The commissioned pencil drawing presented several challenges. When a place is really beautiful, visually captivating, unusually interesting, my oh my it is difficult to choose the right view! I didn’t intend to draw this view but thought it made a nice photo. The door by which one enters a building is considered the “face” and [...]

I’m drawing my brains out, working on The Cabins of Wilsonia. (Okay, I’m not really drawing my brains out – I need them for stuff like posting to my blog. Try not to take me too literally here.) When I get commissions, I take a break from that Giant Project. There is a house here in [...]

Because my friend Cheryl Barker does Summer Photo fun on her blog, and I am a monkey-see-monkey-do copyist, I will engage in my own little brand of summer photo fun for your entertainment. Are you kidding me? That is so gross! Yeah, I know. They are [...]

Happy Birthday, Elder Sister! This photo was taken in my yard on March 15. This photo was taken in my yard on March 18. I live in Central California (I am a California artist, remember?) at an elevation of 1000 feet. One thousand, not 10 thousand. Three Rivers, California. How does this apply to art, [...]

What if 3 people requested reprints of my photos in the last several months? What if I realized that within my photo archives of 15,886 images there are a few really good pictures? What if I contacted my web designer and asked her to add a photo page? IT IS HERE! Photographs Autumn in Mineral [...]
