My sister's Xmas tree fell over, breaking one of my nephew's favorite ornaments. So I tried to turn the situation around by creating another with papier-mâché. It was a very satisfying experience.

My nephew and I took 5 minute turns each until we finished this birthday card for my friend.  We were leaving a cabin we rented, when I found this amazing felled tree.  Sometimes my photography can be quite spontaneous. Here is an example where I was crossing a tiny footbridge and saw this incredible plant.  Saw these unusual "mud and mineral balls" in a store in Asheville, North Carolina. I can't remember the correct name for them, but absolutely love them.   A few years ago, I completed an installation comparing The Black Plague to modern diseases. Of course, this followed that I researched antique rat traps. While in a museum, I finally got to see one in person.   I also ran across this cat mummy, which is pretty incredible. It's very possible it may not be authentic, but I love it regardless.  Visited the impressive Denver Art Museum for the first time. I was joined with my aunt. The museum has a great collection and I was positively affected by their engagement of the public with a working artist.

I'm getting ready to paint an anatomy picture of a dissected leg. I also painted some small wood panels to prepare for smaller paintings.    Today I had to figure out the correct size for rubber tubing for the installation Lay Still.  |
