-a good read

eclipse

The moon passed in front of the sun this evening. After using a pin- hole projection and looking through 6 pairs of sunglasses, this most amazing shadow was cast through the peach tree leaves in repetition for us to enjoy. 6:45pm. Santa Cruz, California

multiplicity

Self-portraits are scary enough for me, so times 3 is terrifying! Thought I'd play with multiplicity while trying to gain some ease with selfies.

I'm experimenting with a series of my paintings and photographs combined.

Brownie Starflex

Last weekend I scored this little Brownie Starflex at the flea-market for $3. The books are old engineering books.

the colors of California Poppies

Just enough rain this season to make those spectacular wildflowers burst open. This was taken on highway 1 south of Big Sur.

color bar

Thank you, Rita, at the coffeeshopblog for the color bar action. Fun

UPPERCASE

I love this publication! The subtitle explains it all - "a magazine for the creative and curious". There are artists' works and interviews, informative articles, and even book reviews. The art is varied and exceptional, the paper and ink are good quality, and an added bonus - no advertisements. This Canadian published gem can be found at www.uppercasemagazine.com 
   ( #12 cover art is by Anne Smith and the Bantam is mine) Fun and inspiring.

Here's a desktop calendar for you to download. My irises are finally blooming. Happy May.
