crocus, those little green shoots, pushing up through the snow, personifications of hope.

Silhouetted tall grasses and two wooden fence posts stand in the foreground, their dark shapes cutting across a vivid sunset. Behind them, the sky glows with layers of deep orange, soft pink, and pale blue as the sun sinks toward the horizon. The light from the sunset creates a warm halo around the posts and filters through the thin blades of grass, giving the scene a moody, atmospheric feel.

Last night as the dog and I walked along the mountain road. The sun had just set. #Ireland #BlueSkyMonday #photography #sunset #EastCoastKin

sunset in gold and orange and lingering blue, above the dim hum of tedious traffic.

Sunset tonite in the city.

I love this town, wouldn't trade it for another.

Eine Wattlandschaft mit Wasserflรคchen und Grasbรผscheln, die im Wasser verteilt sind. Der Himmel ist klar und zeigt einen sanften Farbverlauf von einem hellen Orange am Horizont zu einem Blau nach oben. Im Vordergrund sind dunkle, felsige Strukturen zu erkennen, die den รœbergang zum Watt markieren. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und zeigt die typische Vegetation des Wattenmeers bei einem Sonnenuntergang.

Make new things, including friends.
Make paintings, songs, and books.
Make enchanted daggers of ancient goblin bones.
Make a cloak of moss, enspell it with dark magic, and become a wandering legend of the wildlands.

moon and clouds over the forest

moon and clouds over the forest

quietly slipping, slipping into dark

lazily drowsing, drowsing into sleep

the clouds and moon; behind my house - I may make more of these pictures

a photo of part of wildcat park near the east bay california. the trail leads down the hill as it curves around with trees on the right.
the park is almost 3,000 acres with great hiking and views of the bay.

โ€œNature has a way of turning on oneโ€™s inner music. You lose some heaviness, and suddenly become as light as a leaf. And that magic does not happen elsewhere. It occurs only when you are in nature.โ€

Abstract composition of brightly colored shapes  - two ovals and a double spiral - floating on a background divide diagonally into three regions. 20โ€ x 16โ€, containing approximately 2500-3000 individually hand-cut and hand-pasted clippings taken from Coldwater Creek catalogs and the Princeton Alumni Weekly.

A favorite #collage from a few years ago, the one I use on my business cards. This was made entirely from magazine clippings pasted on canvas board. No paint. No other type of paper. Just very careful color selection.

A little cross alley with good lighting has turned into a graffiti gallery with wild style pieces and a portrait of a woman done all in green at the end.

I didn't get to linger here very long but the lighting at least helped me get a decent pic. Portland, Maine this summer.

Thanks P! when it's layered thick, and i use wood glue as a binder, it ends up like a chunk of wood. So you can sand it just like wood.

mottled and swirled blues on the surface of a papier mรขchรฉ sculpture

mottled and swirled blues on the surface of a papier mรขchรฉ sculpture

detail of an older sculpture of mine.

this is the result of layering colored tissue paper with newsprint, then sanding and polishing.

the problem was the fugitive nature of the dye in the tissue paper- it faded real quick.

i'm trying it again, using acrylic paint on tissue paper
