and through the rock on which I sat
silently in peace…*
*from the Daily Napkin
I camped alone on the shore of the lake, forsaken by none, embraced by moonlit breezes, wakened from slumber by the whispering pines, calmed into dream by the waters song. I would have lingered longer on that distant and isolated shore if not for the mysterious longing that called my heart home.

This is a result of combining an ink drawing and two paintings.
Every year
I discover
anew
the beauty
and majesty
that appears
without fail
come spring
as if
the birds
deliver it
on wings
of surprise
while I
impatiently
await
further
developments
without any
embarassment
whatsoever
The multiple image thing was fun yesterday, and I once again have a functioning scanner, so today I played with this cartoony sketch, adding layers of color, texture, and handmade stamps.
I got this email today from Deke.com about how to get a Warhol-esque image in Photoshop. It intrigued me, so I thought that I would try it. The problem with that is that I frequently ignore rules, or instructions, or whatever. Such was the case with this. I totally did not read the instructions at all, until after I was done. Then I said, outloud, ” Ooops, I didn’t do that.” I, in fact did not do anything that had been suggested. Oh well, I had fun doing these bright, non-Warhol, non-portraits. I guess that’s all that matters. Right?
