Temperatures were near zero with occasional snow but the Full Wolf Blood Moon lunar eclipse was pretty neat to watch, even if the photos are a little soft. I thought I’d share my photos from the lunar eclipse on my photo blog Today: Full Wolf Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse – Today

You’re probably familiar with “The Roundest Eyes”, a block print inspired by Kelly. She also inspired another block print—the “Kelly’s Morning Bath” prints were the first feline pictorial block print I designed all the way back in 1998, even before The Tortie Girls duo of block prints in 2001.

It isn’t always eternal summer on the trail, though memories might make us think so. Winter is my favorite season to paint. I love the subtleties of color and shape with snow in the air and on the ground, and on the trail I am often all alone with the quiet of a winter day, […]

I usually print these little linocuts in earth tones or “tabby colors”, but I’ve been itching to use brights and pastels and all sorts of combinations with them.

I stepped out of a shop on a lukewarm January day and saw a feast of color and detail. “Sah’Side”. It’s still one of my favorite photos of Pittsburgh. If you know Pittsburgh, PA, you know that “Sah’Side” is how we pronounce “South Side” in Pittsburghese, and also that part of town is just as […]

Even if you live in the city you’ll find wildlife everywhere. Of these two paintings, one was on the creek near me and the other in my own back yard. Both are matted and framed and ready to go home. All original artwork 25% off Each season when I publish my quarterly Nature & Wildlife […]

When I made the “Trees of the Trail” coasters I really liked how the white washes turned out, both catching in the grooves impressed from each leaf and also lightly coating the surface, giving them a patina that added to the dimension. I’d wanted to impress a stamp again but this time without ink, using […]
