Hi Lady.

I actually gasped a little when I saw the image on the left. Fabulous!

I opened each of your latest - one by one -- which is no small thing when you have a dial up connection! Lovely -- all of them. Photographs? Painting of photographs?

(ps) I live thirty minutes outside of Fairbanks in a little cabin in the woods and thanks for checking out my website : )

Thanks for stopping by my page. I did notice you have a thing for blues in your gallery. I figured you either lived by the sea or spent a lot of time there and I notice in your bio above you did spend time at sea so it certainly makes sense. I do like texture but haven't gone to far into exploring it yet. I'll put it on my list of to do's though! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff later!

I love your work and especially your sculpture, which seems different
in approach.  My high school photography students love
the darkroom too.  When they drop that first sheet into a tray of
developer and watch the image come, they are forever enamored with the
process.  Your paintings make me think of my friend George Dunbar who
reminds me about his work, "My paintings contain whatever a viewer sees
in them."

Hi Stephanie,

I can only imagine that living out at Sea showed you what is truly important in life!

thank you for your really nice compliments! I am really curious about the photo you took of the woman with the umbrella?  Is it at a wedding, at a street market...Even in this red and orange...you included that aqua blue....Love it!

Left your heart in SF did ya?

I know I LOVE it there and miss it terribly!

 

Being a Woman on the Sea would be a very interesting perspective I would think!!!!!

Hey thank you for your great comments and observations.  the one photo on the river (ghostly)  I also have in color and it is so different black and white vs color.....

I think that would make for an incredible day to see the sunrise and then the sunset..I lived in Berkeley for many years at the top of the hills and looked out to the Golden Gate and the Ocean beyond...I got to see many gorgeous sunsets, but it's funny few sunrises except for the color display on the western sky...because the sun was coming up on the otherside of the hills.....

I'll have to check out your blog.. do you write about your experiences at sea?

Hi,  enjoyed looking through your gallery....I love the reds and oranges with a little of the aquas, very energizing yet peaceful combinations....

As a fisherman did you see many amazing sunsets out at Sea?  Your paintings make me think of Ocean sunsets.....
