This is Festus the crow. Festus and Rufus have been our friends.  They are life long partners and we have been talking to them and feeding them treats for years. I have been talking to Crows for many years. I can imitated their calls and often we caw back and forth. What fun! We enjoy our relationships with animals and especially these highly intelligent birds…’Camera Obscura’ Series

Painting landscapes usually reflect a mood. This landscape was about color, having fun with color and minor on detail. I recommend to just have fun with painting. It is your world to live in for a short time!…’Landscape’ Series

Painting out-of-doors is a pleasure. The world is flowing just in front of your eyes and you go quickly from eye to hand. It is a wonderful way to attach one self to nature…’Landscape’ Series

 An Artistic story...The Suns rays falling upon a forest

I took a picture of an old dried cut on a tree. I saw something initially but did not know what it was that caught my attention. I had to discover what was the attraction because it called to me, looking at me and asking to be seen…’Noir’ Series

Unusually warm weather today for March. The Sun was high in the sky and just went behind a Douglas Fir Tree. My Camera Obscura was next to me so I had to take the picture and share it with you. I truly enjoy the old world effect…’Camera Obscura’ Series

My lens fell out off the Camera Obscura as I was taking a picture of the Daffodils that are in full bloom in our region. I like the 3d effect and the brightness of the colors on the screen and along the inside of the box. I thought I would share…’Camera Obscura’ Series

In some ways this image reflects the moon image that I created just before this was posted. Maybe this is a bit of a visual poem with a nod towards the moon.

I used my Camera Obscura and captured the Full Moon hours before the Total Eclipse occurred. I went outside at 3:30 am to capture the event, but there was a fog and so I went back to sleep. The image is stark, but it portraits the vastness of space between the Earth and the Moon….’Camera Obscura’ Series 

March is upon us and Spring is 18 days away. Yes!!…Light through the shear curtains is a metaphor for brighter days to arrive. The world is in a tail spin and I only hope it stops spinning and we can all respect each other in the best possible ways! Peace….’Theatrical’ Series

I want to finish off the last day of February with a Camera Obscura of our orange umbrella and a bird house on the fence. This composition reflects, to me, the nearness of Spring. The umbrella to give shade on sunny days and the bird house to help foster offspring. On March 20th Spring arrives. Looking forward to that day!…’Camera Obscura’ Series
