My Virtual Coffee House Show

August 9, 2020 by Kate Walter

Back in the day, when my friends and I were young and eager to be out sharing poetry and music, the coffeehouse beckoned. Public, legitimate, no age limits, no alcohol licensing requirement, coffee houses in the Chicago area often had a stage as well, many with hours scheduled for drop in performers on the “Open…READ MORE >

Point of View

April 18, 2019 by Kate Walter

This young painting, showing the interaction of the colors brown and blue on a white ground, looks like this viewed vertically, with the brown on the left.     Rotate the painting 90 degrees;   images seen in the painting change.     Rotate another 90 degrees.  New images appear, old ones disappear.   One more turn…READ MORE >

Wednesday, a New Painting Takes Wings

April 10, 2019 by Kate Walter

  I worked for many years in Waldorf schools, where observations Rudolf Steiner made in the early twentieth century continue to inspire and challenge school communities. Not only the teachers but also the staff, organizational board, parents, students and visitors who come to a Waldorf school quickly feel that something different, and powerful, is happening…READ MORE >

Water is Life

August 11, 2018 by Living Traditional Arts

Living in Toronto for a lovely stretch, my feet missed my home ground and my tears, had they flowed, would have gone to the sea in a foreign watershed. Just a seed of homesickness, mind you; my Canadian experience did not generate tears. But the seed grew, in a creative impulse, to the beginning of…READ MORE >

Four Leg Peg

October 16, 2014 by Kate Walter

I first saw this easel design when I was living and working in Toronto, Canada. Two different schools had several in storage and brought them out to display signs or art work in progress at festivals or at special classroom events. Neither school used them for individual easels in full classes – I’m thinking they…READ MORE >

EN PLEIN AIR

August 21, 2014 by Kate Walter

The Viroqua, Wisconsin plein air painters keep Bakke Farm on their list of regional locations that offer beautiful rural views, and three painters came to the farm one Friday in August to catch a summer image. Kathy Fairchild arrived first. Kathy comes to the farm quite often; she and her husband have a garden over…READ MORE >

Music in the Wood: Harmonic Forms by Paul Fairchild

I climbed down out of the Crow’s Nest and spent a recent Saturday afternoon worrying a pile of knotty red oak rounds with a maul and wedge, whittling them down to size for the wood stove. As I split them open, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful swirling grains in the wood, exposed to the sunlight…READ MORE >

Beechnuts

Each morning on the way to the barn we walk under the hanging limbs of the great beech tree that stands by the corner of our house. Names and dates carved long ago on the smooth, gray trunk are dark and distorted, barely legible. The tremendous number of beechnuts that grow on a tree this…READ MORE >
