Here is an interesting tableau of pears that I found while taking my morning walk. It felt like I had somehow stumbled upon a secret hiding place where someone had placed four pears to ripen.
There they were waiting for the return of whomever put them there for safe keeping. A pair of worker’s gloves resting [...]

thought for the day:
“‘Tis like the birthday of the world,
When earth was born in bloom;
The light is made of many dyes,
The air is all perfume:
There’s crimson buds, and white and blue,
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers.”
- Thomas Hood

with spring in the air,
a mild March afternoon,
with the breath of April stirring,
I am alone in the quiet patio
looking for [...]

I then left the doctor’s office and everything was bright and blurry. My husband laughed when he saw me wearing those big plastic glasses.
I guess I looked pretty weird. [...]

Later in the afternoon, I was able to work in the studio and started laying in the background colors on this painting. I also [...]
