In the Lawn
Friday, May 17, 2013
We don’t spray chemicals all over the lawn, and it is much more interesting because of it.
Dandelion and Pear Blossoms
Friday, May 10, 2013
I really think it’s too bad that dandelions have a bad reputation because I love them. We grow them in the garden to harvest the greens and I think the blossoms are very beautiful. The pear trees have blossoms now.
Further Spring Developments
Friday, April 26, 2013
The blue, blue sky is my favorite thing about this photo. The sedum leaves have also started to pop.
Tree Silhouettes
Friday, April 19, 2013
The reason why I took this photo is because I liked the way the trunk of the middle tree had the unusual curve. It will be in my reference file in case I ever need a similar shaped tree for something. I have to admit that I have not been able to do much artwork […]
After the rain

I stepped outside to take some photos one morning before work after it had rained the night before. I thought of this article that I came across recently: What makes rain smell so good? On this morning, there was the usual after the rain smell, plus the oniony smell of chive.

Friday, April 5, 2013
Some beautiful flowers have started cropping up in the garden. (I would really love to do a colored pencil or watercolor of some of these violas.) I was happy to see the bees were out as well.
Springtime Wishes
Friday, March 29, 2013
It’s finally starting to feel a little like spring here. This winter was especially tough and I’m hopeful that the cold weather will be leaving us soon. Happy Easter to all my readers who observe it. For me, it is becoming more special every year.
Mini View #2 Process Photos – blue watercolor abstracts
Friday, March 22, 2013
Here are some photos I took while working on Mini View #2. I painted on one big sheet of watercolor paper and then sliced it up to form the different images. It was fun to experiment with different compositions and I also got ideas for some abstract drawings that I would like to make in […]
