It is nearly 9:00. I am sitting outside a little bakery with a cup of coffee and morning school traffic straggling by. There are so many people in this world and so many stories which are written already. I would like to read them. This morning, there are lots of people, all going somewhere, all thoroughly […]
SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN – 8X5 – OIL PASTEL ON PAPER – $400 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

A THIN MOMENT – acrylic on board – 8×8 – $800 There was a storm on the highlands. A storm unlike anything Patience had ever witnessed.

This is a painting I did of my Grandma Helma’s first home in America. Helma came from Finland to Ellis Island when she was 11. (we found her name there during a New York visit several years ago) Her parents could afford 1 ticket. She was the most adaptable of their 5 children so she was chosen for this
LES BELLES POULLES “These chickens were born and raised in France. To be specific, in the Dordogne river valley. They speak French. (I know this because they didn’t understand a word I said.)
