Creatively living through gardening, watercolor, fitness and good cooking. I love the great outdoors and traveling to the wide open spaces. Retired from museum profession and grateful for once having the coolest job I could ever imagine.
One more piece for upcoming show at a local coffee shop with another artist. This one was fun—watercolor, pen and paper collage.

An entry (still tweaking it) for a juried show themed “Chasing the Light”. Work in progress but nearly there. In danger of overworking now I imagine.

I have finished “Peace Comes from Within” and preparing to frame it for a show I’ll be in about a month. The steampunk and satellite elements represent the distractions of life that can rob us of peace.

Working on a watercolor regarding Inner Peace. Will be adding at least one quote from Siddartha Gautama. Right now, the bird represents intrusive thoughts.

I haven’t posted for ages it seems. Very busy with life so at least today, I am posting some earlier work just to remind myself to get back to this! Pen and ink with watercolor. Probably two years ago.

Continued al no the theme of rules for a local show. Maybe I’ll get in. Should know in a few days. This one is themed around William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.

A piece I worked on for a juried show entry. Theme is “Politically Incorrect Correct”—inviting expressions of thoughts on political views, left, right, middle… This could be interpreted by the viewer for wherever they stand.

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact:
Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people.
It's Robin Hood in reverse.

I’m in progress on a watercolor of Yukon River Camp, on the Dalton Highway. It was just really cool to be there.

Kenai Fjords, Alaska, first attempt. I have a few things in mind to loosen it up and adjust some things. Used three colors—DS Ultramarine, DS Burnt Sienna and a recently acquired Sennelier Green Earth on 8x8 NYCentral watercolor cold pressed.

Shifting my style a bit and working towards more abstraction in landscapes. This is Hurricane Gulch in Alaska, from a train trestle about 1000 ft over the water.

Starting a new painting. You can see where it’s going. Hurricane Gulch in Alaska, view from high above it on train tracks. Spectacular misty day.

The Enigma machine. A cipher device developed by Nazi Germany during World War II.
It was considered so secure that it was used to encipher Germany's top-secret messages. It was cracked by the brilliant minds of Marian Rejewski & Alan Turning. Today war plans are sent via a commercial application.
