Before we have one more little talk about eggs, here is Samson, in case you were wondering.Ethan’s eggs are so interesting to me that I took many photos and started 2 new paintings. These are in the category of This Looks A Little Bit Too Hard So I Will Challenge Myself. The little plate will […]
After Hours
On breaks from the studio, during my “commute” to the studio, after hours, and on weekends, this is a glimpse into what inspires me, fills my time, keeps me interested in marching on. Ethan, a boy from Three Rivers, sells beautiful eggs, and there may be some paintings soon. This type of iris is my […]
Little Break From Repainting Mineral King Mural
I wasn’t able to paint on Wednesday, due to life’s other commitments that make me thankful to be self-employed. Have you been missing Samson? He is semi-civilized now, although better behaved for Trail Guy than for me. It might just be a male-bonding issue, or perhaps it is that Trail Guy is around more. The […]
Weird Connection
In 1994 I was commissioned by a woman to do 2 pencil collage drawings as gifts for her sons. Their last name was Dalton, and the young men had started a company to sell a special recipe of BBQ sauce, capitalizing on their ancestors, the notorious Dalton Gang. The gang robbed a bank in Coffeyville, […]
Don’t Feel Like Talking
Today is 17 years since my Dad died. I don’t feel like talking. You can look at Samson biting his way out of a paper bag, and then we’ll take a walk in Three Rivers. Maybe later I can draw some water from one of these rushing river photos.
On the Easels and On the Needles
And in case you were wondering if all I do is work, please be reassured that I always find time to knit. A friend is waiting for a new pair of lungs, and there will be a fund raising dinner with silent auction and pick-a-prize items. I made these 2 infinity scarves for the event, […]
Did You Miss Samson?
Samson is still around and participating fully in everything. So far he has wrecked 3 pairs of tights and a cable knitting needle. I began this painting of a jalapeno pepper, and he immediately began batting the pepper around the workshop. I encouraged him to bite it, hoping it might cure him of this nasty […]
Water Cat
With all the rain, Samson has been quite interested in the movement of water. It is official. I’ve become a bore with photos of my cat. He’s really Michael’s cat, not mine. He took all the photos. Just wanted to be clear. Does that make me less of a bore? Don’t answer that.
Rain in Three Rivers
Three Rivers got 9″ of rain in 10 days. This is phenomenal! We walked to the Dinely Bridge several times to check out the river. I can’t remember how many storms – one big one? a wave of storms? The early ones were warm and the river was very exciting. See that white stick on […]
A List and an Attitude
Here is a list about the vicissitudes* of my life; you may detect a certain attitude coming through. Tomorrow I will try to resume a more professional and detached approach to blogging. Samson caught his first rat! Yep, rat, not mouse. He played with it until Michael took it away. His cat food must be […]
