The amaranth is ready to harvest! After all the flower heads are picked, they'll be hung in a cool, dry place and the seeds will drop out. With all the beauty of color and texture, I thought I'd ta...

It's all about peaches this week! A still life is always good for practice and these are too pretty not to study!
I enjoyed setting up the still life, playing with the light, and mixing the ...
I was in the grocery store produce section. My heart skipped a beat and an audible squeal escaped from beneath my mask. New Mexico peppers have found their way to me!!!

I took yesterday off for some much needed rest. While gathering chicken eggs, I disturbed a new hornet nest in the coop. I was stung 5 times. The worst two on my palm and on my right thigh (picture...

This white track suit is a garment that is more about silly fun than comfort. I had hoped that it would be breezy and comfortable, but it may actually be better suited to a little bit cooler ...

There are so many of these Coke advertisements painted on the buildings of Atlanta. Some are old and some are new. It's kind of cool seeing how they've aged over time and seeing the sty...

I decided to have a little bit of fun with one of my peach photos and made a fake album cover!

Peaches! I began today with getting the sketch down on the canvas. Which took a bit longer than anticipated, as this is a challenging reference photo! First, the face is at a tilted angle, which re...

It is peach harvesting season! My little "Cherokee Peach" trees have given me an abundance this year! As always, I am drawing inspiration from nature. Everything about these peaches is beautiful: f...

Just a little footage of an artist at work. I was completing some final details on "Sunset". It isn't glamourous, but it's a rewarding job.

Here's a poem that I really enjoy. If you think that every poem needs to end with a nice tidy ending you may not like it.

I think these two are complete!
I'm happy with the layering and texturing around the outside edge shown in the first photo. It lends a feeling of age, wear, and grit. I think I'll call this ...

Today, I'm working on creating a clean edge for this piece. I've already covered the edge with papier mache. This will provide a smooth finish around the outside edge once it's dried. Then, I'll co...
