“Our Watermelon Trailer: a Womb with a View”

I painted an old Argosy travel trailer as a watermelon. I painted it pretty quickly including the door as a smaller melon with a slice taken out. After I finished I had MANY people comment on the door. So…a womb with a view was born.

“Dust Devils Dancing in the Desert”

Three Rivers Petroglyph Site/New Mexico
I watched up to seven dust devils at a time swirling across the desert. Right at sunset a storm appeared seemingly out of nowhere and began to suck the dirt devils up into the clouds. It was magical.

*I try to avoid AI like the plague but Google Photos, unprovoked, asked if I wanted to remix a photo my wife took years ago. I said why the fuck not? And I actually kinda like it. I’m pretty sure I’m going to Hell now.
