She Left Her Red Scarf – (8×8 oil on canvas) As the bus rolls along the highway down from Skye, I photograph the houses that speak to me. I like to imagine the stories in each one. When I saw the red scarf draped over the fence, I knew she had left it there. She

USE YOUR IMAGINATION (8×8/oil on canvas) Use your imagination! God smiles….. Flowers are a lovely gift. I appreciate them more and more.

TELLING THE STORY (8×8/oil on canvas) Still telling the story… Our stories are all around us. Most of us don’t realize we are telling a story as we live our lives.

ANOTHER THIN MOMENT (8×8/oil on canvas) In this night sky only the moon and the stars have a voice. There is no Internet connection, and no phone. I am 4 miles from the Eagle Pub in Dornocht where I can pick up Wi-Fi. Inside my mind, I am a falling star, hurdling through space at breakneck speed. Here I begin

PORTREE, ISLE OF SKYE (8×8/oil on canvas) There is a rainbow in the morning sky. The sun is shining, but it’s still raining. I guess I’ve seen this happen before. Today though, in this place – in this moment – I am particularly aware of the oddness of these juxtapositions. It’s easy to see the
