After seeing the movie "Queen of the Summer" about colony collapse disorder I very concerned about what we can do to help preserve our the bee population.  I rejoice in every one I see.

This dragonfly lived in our skylights several days last summer. Finally he landed on the tile floor and after taking some photos we carefully carried him outdoors where, after a few minutes, he flew away.

Don't miss this great opportunity to give the gift of Fine Art this holiday season.

The image may seem familiar.

Wind Surfing

The background for "Wind Surfing" was painted some time ago but it never really felt finished.  I'm sure it was waiting for the Eagle that flew over today.

What magnificent raptures. We have so many of them on our island.

Blackberries

This is the season of gathering and I gathered Blackberries on the road the other day and made the most delicious blackberry muffins.  Found the recipe online.  Yum.

Blackberries is the 3rd in a series.
Other in the series include Blueberries and Cranberries.

Open Studio Tour?

No, I won't be on Whidbey's Open Studio Tour, so here's a picture of where I work.  Getting ready for rotation at Artworks Gallery and have pieces selected ready to pack.  

Actually I'll be out of town and unable to even attend this year's tour.  Sorry to miss it, always a great chance to get inspired.

A is for Anemone

 One of summer's last gifts, Japanese anemone is a  flower closing it petals each evening to provide a place for fairies to sleep. Anemone's closing petals are also said to predict rain.
