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
I love watching the stars. Granted, right now the nights are a little cold to stay out for too long. That doesn’t stop me from trying. My dad and I used to go and stand outside in our long driveway. We’d face the fields but look up at the stars. He’d point out a few … Continue reading Taking me back
I'm going to write super fast tonight because I want to get out to see the lunar eclipse. Of course, it's Idaho, so there's clouds. Good luck seeing the moon! We're going to try anyway. I have spent a majority of the day outside working in my back yard. Kevin got it mowed again while … Continue reading Garden coming along
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
Some while back, I had two posts about a painting I was working on. I finally got back to that painting. Find post 1 here. Find post 2 here. So this is where I ended last time: When I looked at it today, I felt like I'd lost the depth in the piece. Now I … Continue reading Let’s see what happens – Day 3
Last year I started painting galaxies on star-shaped magnets. I did about 12 of them. Each one turns out so differently. It's exciting to see what happens and fun to use these as practice to expand, experiment, and practice the technique. There is so much more that I want to try out. Cosmic galaxy star … Continue reading Searching the stars
Since I've been spending all summer telling people about the free fiction here, I thought it might be time to also issue a reminder: this is just a first draft, not the final thing. Text will change. Scenes will be added or removed as the story needs. It is not a completed book. PSA over. … Continue reading Palladium – Chapter 28
This weekend I will be out at the Thousand Springs Festival of Art. I have a few new pieces I've done since Twin Falls Art in the Park, as well as new ACEO's. I also have a few new magnets. I completely sold out of the magnets I had on hand at FanX. I haven't … Continue reading Palladium – Chapter 27
When I'm painting, the whole world seems to disappear. Lately, I've been putting on the Gaia channel, usually to some interview or another, and listen to it while I paint. Except that after about 10 minutes or so, I'm no longer listening; I'm just painting and focusing on color mixing and where the painting wants … Continue reading ACEO’s to see
A tree dreams of space in this painting.
