Winter 2013

With the arrival of the Frankensturm, that may deliver some first and very early snow to our little town, I began thinking of the next, Winter 2013 Art Walk.  may not participate in that one either--it's all getting too expensive. But, had I entered that February 2013 art show, I might (or might not) have entered what I call, Reflections--pictures of shiny things and their mirrored reflections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahhh, such nice little shiny things.

Had I entered the Art Walk for this coming November show, these pieces might have been included, a Fall retrospective.  Click on any of the pictures to get a slide show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buttery Critters

Well finally a butterfly arrived in our little garden. We have been awaiting their arrival all summer, with many of our plants inviting their return and visit. So, this morning, a swallowtail arrived to dine at our garden cafe. They are such lovely, gentle creatures.

And finally, a monarch arrived in all its glory, truly a glamorous critter.

And with the ending of the grand Olympics, I thought we should acknowledge one of the masters of form, our very own hummers. Here are two shots worthy of the gold, for form at least.

Studies in Red

I just completed a small DVD with pictures and some music, titled Studies in Red. The studies are dominated by our brilliant red, Rose Mallow, but many other red flowers are included. A sampling is presented below:

Remembrance of Summer

Summer is here . . . with a vengeance some might say, especially if you live in the midwest. But Fall will be here at some stage and I am anticipating looking back, as winter approaches, on summery scenes and flowers. Maybe some of these scenes will even grace an Art Walk. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.
So, enjoy some scenes, even if a bit weird, from summer.
