Blooms

Summer is on her way!

Amur Leopard

Rare, and beautiful is the Amur Leopard.

Observed

Pop in two quarters, and the view is stupendous.

Fog Monster

Coastal fog swoops in during the months of May and June. “May Grey” and “June Gloom” to be specific! It can make for a very dreary summer – I know as I used to live on the beach. Move a half mile inland, and sunshine abounds. The eco system along parts of California depend on the fog.

Hot press Arches 140# paper makes for a lot of fun scumbling paint and blending it with a hard brush. The paper held up very well to all the abuse I heaped upon its smooth surface.

Beach House

I started this painting some time ago, got distracted, and forgot about it. While looking for paper yesterday, I came across it and decided it would need to be finished up. It got abandoned, really, as it did not seem to be working out when I put it aside.
