    Afternoon with an Osprey

    Afternoon with an Osprey

    I typically associate ospreys with open water; so, this afternoon when I spotted one hunting for fish beside a lake at a nearby park (not what I would call “open water”), I was more than a little surprised. I was also delighted because I’d never encountered an osprey anywhere other than the coast–and I’d never…

    You Can’t Ignore What You Can’t See & Other Art

    You Can’t Ignore What You Can’t See, paper collage, 2023 Here are my latest experiments in collage art. I made all of these within the past two days, and I had great fun with them. I hope the “fun” translates and you enjoy them, as well. I’ve included music, as usual. I love pairing my…

    On the Art of Sensitivity

    On the Art of Sensitivity

    Butterfly Lounge, paper collage, 2023 The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To them… a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god,…

    Birds of Winter, Part V (Early Spring)

    Birds of Winter, Part V (Early Spring)

    Mourning Dove When I started birding about two years ago, I had assumed it would be a fairly “hands off” pastime. That is, I would hang a feeder (or two or three). The birds would eat, and I would observe from a distance. It didn’t occur to me that we would ever interact. That I…

    On Creative Energy

    On Creative Energy

    Wild and Free, paper collage, 2022 Creativity is energy being put to work in a constructive fashion. Frank X. Barron I am not certain when I began thinking of creativity in terms of energy, or life force. Though, to be sure, I have long associated my own creativity with the inner experience of having too…

    Skyway & Other Art

    Skyway & Other Art

    Skyway, paper collage, 2023 I wasn’t quite happy with the artwork I posted earlier this week. It was OK, I suppose, but it wasn’t what I would have liked. I posted it because I assumed I wouldn’t be making any more artwork this week. And that’s alright, I thought. Some weeks are like that. What…

    A Tale of Two Hawks

    A Tale of Two Hawks

    Red-shouldered Hawk I love to spend Sunday mornings outdoors, provided it’s sunny and not too cold. It’s a routine I’ve really come to cherish over the past year or so: coffee, a book, perhaps, or some music, and the birds. And this morning was just perfect for it. The sun is shining. There’s not a…

    The Tease & Other Art

    The Tease & Other Art

    The Tease, paper collage, 2023 My favorite collages are those that make me 1.) laugh or 2.) feel as if I am inhabiting another space for awhile…or, ideally, a bit of both. The first criterion is often the easier of the two to fill. Usually, when I sit down at my work table to collage,…
