Welcome to 5 Acre Arts
    ... an Artist Collective

Lynda Abare hails from the high desert -- north of Phoenix, Arizona.  Her longtime dream of a simple desert house surrounded by wildlife and desert flora came true and provides ample inspiration and motivation for her newest venture, "5 Acre Arts... an Artist Collective". 

We’re glad you came to visit and we hope you’ll discover some new favorite(s) -- check out our Mixed Media, PMC, Chainmaille, Handmade Books and Journals, Repujado (metal embossing), Painted Papers, and more -- just click HERE, or one of the photo inserts below, for electronic access to the artists and their creations at 5 Acre Arts.

No need to consult the calendar, summer has officially arrived.  We are experiencing triple digit heat in the Phoenix area and the thermometer display is almost completely RED... we are in the “teens”.  YOWZA!

Even in the desert heat, animals continue to thrive.  We help our “locals” out a bit with fresh water every morning and evening.

And unless you’re up before the sun, you can forget your daytime chores.  Any work/play to be done outside has already been moved to the early morning hours or relegated to late in the day when the sun heads behind the hill to the south.  It’s wise to remember anything left sitting outside is too hot to touch by mid-morning.  Visitors to Arizona, cover your steering wheels.

Although Arizona’s monsoon season officially started June 15th, the rain has not made an appearance here (yet).  We look forward to cloudy skies, gusty winds, and the drenching rain that follows.  Until then, it looks like it’s just gonna be WARM <wink>.
