A Simple Composition, A Simple Photo

I really wanted the silhouette of the crow against the uncertain, flat post-storm sky but, still dim from rain, my camera didn’t focus fast enough and I caught this simple balanced composition instead. Maybe that’s what I was intended to get.

First Solo Exhibit: The Extraordinary in the Ordinary, 2000

The post card invitation to my first solo exhibit.

“The Extraordinary in the Ordinary: Celebrating the art in everyday life” In every moment of every day, everywhere I go, I see something extraordinarily beautiful and inspiring. I left my day job to work at home as a commercial artist, fine artist and writer on January 1, 2000 after freelancing as a graphic designer and […]

"Deptford Pink", Photograph

I also included many of my favorite wildflower photos in this year’s exhibit on the Panhandle Trail. This photo of a Deptford Pink was included in “Sun Shadow Ice & Snow: Seasons of the Panhandle Trail 2015”. Taken from my photo gallery, “Panhandle Trail, McDonald to Walker’s Mill, Mid-June 2009“, this Deptford Pink is tiny […]

I hadn’t done this painting yet, but […]

My Feline- and Nature-themed Stuff at "The Outlet Barn"
