New Work May 2012

Contemplation     16 x 20 acrylic on canvas
Didn't know a "Super Moon" was coming but woke up one morning  with the idea of cows  leaping playfully through the night sky and across a big golden full moon.  After sketching it all out I went right to the canvas and this is what happened:  "Contemplation."  Maybe a more energetic version with mad and/or blissful cows flying through space is next.  The Pacific Northwest sky is full of surprises, especially in Kitsap country.

Who?


A fluffy but stern owl clutches its perch  and surveys the landscape.

Moving On


With an open heart

Change of Plans

Dental emergency intervened, D went to town by himself (after snapping above photo at 4 something AbloodyM) and I slept until the phone rang at mid-morning. Bliss! I did some toilet shopping online and found a very negative reference to the one we were considering, a reminder to be wary when HD is our first stop for shopping. OTOH, the high-end Toto line certainly is seductive, but for a humble little cabin, not quite in the budget. Here's a tiny crop from one I snapped waiting for the ferry last Saturday on the way to the latest evolution of "I Love Being Abroad" by Julie Cascioppo. The mama gull has been nesting for at least 10 days in this spot where hundreds of passengers pass by daily.

She's kinda hard to see up there in this photo.
