I had so much fun sharing images from my photographic sketchbook, and sharing everything I learned at Hallmark about photographing flowers, that I thought I would share some more with you. These are some of my favorites of the ubiquitous jalapeno cans in Guanajuato, Mexico that were outside of the scope of the Love Rust show. Continue reading
October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again.

My fun looks a lot like my work and my work looks a whole lot like my fun. They both look like a lot of travel with a camera up to my face, and time in the studio experimenting with materials and techniques. However, they often feel distinctly different to me, like the difference between a sketch book and a canvas. Or maybe between listening and talking. Continue reading
Too QuietThe last of our artist house guests left this morning. Combine that with the end of the show season, and it is going to get really quiet around here. I am going to be happy to have the house and studio to myself for about a minute and then I’ll begin to miss all the noise and ruckus.
Knowing that you are all very busy, and that sometimes the important tasks that you would like to get to get pushed down the list for the urgent things that must be done, I have made a little something for you. A boilerplate to make things easier. Continue reading

The fall weather and our return home after summer shows means it must be time for one of my favorite things! A house full of some of the most talented artists in the country and the PLAZA ART FAIR!
After a great evening in the crisp air on the back porch, an evening of catching up, of great food and laughs so hard my side still hurts this morning, we are all on our way (shortly, in my case) to set up our booths for the last festival of the year. And it couldn’t be better. The weather is going to be PERFECT. Our friends are all gathered (both at our house and near the corner of Central and Nichols in the show). And it is time for what is sure to be the best show of the year!
Details of the show and the special celebration offering can be found in the email sent to subscribers. If you would like to receive these emails please sign up here and you can get in on the fun.

Why I can't write more...
After a great show at the Sun Valley Arts and Crafts Festival, great camping in the Sawtooth National Recreational Area, and some great meals, Kyle and I made our way to the Canadian Border where we stored our van and camper for a few days to vacation in Vancouver with our great friends and hosts, Jim Brown and Matt VanderWerff.
