The objects and piles of things in the new space
look strangely beautiful early in the morning.
The sculpture is of my father. My handmade paper is
framed on the wall. The light will be most welcome here.

Also, you can now see my "news" on Squint. This is the blog for
the University of Hartford Limited Residency MFA Illustration
program directed by the famous Murray Tinkleman. Our faculty
includes "Amazing Greats"such as Nancy Stahl, Gary Kelly, CF Payne,
Alice Carter, Ted Lewin, Betsy Lewin, and now Zina Saunders!

Dogs in the neighborhood

Robin's Egg

Found this little gem in the garden this morning. How it survived a fall from the tree is a mystery. From what I can surmise, the advice is to leave it where you find it....slim chances of survival being raised by humans even if the chick did survive the fall. How about that blue though? amazing...

It's beginning to feel a lot like Spring...

cat compositions

A few cat moments. I like that once in awhile I can catch Jack and Bella in the act of being elegant.

World Aids Day: Photography Exhibit

An exhibit opening this Friday, by friends, Lesli and Kirk Van Zandbergen

Artists' Open House Weekend

It is hard to stay indoors this weekend! Beautiful weather and fall colors enticed me to visit some artist friends at this weekend's annual Artists' Open House Weekend in Susquehanna Pa. Kirk and Lesli VanZandbergen (professional photographers) opened the doors to their Brackney, PA studio. In addition to the great photos they have 2 llamas, a great dog "Zeke"and the best home made maple syrup which I stocked up on. Last year, I designed the label with Kirk and Zeke on it. They also have a studio in downtown Binghamton. Then went to visit Colleen at Sea Hag Soaps and Art Mercantile where she sells Evelyn Lawrence's rugs.
Great virtual tour on Hag website. Look at some of her hooked rugs under "artists" on the Sea Hag site. Have a nice weekend...
