William deBuys: Coyotes

I’ve quoted William deBuys in my posts and on other Wisdom Wednesdays before. I love this author and highly recommend his books. For me, The Walk has been deeply inspiring, affecting how I walk on my land. This passage came to mind because the coyotes have been so vocal lately. Whatever I am doing I […]

What do Artists Need?

I just watched, over the last three nights, three amazing biographies: Alfred Stieglitz: The Eloquent Eye, Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision, and The Life and Work of Sally Mann.

Opening at Ghost Pony Gallery, Truchas, NM

As I’ve said before, many of the artists living up here on the High Road have their own galleries, while often showing in others as well. Like several throughout the villages, Trish Booth and Leonardo Pieterse have theirs, Ghost Pony Gallery, in their home. It’s a perfect scenario because they don’t have to leave to […]
