This coming Wednesday Finn will have been with me for two weeks–see previous post, Rescue Dog: Meet Finn (Survivor). It fills my heart with joy all the ways this sweet, sweet dog has come around. He is putting on weight faster than I’d hoped was possible. He sleeps, something he really couldn’t do very well […]
Artist Materials From the Land
As most of you know I’ve begun a new series of paintings I’m calling The Micaceous Series. A reader of the blog, Grace Kane, calls them my earth paintings and she is so right. I am making them with earth and straw, the recipe for adobe. The longer I live here on this land, the […]
