PALE GOLD ENCHANTMENT


"It was one of those velvety summer evenings - brimming with the hallmarks of a fairy tale: crickets rosining their bows, moon flowers tuning their trumpets, and fireflies preparing to gild twilight in pale gold enchantment."

* an excerpt from my cancer memoir "CAR DEALER'S DAUGHTER" and an illustration from a calendar I'm working on.

THE BACK OF BUS 3


"... so there I sat riding - at the back of BUS 3 - with my head full of questions and my boots full of pee."

FALL LEAVES AND TRILLIUM


The following is a 12"x 72" sculpture I made entitled "Fall Leaves and Trillium." The leaves and trillium flowers were hand cut and sculpted from paper, then painted - the rocks were sculpted from a mixture of plaster and papier mache.



Those fall leaves are certainly falling! It was a perfect Halloween last night: 60 degrees, a big bright moon, and a spooky wind - swirling leaves, costumes and imaginations.
