Looking for pickles and an apartment?

I have no fresh art to advertise since returning from Kingston, Ontario… where the fresh dill pickles are plentiful.

Takin’ it easy
Friday, June 12th, 2009
There is a time for work and a time to relax…wow. This truck sharing the road on the way back from North Carolina was not parked…this guy was driving 70 mph down the highway! I’m just back from NC then up to Alberta soon, so no new artwork to post until about the end of July.
A New Solar System

Not much artwork to be posted this past week or for the next two weeks because of all the printing and finalizing details for The Majesty of Trees, so I might as well post another link to the website and promote the show one more time.
Meanwhile, taking photos is still a daily activity because there’s always something beautiful somewhere, and it sure is a nice way to take a break..
Please pass the peace

A Studio Affair

“Your eyes are like plastic pearls”
“I bet you say that to all the inanimate objects”
The romance began last year.
Road Trip!
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
This photo was taken just outside of Nashville where we stopped to take photos of the trees draped with vines, naturally occurring topiary, amazing – looking like animals and people turned into forest. Those were cool enough, and the tire skid marks were an extra unexpected find. The photo has been turned into a black and white, then a colored portion from the bottom was superimposed on top of that…my favorite digital trick. Now one last trip for this year, driving to California and the Giant Redwoods – back on the 13th.
Riders on the Storm
Thursday, September 4th, 2008
I’m very excited to start painting again this week. Before two weeks off travelling from Texas to North Carolina I started organizing my FlickR photostream. Now there are about one thousand new photos to sort through, and the ones I’m most excited about are the set of the 1500 year old Angel Oak in South Carolina (now that’s a tree!) – plus a creepy-cool old steel playground beside a gross, moldy, condemned Family Inns Motel, a real treasure! The tree and playground collections are uploaded in FlickR.
There’s also a short photo editorial of our encounters with many of the electric company truck convoys travelling south from Michigan, Indiana, Virginia, and Kansas to restore electricity to 90,000 homes and businesses along the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Gustav. Here are a few of those photos from that set, which we were about to post on CNN’s weather.com when I inadvertently killed my husband’s laptop by plugging a cable in the wrong place. An expensive proposition, and I didn’t even get to send them in. I just found out that fortunately all the travel photos were retrieved, but the laptop is dead. Oops!
