From solid blue sky to wispy clouds.
Sky and mountains are the farthest away, and I think they are finished. Next closest is the orange grove. Oy vey, those leaves!
Very very cold day. The garbage truck went up and down the street about 8 times. There were roosters crowing. The little pickup with the giant stereo pulled in across the street and this time he shut off the “music”. I saw the normal 2 or 3 cats, and the handful of little dogs that trot around with purpose. The county supervisor stopped by and I also talked to a group of women who were meeting in the library, a man named Ruben, and a neighbor, who reassured me that the recent murder was a family dispute and took place on the bad side of town, not where we are.
Good to know.
Today I might paint oranges on the trees. Or dirt on the ground. The ground on the painting, not the muddy ground I stand on to paint.
2026 CALENDARS, “AROUND HERE… and sometimes a little farther” available here, $25. All the drawings were new in 2025. You’ve only seen the one of the pier, which sold in the show of the same title.

Who do I email at the Library about removing or relocating that stupid little bush and the redwood log and sign? They are obstructing the view of your mural, especially the SLB. Do they think people are going to sit on the log and view the mural? It annoys me every time I see those things blocking your work. Apparently no one from the Library is observing your progress, or they would have noticed those distractions by now.
Marjie, you are so thoughtful to want to go to bat for my mural! I doubt if anyone will pay any attention to your request because that log is historical and has a sign explaining its importance. I will email you a photo of the sign.
