The height of clouds

The stars felt distant tonight. The air is cold, but not as crispy clean as usual. Granted, that could be the gagging smell of someone's venting dryer. The scent always makes my throat close up and my eyes feel swollen. Whatever they (whoever they are in my neighborhood) use (whatever it is), they use too … Continue reading The height of clouds

Changes of the day

Mornings that typically see me writing today saw me pulling splinters out of my hands. Someday I swear I'll be smart enough to wear work gloves. I knew I got a couple splinters while I was working outside yesterday, but I couldn't believe that I hadn't gotten them fully out yesterday (the pains of being … Continue reading Changes of the day

Everyone’s home

We're all back from FanX. The cats are happy to have us home. The dogs are glad to be home, although they certainly love the place where they get boarded. Merlin started whining with excitement as we got within a couple blocks of the house and he recognized the neighborhood. Right now he's curled up … Continue reading Everyone’s home

Purple trees

After my post earlier this week about the seasons changing way too soon, I thought I'd lighten it up a bit by bringing in some spring. The seasons do not rule my painting! I've had many people admire my purple trees. I don't know why I like to paint them; they are just fun. So, … Continue reading Purple trees

Winter in the air?

I noticed the leaves on the trees starting to change color in the middle of August. Some people told me I was crazy, even as I was pointing to the yellow leaves on the trees. Per our calendar, we have made the transition to fall, yet some areas of Idaho are going to get snow … Continue reading Winter in the air?

Clouds over grassy knolls

Progression paintings for the new 18"x24" acrylic painting I've been working on. I wanted a bright autumn tree against a dark sky showing signs of winter coming. Here's the first layer: The dark clouds in the sky felt way too dark. I tried repeatedly to get it to lighten up. You can see some of … Continue reading Clouds over grassy knolls

When things get torn…

After my last show of 2018, my son was helping me pack up the car. He was carrying 2 paintings out when he slipped on a patch of ice. In catching himself, he dropped both paintings. He, fortunately, didn't hit the cement or hurt himself. But when he reached down to pick the paintings up, … Continue reading When things get torn…

Finishing a space painting

Last week I wrote about three space paintings I was currently working on. I've still been whittling away at them, but I think I finally finished one of them. Maybe. At the moment of this writing, I'm waiting to see how dark the acrylics get after it dries and cures completely. Let's have a quick … Continue reading Finishing a space painting

Inktober #4

Here are the 4th week of Inktober drawings. See the others here: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3. Prompt #18 was "Bottle." Several years ago, I went to the park and sat alone in my car. My boys were off visiting their father. I was lonely and couldn't stay at the quiet house any more. … Continue reading Inktober #4
