In all this waiting-for-kidney-stone maladies to heal (the surgeon tore my ureter) I have been creating a healing journal. I’m not sure I can share it in its entirety, but will at some point share within my comfort zone. It … Continue reading

April Fool’s Day 2015 ver went to sleep, not really. Laid down but could not sleep and so, I stayed up. Too excited about the trip, plus I had to connect one last time with Jai and the kids before … Continue reading
Took a walk and sketched in our studio’s neighborhood, buildings I look at all the time. I was able to sketch both of them, and it was a bit like old times, architectural sketches. They are both shades of grey: … Continue reading
Thank You Ruthie! Must see drawing animation, too kewl!

This is similar to a re-blog. Roz Stendahl is a favorite artist for me to watch. She shares all and that is something I admire. Helps me tremendously by saving me from buying things I don’t really want by explaining … Continue reading
After my frustration at Kiva Tearoom, I decided I needed to go back and just play with washes. Middle of the night I read suggestions from several watercolor books on washes. I sketched the Zazen Cats, fun images I come … Continue reading
I haven’t had much time to paint anything this week but found moments in the car. Being back in a city is overwhelming in terms of the cacophony of lines and layers, rhythms and patterns. (Yes I spelled that wrong … Continue reading

I’ve made a hard decision during this Dark-of-the-Moon. Previously I set up a second blog that was dedicated to my love of working with Lunar energy. Lunar Moondae was also home to my Booby Gurl images. After a great deal … Continue reading
I started out to do a little post on painting one of our chairs. Then I realized I was posting about a chair I had also painted — so figured I should post about both restoration, painting the chair and … Continue reading
