Some of my favorite places to go camping are the Anza-Borrego desert wilderness (above left)

Death Valley (above) and Saline Valley, the Eastern Sierras and Lone Pine;  Southern Arizona, and Nevada (right)– almost anywhere there are Hot Springs.

I find nothing more delightful than painting sky effects and mountains.  Foliage is something I need to work at, and those paintings are still to come.

Calligraphy

wisdom of the ancients--hopi oraibi elders

We Are The Ones We Have Been Waiting For

Dig a Pony

Pick a Moondog

Feel the Wind Blow

A clever way to learn the words to a song.  Too bad, I still have to look at the lyrics when I sing it!  But a really fun project.  A very large piece–14×26 each panel.  A wedding gift.

HellaWorld!

Welcome to my dreamstate,  a land of bats and cactussses, other creatures, other landscapes, and a fair bit of calligraphy.  I am here to post my travels in art and script, on paper and canvas.  Come enjoy a quiet moment of starry twilight.
