on the trail to forever: selected works by Wayside Artist


In the beginning of my blogging life in 2009 there was Nanine d’Onofrio also known as Wayside Artist. As 2023 goes galloping into history I chose to celebrate our friendship and her work which Pretty and I have always believed to be magical.

Pretty and I trust we are on the road to forever with Wayside Artist whose work embodies the spirit of her subjects, the majesty and mystery of the places she loves.

Happy New Year from Pretty and me at our home in South Carolina to wherever you call home – may 2024 be the year the long arc of the moral universe bends toward justice.
