It’s been a hectic start to the new semester with a stressful and steep learning curve in color photo. The hand-colored black and white images are matted and I will post some in a few days but in the meantime, the last of the Alaska series is here, for now at least. I have started on a Texas roads series and I will post one of those soon as well.

Spring is coming, the days are getting a little warmer and there is a hint of green in the

grass which is welcome. The birds and squirrels are noisy and active, I love hearing them early in the morning. Stay in touch all!

We have had a difficult two weeks, epic joy balanced with deep sorrow. My mom turned 75 and we had a surprise birthday party for her in Vermont. It went off without a hitch and I am relieved to not have to lie anymore, I’m not very good at it. Larry’s brother Bo died quickly after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, a tragedy to say the least. Emotionally, we have run the gamut; physically, my body is screaming at me for lack of sleep and too many oversold flights up and down the east coast. Happily, we are home and the routine, often viewed as drudgery, is surprisingly welcome.

I have started the Alaska Series. Here are a few beginnings.

Summer has given way to slightly cooler mornings which is lovely. We had some rain yesterday that we needed desperately. I am working on an Alaska series and I will post images soon, oil bar and oil on panel. Apologies for not keeping up with this better but school is in full swing!
