Upcoming! Besides loving to draw, it makes me happy to help other people learn to draw. A friend named Anne Brown has been asking me for many years to give a workshop up here, and since she offered to host it and for whatever reason I now have some time, (OH, because I’m not preparing […]
Just Photos of Three Rivers in the First Half of March
The first half of March was beautiful. Truly beautiful. Then, it rained and it snowed kind of low (but not at my elevation). So, blossoms fell off trees and flowers got battered. But, it is still green.
March in Three Rivers
I took these photos the first 4 days of the glorious month of March in Three Rivers. That’s it. Next week we will return to the business of art.

Mental Meanderings
A dear friend told me that she really enjoys my blog posts when I write about thoughts. Here, this is what she said: Maybe it’s because I’m a worker of words, but I really enjoy your entries that describe your central valley world, your life in it, and your feelings. The reader responses you receive […]
