New Mexico

Over 80 galleries on Canyon Road and we never made it past the first one, A Sea In the Desert. These two paintings are by Carol Hoy.

Work in Progress

I am so excited to be illustrating this picture book written by E. K. Arnold!

Studio Visit

I felt so lucky. I invited myself over to see Anne Herbst's newest painting, and she said YES! It's one of the largest paintings she's done, and I got lost in it. Above are a couple of my favorite details.

But. Every time I shot a photo of a detail, another amazing detail appeared within the detail I'd just shot. (See below.)

9 Year Anniversary

I met Lucille nine years ago at an inauguration party for Obama. Today she made lunch for me (a healthy salad along with fried calamari !! ) and I brought the prosecco.

JOY

My friend Katy took this photo in Limestone, TN, on Christmas Eve. "I returned on the day after Christmas to take another photo, but JOY had already been taken down. Maybe JOY is camera shy."
