  • palo verde

    Is there a more beautiful tree on Earth than the palo verde?

    Here’s an oldie from my travel journal, while I work on some new stuff for next week. I’d usually be with family in the desert southwest right about now, but this year I’ll have to make do with memories.

    I miss the shock of green after spring rain, the tenacity of life in the harshest of conditions, the stars, the stars. But I can be patient, everything has its season.

    See you next week, back in space.

  • covington, wa

    My sister’s garden is so magical, with ducks and dogs and my little niece running around.

    When it rains, which it often does, the sound on the corrugated steel roof reminds me of summers in New England, visiting family. It never rained like that where we grew up.

    Painting window swaps in my travel journal while I spend some time close to home this year.

    Can you tell I’m trying to learn stippling?

    And also blogging?

    I’m kind of circling a post format I like, so bear with me, I’m very new to blogging. Is it a blogging faux pas to say you’re new to blogging? If it is I wouldn’t know because I’m very new to blogging.

    Speed painting from window swap during a puppy nap.

    I kind of hate the internet, but window swap is a gift.
