The World Wide Spider Web July 28, 2011

Miracles abound, constantly. If one keeps their head on a swivel, scanning and searching for them, seeking out the patterns and details...

Then, life unfolds.

Until then, hang in there, everything works out eventually.

Blue Bellied Lizard now has Blue Legs to Match July 24, 2011

I didn't ask my little friend to visit, but he jumped inside my palette and scurried into the piles of paint. Then off he went, to paint the town Blue.

Tea Fire July 21, 2011

One night I was painting the full moon rise in Santa Barbara, As the Moon rose, I witnessed the beginning  flames of the Tea Fire. I shouted out to passer's by in a helpless attempt to spread the word of what would become one of Santa Barbara's costliest fires.
The Flames behind Santa Barbara grew skyward warm underneath, illuminated by the moonlit sky above. A beautiful spectacle, but a tragic event.
