DONE! Sort of.
Closing the summer with announcements and garden photography.
It’s a progression
I have arrived! More Nature art and calligraphy.
Not all bugs are considered equal
We loves the bugs, we do, we do. We like their little faces. But not all of them. I am selective as to which bugs are adorable, and which are not, and the defining difference is whether or not they are in my house. In the past week we have been infested with fruit-flies and […]
Bee-wildering
So apparently my ignorance is astounding. Not that we weren’t already clear, and on the subject of photography, completely justified. I have been playing with my brand new camera lens, which is like learning a totally different language again. I am pretty sure it has turned my ten year plan for being a photographer into […]
Texture and Thermography
So remember when I got all excited about my embossing powders and was proud of my spider and butterfly? I then did up a bunch of sketches that sat there collecting dust while I ran around town trying to convince people to vote for me. Now that the election is over, I have spent the last […]

Halfway and Grand Marais
June is the month of travel, and learning, and craziness, and nothing resembling a regular schedule. I am exactly halfway through the insanity, having just left Grand Marais, MN behind me while I look ahead to southern California. The painting is suffering, but the photography is making up for it. An in depth review of photos (as […]
