live. and in color.

It's Friday, dears. Tell me what is on your mind.
I'm thinking about electricity. And web hosts.
And open sources.

And walks around the neighborhood first thing in the morning.
Also, I'm thinking about next steps. For the fun of it, I'll tell you what my next round of short-term goals are: 1)get my work up locally... somewhere, 2) get in on the Poppytalk handmade market, 3)launch my website.

Oh, and keep riding my bike.
And I've been wanting to submit my work to trunkt. I'd better get that done, too.

David Bowie Sky.

The story behind this piece begins with David Bowie, whom I have really dug my whole life. What fantastic characters he has created for himself over the span of his life. Amazing. There is another part of my David Bowie love that inspired this sketch, and that is my favorite Phish song: "David Bowie." Oh it's quite lovely. Sometimes my art is just about people or things I dig. Ya dig?

The Mountain is Out Today

Honestly, I have a trusty inner-compass. It knows which way is north or at least which way will get us home in most circumstances. It never hurts to have a big physical feature to help with orientation and combobulation, though. My big physical feature in Portland was Mount Hood. In Colorado, the front range gave me a general idea of which way west was. Now, I look for good ol' Rainier. Here she is.

Beachy birthday bliss

It's officially my birthday. The sun is shining on and off this morning in our fair emerald city. My chai tasted delicious on the morning walk with husband and hound. Life is good. This beachy little watercolor is a birthday girl's dream. We live close to a beach, so perhaps the family and I will walk down to the water for a little swim this evening. Delightful.
