Another new work on paper, lots of stuff loosely adhering, maybe like sorting twigs and purple plastic forks for bower ? Bits of #birds #strings#eider#trim#abstractart #worksonpaper #abstractfiguration

New paper piece, lots of crosswinds and currents on mind...and some little shapes of giotto's seraphim #mixedmediaart #abstractdrawing#notaltogetherabstract!#air#lightbloomingphenomenombardo

The last six monarchs. Hoping for a break of sun and higher temps to release them in Pinole. For now they seem content.It is astonishing to feel their tongue moving on your finger, barely detectable #monarchbutterfly #butterflynectar#westernmigration#nativemilkweed#habitatrestoration #flowercoloredsponges

Hoping some sensation of accumulation and breaking open? #abstraction#air#chords#18thcwoodcuts#acrylicpainting#mixedmediaart#workonpaper#lincoln'sbardo

December painting, Foss is the Icelandic word for waterfalls- so imagining. There are about 24 along the fjardara River in Seydisfjorour- but believe will also meet many sheep! #thinkingofnextsummer#abstractpainting #acrylicpainting #mixedmedia #waterfalls#landscape#patternsraptors

Thinking of rolling cloud gathering things up in its path, some kind of crazy atonal chords #abstractpainting #acrylicpainting #patterns #spinning

Painting on paper; it kept changing its mind, but maybe a bit to do with rain on the way- bracing for rainbow drops ?r#abstractpainting #acrylicpaintingonpaper#feathersonwind#airstreams#earth.nullschool.net

Last day in Magic hills, watched swallows moving in changing constellations, a red shouldered hawk, my knocking woodpecker buddies and the light show. An amazing, generous place- and people, hope to keep the space inside somehow. While painting on this one, was also watching colored fog slide thru the ravine. Doesn't get much better. #paintingwithcloudsinroom#lovebishoppinepreserve#goinghometomyboyz

Never know what will happen over the hills! #inverness#virga #listeningtofoxcallsnow

Tonight's light show. While on a step stool painting, could see colored clouds and mist moving - sublime!

Painting finished since school ended , 60" tall. Thinking about open spaces , Jizo San -protector of children , and sweetpeas rearranging their petals while you try to paint them . #abstractpainting?#koya#flowersdonotholdstill

Thinking about sky shards, baby katydids with very long stripey antennae, the squad at school , patient genius nephew teaching me the W, Chester dreaming of the lawn we don't have, weaving fingers through all this abundance. #nativeplants#forktailedbushkatydid#W#bfa

They're back! The Monarchs are laying eggs again; I am ridiculously thrilled native milkweed has reappeared -tall and fuzzy..could not resist bringing some eggs inside studio.
