New book: "Color & Landscape"

 My new book is titled Color & Landscape. It's filled with beautiful colored drawings/paintings and my thoughts about what those categories even mean.

It's 67 full color pages, 11 1/2 x 8 1/4", paperback, $18.00 w/o shipping.

from the Introduction:

"Drawing or Painting? Who cares? If I draw on canvas, is it a painting? If I paint on paper is it a drawing? Which has more to say? Which has more to tell us? Whatever your opinion, truth is, the artist only wants to steal some of your precious time (you will be rewarded) and could care less about these categories."

End of the Year

 

Happy New Year (almost)

A pair of Hooded Mergansers and reflections of houses in the Charles River in South Natick.

Crows Today

Last night and into today: the first snow of the winter season. A dusting was the perfect foil for a family of crows which foraged in the plowed garden beds at the arboretum.

The Cardinal

Is a flock of cardinals a conclave? Would you birds please intervene here! The humans seem to have some serious problems. I wonder what the animals would enact were they to vote and legislate?

Black eyed Susan

I haven't been walking much since I hurt my leg but I have been able to focus on things closer to home. My wife built and tends this garden in our backyard and the rest of us benefit. Black eyed Susan is particularly lush right now.

There is Life Everywhere

There is life everywhere.
Just be patient and the animals will show themselves. Just be patient and enjoy the waiting (don't look at your phone, just wait). Pretty simple.
