So this week I’ve been working in the garden, mudding and digging, but also getting some ideas for new paintings.  Scents and textures outside always rev up my senses; my fingers itch to find a paintbrush (or a sennlier soft pastel) and start moving it around.

I took some beautiful tripod iris photos under an overcast sky and also some photos of new work.  I now have this photo taped alongside a nice roomy 22×28 canvas. ..(i think it’s 22?) So now it’s time to head out to the St. Louis Art Museum and follow some brushstrokes.  Good times!

Meanwhile, here is a my collage in honor of Bob Dylan’s seventieth birthday!
