Graffiti Urges

Image
I know it's a scourge to property owners who are often required by local laws to cover it up at their own expense, but I have to admit that well-executed and imaginative graffiti intrigues me. But I express my urges in a nice, polite, digital form.

Love Stuffing

Image
I must admit that I think I've drifted to some far, far shore in a Land of Lovelessness. When I hear the "Be My. . . " part of Be My Valentine, I just think of Mr. Rogers and "Won't you be my neighbor?" I think somewhere along the line, all the love stuffing  got pulled out of me.

Full Moon

Image
It might have been the full moon and the penumbral eclipse (which I couldn't really see  because the eclipse was too close to moon rise here in the Puget Sound region, so the moon was still dallying behind  a curtain of Douglas firs) that had me remembering my first trip to Paris. Springtime in Paris. A lover's dream. I've celebrated Midsummer's Night in Paris. Not much interested in winter in Paris. I'd rather winter in Provence. But October in Paris. . . . that sounds lovely. With a side trip to Burgundy and Champagne. Haven't seen those regions yet. Let's raise a glass to exploring old and new places to love.

It must be the incipient arrival of Valentine's Day that makes me hopeful and thinking of love. Its power. Its ability to inspire. Its steadiness.

Stuck in the Middle

   Stuck in the Middle with You Could U.S. politics get any crazier? I hope not.

Overwhelmed?

Image
Regroup. Recharge. Redirect, even. But keep on keepin' on. The world needs your energy, your vision, your dedication.

Abstract No. 43

Image
I'm drawn to this color palette. . .  soft blues and greens, punched up with some hot pink, peach, and yellows. And then bold black/charcoal for a counterpoint. Abstract No. 43
