this was the view earlier today from the driver’s seat of my rental car: raindrops, a vibrant rainbow, and a gorgeous patchwork sky. god, i adore this city. it’s where i have always belonged, and i can’t wait to return here…to home.
i taught my first class yesterday. total magic. felt completely natural. and i loved it. more to come on that soon as it’s 2am and i’m off to sleep. but i really wanted to check in here and share that little piece: i loved it. i can’t wait to share more with photos….(omg).
wow ! a fantastic photo – I love rainbows – luckily as it rains a lot here in Scotland I see them often. Sadly most people never look up and miss them.

I know how you feel about Portland. I moved to Seattle in the 80’s but everytime I go down to PDX, I get that sentimental feeling. and that HOME experience.
what a neat picture! So glad to hear the classes are going well, Im sure you’re a fantastic instructor– lucky students!!!
Kelly, It was a great class! I had the best time. You are a wonderful teacher! Take care and I hope to take another class with you soon!
I was in Kelly Rae’s second class, and it was fantastic, wonderful, amazing! Kelly, as your student, I never would have guessed you just started teaching if I hadn’t known it from reading your blog.
Good luck with this new teaching adventure!
Beautiful rainbow!!! So glad you had a good time teaching, enjoy it!
wish I could have been at that class! have a good (what’s left) weekend!
I’m 54. I want to live even one day with the bliss that you seem to have daily. You are so positive, honest, full of life, creative, ful of joy and bliss. How do you do it? Really? How? Why have I lived so long without that in my life? How do I get there? I want to be you when I grow up.
kellykelly…i saw your book in Barnes & Noble today…they "accidentally" had it shelved instead of displayed with the cover showing. so i fixed it for them. much better. 🙂 Linda E.
Geoegous photo!! Those are the moments in life everyone should look for. I’m happy to hear you had a good time teaching. I look forward to hearing more.
Take care of yourself.

Kelly Rae, I just got your new book Taking Flight and I absolutely love it! I saw the cover art and said to myself “that is how I’d like to draw”. The first paragraph on page 11 about our inner voices almost made me cry. I love all kinds of mixed media arts/crafts but one of the things I’d really like to learn is to draw better. I know with practice and trial and error I can get better but I hold back and am afraid to try. Afraid of failure, afraid of being made fun of, etc. I’m 44 and you’d think that by now that wouldn’t bother me. I feel like a little girl when it comes to my art, insecure and self conscious. I think your book just might help me just do what I want to do and not worry so much! Thanks so much.
Lovely photo Kelly. Congratulations on your first class, glad it went well and looking forward to more details.- Just finished your book and now consider it one of my faves -beautifully written.
gorgeous photo.
I can’t wait to hear more about your teaching, classes and such.
