Hollyhocks

Hollyhocks! Such a beautiful flower.

I was at the Denver Botanic Gardens recently, shooting closeup photos of leaves and plants before fall sets in. I was photographing the hollyhocks when an elderly lady commented about them being a flower of the past. When she was young, she would put a popsicle stick […]

Doggy Down and Yoga

While doing yoga the other day, I was in the ‘doggy down’ stance. I remembered looking at my own dog that morning and observing her doing something similar. So many of those yoga poses relate to animals and nature. There are the zebra, camel, howling cat, tortoise, cow, cobra, lotus, and tree poses. Plus the […]

Underwater…

Is your bank ‘underwater’?

Check out its debt (or depth…)

Many of my Arborglyph monoprints are titled… Under Water . Therefore, I just couldn’t resist looking at this news article. Of course this ‘underwater’ stuff is affecting us all. How do we artists stay afloat when some of our banks are barely swimming.

Something Old, Earth Day!

Earth Day was celebrated recently! I was in the process of creating my new website at the time and as it unfolded, I’ve decided my image content should not only be my newest artwork, but I should include some old series as well. Old themes seem to resurface and the current dialogue today is “green”!

Arbor Day, Arborglyphs…

I too have […]
