Under a dark and stormy sky! Taos, New Mexico

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving. The show is hung, the opening has happened. Big thank yours to all who helped and to all who came on Sunday! braving freezing winds. It was all splendid. Time now to enjoy a god book and listen to the rain. Watercolor, journal page.
The Tower, one last time
One last view of the tower and then on to a new topic....
Pterodactyl Tower, a wonderful folly
Wandering around French Farm one comes across the most extraordinary art installations and creations. The pterodactyl tower is one of my favorites. I had hoped to meet Rapunzel there but I think we must have just missed each other.
Harbingers of Fall
Acorns and Oak leaves. One may not want to admit it, but Fall is really here.
Indian Feast, part 2
Part 2 of our amazing feast cooked by Carol and Paul. Journal page, watercolor.
Painting Outside
A perfect day to paint outside. Sadly it was also the last but one day of Summer Camp but what better way to spend it than painting in the shade of the pines at the Garden Education Center. A quick demo of 2 pine trees, watercolor, a journal page. Periwinkle and Van Dyck brown make the most perfect silvery grey for tree trunks .
At the beach
It was a wonderful weekend to be at the beach. Acrylic ink, sharp eyes, journal page.
At The Beach
Another scene of people enjoying themselves at the beach.
Hurrah for Summer
Summer seems to have finally arrived. Yeah, my favorite season. Friday, the longest day of the year and we saw our first hummingbird in the garden on Friday evening and our first fireflies. A very good beginning. Walking at the beach we have even seen a couple of brave swimmers. So to celebrate Summer, a journal page of paddlers.
cicada with open wings
Cicada with open wings, journal page & acrylic ink. No sign of cicadas, no sign of humming birds and no fireflies. I think we need less rain and more summer.
Not Quite Here -Yet - 17 Year Cicadas
Not quite here yet - but perhaps on their way. The 17 year cycle cicadas. Of course it's a little hard to tell since the construction from the house next door sounds rather like their constant hum. Acrylic ink, journal page.
A Little House in the rain
Tropical storm Andrea brought us enough rain for weeks, if not months. After the Japanese printmaker Kawai Hasui, a tiny house in the woods. (Just like ours). Class exercise using liquid mask. Gouache, journal page.
And then everything changes
And then it becomes this and the rain sets in.
