Ready to hang

I added a few special touches to a painting that didn't quite ring my chimes.  I'm much happier with it now.

Signs of spring

The cherry tree in our front yard is coming into bloom.  After a long gray winter it's a welcome sight.

Tools of the trade

These brushes are my daily companions.  What would I do without them?

Mortar and pestle

Today I made couscous for lunch.  I tend to have a heavy hand with herbs and spices.

I took this photo just as a joke but when I looked at it on the computer I discovered that I actually liked it.

My special cup

Click on image to enlarge.

I've already mentioned my love of strong coffee, coffee houses and my favorite barista so I thought I might as well show you my favorite cup.  I have mocha in this cup almost every evening.  Mocha just doesn't taste as good in any other vessel.

Tonight it's raining so Jim delivered my evening mocha to the studio for me.  What a guy!

Show at Hoover City Hall

Click on image to enlarge.

I have a show up at Hoover City Hall. The gallery space is lovely--spacious and well-lighted.  Everyone at the mayor's office and at the Hoover Art's Alliance has been really nice and easy to work with.  I'm very pleased.  The show will hang until the end of April.

Urban Standard has a great coffeehouse vibe.  And great coffee, too.

Hawking's Dream

Click on image to enlarge.

This is my latest painting.  I call it "Hawking's Dream" because we just watched "The Theory of Everything" last night and this piece reminds me of planets and stars and time and space and all those things that fascinate me but that are beyond my comprehension.
