – Arts Factory 2016 – What an honor it was to be in this show with great artists like Lisa and David Fay and others.
The original art is unavailable – it’s owned by Chelsea Brophy.
I can paint another original for you similar to this one … but this one is hers.
I retain reproduction rights on all my creations.

I’m Having an awesome day here at the Harmony House on the Colorado River in fabulous Bastrop, Texas
I had fun working on this tonight. – It’s near completion. It’s Ruidoso wood with acrylic paint on it. I’m considering putting a wooden butterfly on it. I will be offering an online special for it. Let’s see how it turns out.
The winds blow so hard last night my little boat almost blow away to the river. She’s ready to go be a boat after all these years, but she’s forgotten she needs a little patch work first. Don’t laugh at her … we all need a little patching once and a while.
Kevin found her this morning and put a chair on her to hold her back. Lol.
I’m making art today. It has to be inside my tiny living space because if winds.
Tiny living = Tiny footprints. Not that I believe I can help God manage this globe, but it’s going to be fun to learn to live a simpler lifestyle.
Trust me, if God calls you to be on the road, you soon learn that lugging all your shit in tow is not fun.
I feel another huge garage sale coming on, so get ready Bastrop because I got good stuff!
We simply wanted to see if we would like to build or buy a tiny home one day.
I would have a large art space attached to it, but nothing else would be large – other than the great outdoors. I want a bit of land. When living tiny you want some outdoor spaces too.
We think we want something screened-in with a hot tub and above ground pool inside it one day.
Anyway – So far the answer is 100% yes – we love tiny living. But it’s only day 2.
We will see after I move over the computers, a tiny amount of my art supplies, and Kevin’s work clothes.
But um yeah. I’m digging it!
I would think you really need to do it with peeps who are all extremely accommodating. I can see that is so, and thankfully, Kevin and I have that.
So yeah. Tiny living.
Stay connected here – Let’s learn about this together.
Field of Wings is a message of hope, community driven art installation. It’s a place where we honor our loved ones by painting butterflies that are then installed in the trees amidst a giant painting created by artist Jana Lynch. It’s Jana’s interpretation of the happiness she found here in the Village of Ruidoso.
This art installation will be maintained by Ruidoso Parks and Recreation, and they will continue the tradition of allowing people to paint wooden butterflies honoring their loved ones. And these butterflies will live in the trees at Wingfield park.
The three retail outlets selected to carry the matching merchandise are Josey’s Framery, the PostslAnnex and HelloFromRuidoso.com
Jana believes people will want to take home the matching merchandise from the place where they honored their loved ones, due to the popularity and exposure of this art by our visitors from all over the world. Some of the proceeds from each product sold will go to the Lincoln County Food Bank.
It is artist Jana’s vision that there will be 10s of 1000s of butterflies in the trees at Wingfield Park one day, hence its name: Field of Wings. Proceeds from butterfly sales are to be divided with Lincoln County Food Bank, and Keep Ruidoso Beautiful Program
But FOR ONE LAST WEEKEND ONLY: Would you like to paint a butterfly with Jana? ($10) Or explore the Art & Garage sale she is hosting? Come say farewell to Jana and the ArtCave on November 12 thru 14 from noon til 6 pm
Jana and Kevin moved to the park the art that represents Jana’s feelings for the Village of Ruidoso
