It’s been 6 weeks since returning from Africa and not a peep from me regarding the trip. I managed to take thousands of images which have still yet to be figured out. Some images have already been sent off to become a 2020 calendar, others are starting to form ideas for future printmaking endeavors. FriendsContinue reading “Post Safari Ideas”

Radish Blooms
Sketching started today with a look at radish blooms and seed pods. The flowers are mainly white with some pink. I think, with some serious cutting I can give a good look to these plants. Hopefully. There is a lot of nice negative space created as stems and pods overlap. Somehow I need to interjectContinue reading “Radish Blooms”
More waiting
It’s Thursday and I’m waiting for multiple things. Here’s the list: The cat went on walkabout and hasn’t returned home. I’m worried. My husband is heading to Texas and I’m waiting for him to get back from work so I can drive him to the airport. The results from the jury process for Art inContinue reading “More waiting”
Perspective
This morning I receive an incredible photo from my friend John Ritchie. He is a photographer in Corvallis who has an amazing perspective on the night. He prowls around town taking street and alley photos during all weather and season. I first met John during the “Artists @ Work” installation in 2011. As one ofContinue reading “Perspective”
Ethical Photo Use?
Every once in a while I check Google for my name and see what come up. I browse through multiple pages and click links that I’ve not seen posted before. Friday, I ran across a class taught at the Virginia Arts of the Book Center using one of my images for advertising a class. Wow,Continue reading “Ethical Photo Use?”
Cold
Bone chilling temperatures are not part of our typical winter vocabulary here in the Willamette Valley. Our normal December highs are in the mid 40’s, lows in the mid 30’s. Over the past 10 days we’ve been below freezing (day and night) with several nights reaching low single digits and even sub temps. Tuesday wasContinue reading “Cold”
January Frost
The weather has been quite a bit cooler over the past few weeks. Snow has threatened but not materialized for the valley floor. Temperature has dipped into the low 20’s F at night. Saturday morning we woke to a white frosty landscape thanks to a thick blanket of fog. I couldn’t resist pulling on warmContinue reading “January Frost”
Happy New Year 2013!
We ended 2012 as positively as possible by staying in Yachats, Oregon for a few days. December 30: Evening walk before Kate, Jim (Maggie & Hobie), and Kim show up. A beautiful evening and sunset. Gold! Dave and Moby. Love the long reflections on the sand. Sand texture December 31: Rainy, windy and a roughContinue reading “Happy New Year 2013!”
Morning tea with the deck plants
Our back deck holds numerous plant experiments. Recently I pulled the terra cotta pocket-pot out of the back yard. It had originally been planted with a multitude of herbs, a gift to Dave on his 40th birthday from friends. The chives remain in a side pocket, but that’s all. I think I’ll have to addContinue reading “Morning tea with the deck plants”
Spring Snow 2012: day 2
Spring Snow 2012 Continued! Early afternoon on Wednesday I took a 2 mile loop with Moby. Very wet snow but a nice walk. Nearing the boardwalk Moby pointing at ducks in the marsh area. Our house before the extra snow. The snow kept falling for the entire day and increased after 6pm during our secondContinue reading “Spring Snow 2012: day 2”
