If you really look around you,
​there is plenty to be thankful for...

Family, friends, good health, nature's bounty,
and the beauty that surrounds us every day.

Mini Series Monday #12 - Getting By On Less

7/27/2015

Despite our appreciation of the unseasonal summer rains
of a week ago, and the promise of an El Nino this winter,
we must still learn to live with the on-going drought.

And in case you are of the belief that drought tolerant plants
translate to "Brown is the New Green"
here are a few plant options that are currently blooming
which might change your perceptions...

All images above were photographed in Southern California
during the summer and represent a mixture of native species,
Mediterraneans, Australians, succulents and edibles -
limiting the combinations only to each gardener's imagination.

Summer Solstice

6/21/2015

The longest day of the year has come and gone,
15 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine...

...which I enjoyed by being outside until last light today
after a very full weekend which began and ended in the garden.

And so I share with you my impressionist interpretation
of a summer landscape which befits the "golden hour".

Mini Series Monday #7 - Bare Branches

1/26/2015

As it is my intention to post a Mini Series every month this year,
(and we have already arrived at the last Monday in January)
I decided to look no further than my neighborhood for inspiration.

And I found an abundance of seasonal patterns -
beginning with the flocks of wild parrots that have come
to roost in our camphor trees for the winter...

A New Year

1/1/2015

Ended the old year by visiting the Craft and Folk Art Museum
yesterday to catch Clare Graham's jaw-dropping exhibit
and was gleefully tickled when the docent mentioned that
"photography is encouraged"...

Well, you don't have to tell me twice!
Here are a choice few of the 200 images I came away with -

Panoramic overview from entrance.
(Aluminum can wall mosaic, chaise and rug at right.)

Interior of Anagrams Cabinet
(left door open / right door closed)
Picture
Pull tab / pop top furniture
and hanging decor
(Sitting is an option too)
Picture
Detail of 6' bottle cap sculpture
of Empire State Building
Picture
Center panel of 6' tall
paint-by-numbers folding screen
(Pinkie and Blue Boy)

Show runs through Sunday, January 4.
I'm going to try to go again.

    As I See It...
    

    I spend a lot of time on the road and always have a camera with me - hoping to be ready when a serendipitous moment presents itself.

    Here you will find some of the day to day things that 
    may influence my art, news about projects I'm currently working on, as well as occasional musings on art, life and random visual non-sequiturs.
