I'm painting again!

Idyllic China

... Hard for me to believe it has been ten years since my trip to China. A photographer's dream, a place of deep contrasts - here there is peace:

The King and Queen of February

Heartcaught

see the web?

It hides among the leaves of time
to catch the beats of poets' rhyme.
Looks like gold, but turns to steal
hearts that fly/become its meal.

The First Lovers

and you know how that turned out...

Tangled (the Tree)

Mardi Gras II

Daughters

Mardi Gras

Chinese New Year

Snake Coming In

Dragon Going Out

Hot For Me?

"Mixed Media"

When my Lover went away
I put my heart
in the Cuisinart
and made a souffle.

SuperSanta and the Clowns

I have just returned from Santa Land where the End of the World scenario was met with much merriment.  The above photo is from a scene in a play starring (of course) Santa, and a couple of elves in clown costume heedlessly playing with matches near our Globe while Santa tries to cool things off with an ice pak. Sparing you the political nuance I will say the photo was incorporated into my Christmas Card this year.

Incidentally, why can't I find a ringtone for my phone that plays, "The-uh fi-irst No-o-ël the-e aangels did say...")
