April showers

Now is when the trees and flowers begin to bud in southeast Massachusetts.

it happened one day

Meandering art that wandered upon this piece of paper.

Being on the beach always inspires beach and ocean art.  There are so many wonderful places and things to explore along the shoreline.  There are edible shellfish and seaweed that can be plucked and eaten immediately.  Others are taken home and steamed to perfection.  Edible art inspirations.

tea time

In the cold of winter, anytime is tea time.

whoosh!

Another windy day at the beach.

I happened upon this wonderful world from an inadvertent image search through google.com.  It looks like an amazing place to be.

windswept city

The strong, variable winds blow constantly, so the skins of the buildings are built of corrugated, hot-pressed banana leaves.  The buildings can sway and stretch with the winds.  No petroleum products needed.

downtown

This is from the cover of TIME magazine, March 17, 2014.  Lower Manhattan with the crowning of the new World Trade Center.

road trip part 1

I just had to illustrate the roadtrip from Wimberley Texas to Peabody, Massachusetts. 

Aside from a white-out blizzard in the mountains of West Virginia, the weather was great and the adventure was really enjoyable and safe. Cheers to my new life in New England!

things

Individual drawings from a 3 x 4 inch sketchbook I keep in my purse. The more urban things are from downtown Salt Lake City. The others are from the rural areas of the Texas Hill Country.

giant wooly moth

I think this moth had just come into the world. The wings are very short, so this is the only explanation I can come up with.

rain!

Oh wonderful rain! It's been so long since we have had substantial rain. Now it is here, a day of celebration! The whole world needs it. For me it's like a nurturing cleansing of the soul. I love rain.
