All That is Visible

Atlanta State Park in northeast Texas is absolutely gorgeous. I sat one evening, warmed by a crackling campfire, and looked up far beyond the towering pine trees at the dark, dark sky filled with stars and a delightfully bright planet.

The Moment Before the Calm Returns

 I posted a photo of this piece, still all drippy and wet, and asked friends what they saw. My friend and amazing artist, Mindy Graber, wrote something that seemed just so right.

"Beautiful... makes me think of sitting on a dune at the ocean when a gust of wind swirls all the elements before my eyes, the moment before the calm returns."

With a little help from a hair dryer the piece was just dry enough for me to display at last weekend's Studio Tour.
