Spring is Coming...

It's been a long time since I posted here!  There are so many things going on this time of year with the kid's plays, projects and recitals.  I have many of these things looming as well.  With all that being fun and exciting, it does tend to make the days go by so fast.  I'm ready to get back to the garden... clean up the pine needles and mess from the wind storm in Nov.  (broken fence and monolithic pine tree stumps and vertical shrub roots in the rubble of our back yard)

Ready to watch the daffodils shoot up, enjoy more green and get that bike tuned up so I can get out there and ride:)  How's your spring coming?

Detail of a commission I did for a friend

Ringing In....

When I see this photograph, I can't help but hear all those clocks buzzing, dinging, burping and chiming.  You know, the beginning of Time by Pink Floyd.

Feeling good in the new year... can't believe it's 2016!!  I love fresh starts and clean slates and this year more than most I'm sensing new, planned, positive things coming on.  Happy New Year!!!  Leave a comment anytime, it's always great to hear from you.

Getting Closer

Jars of Honey

Just a little Janet Fish love today... she is such an amazing painter and one of my favorites.  The distorted honeycombs and reflections on the glass jars blow my mind.  Happy Sunday.

Looking Back

Just a little flashback today... looking at old work.  Here's an acrylic painting of my Underwood typewriter.  I consider it sculpture.  I sold it to a lady in Missoula, MT who wanted to give it to her brother ~ a writer.  Happy Wednesday

A few of my favorite things (October version)
