Spring cometh, in short bursts, to us in Northern California

a day at the beach— low tide at Bodega Bay yesterday

Oh my! I had no idea it was so soon! Happy travels. I hope you’ll be posting along the way!

perhaps it’s time for a random photo of #hellebores. Just blooming away regardless

Til March 16… when will you be out here?

Excited to have this painting (48 x 48”, acrylic on canvas) featured in “Driven to Abstraction” juried by Carl Heyworth at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts.

Thanks Ilene!

and because it’s #caturday— a bonus pic of Paisley, approximately 10 months old today 😻

equal time for our Big Boy, Pikachu (and happy #caturday!)

It doesn’t seem like this page is so much about posting art, but by golly, I’m just going to keep on doing it. My latest batch of works on paper (watercolor & acrylic) — the larger series was begun in Fall, working in suites of four, loosely inspired by the shifting colors of the seasons

…but not for long!

This painting of mine is one of three currently in a show entitled Femina, at Sofie Contemporary Art in Calistoga— extended through March! It’s a nice show, so check it out if you get over that way. 1407 Lincoln Street (the main street) Calistoga, Thursday-Sunday 11-6

aaaargh 😖🤯😡

Hello Bluesky! Seems I haven’t quite developed the habit of coming over here. But here’s a photo of a clay object I made in my studio the other day; it has yet to be fired, glazed, and fired again. Ultimately, it’ll be an element in a garden (or indoor!) totem stack

That is a *beautiful* photo

Paisley has never met a corgi, as far as I know! How exciting that you’re coming! Driving across?

And so are you 🎉🎉!

is this a kitten friendly space? 😜😻😀
our little Paisley

Throwing some content on here to keep things lively— these are results from a gel print workshop I took a couple weeks ago. Only the first one shows my own experiments; the last pic is our instructor, Catherine Cruz, who has a reception today (Saturday the 25th)at Fulton Crossing (Santa Rosa) 1-4
