New Year's Eve, and 125 years old today is 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy.

(And when I myself read this poem, I often find myself becoming aware of that blessèd Hope from that frail and gaunt thrush ✨️)

Exquisite plein air art by @heatherihnart.com NAILED it

Getting all the painting I can in while I have time off from work. It’s really nice 🥺. The temps were quite brisk and the wind was cutting through my jacket. Great clouds and subtle colors today though. #pleinair #oilpainting #shellridge #walnutcreek

Big CONGRATULATIONS to Aaron Blaise! Watch Snow Bear, everyone!

WOW! Thank you to The Academy for selecting Snow Bear as one of the 15 shortlisted films for Best Animated Short Film.

To see this deeply personal, hand-drawn film recognized alongside so many incredible works is an honor.

I am so grateful to everyone who has supported this journey.

I went to an Israeli Art Fair today. The sellers traveled from Israel to be there. I bought a beautiful mezuzah made of Dead Sea stone for my studio doorway! In it is a parchment scroll, hand written by a scribe in Israel. It contains biblical passages and a prayer.
