Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow

One of my favorite things is the sun shining across fields of snow, especially fresh snow. Kim and I had espresso and Italian Christmas cake. What do I need with presents?

Not So Small Pleasures

I was going to write a little bit about the small pleasures in life like a cup of coffee in the morning, but then I realized that my coffee isn’t a small pleasure at all. In fact it’s rather large.

Small Pleasures: Finding Joy Where it’s Least Expected

I got up REALLY early today, which I love. My clock said 4AM but we all know it was really 5. Welcome to the biannual time change everybody (except for those of you in Arizona)!

Why I Love My Country Life…

Silence is what I love most about living in the country: Silence and the time to appreciate it. This blog is a kind of “virtual trip” to the country, a momentary immersion into the simpler things in life.

Yet More Small Pleasures

I have wanted a clothesline ever since I moved here. Sounds like a simple thing, right? Ah, to be able to hang my sheets out to dry in this lush mountain air!

About Me

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
