New vase alert

Or is it a cup? No matter. It's swell. Hey, it's supposed to be fall. Northern California gave us just a little bit more summer and then the first big rain came.

Orchid Dreams

Wild orchids painted on bamboo panels.  Have a show coming up in two weeks at Chrome Architecture in San Rafael. Seems kind of misnamed since it's such a warm, beautiful loft space.  It houses a firm that specializes in green energy projects- I mean- I guess chrome is involved somehow.... It's exciting because the space is so large that I can spread out and show a lot of work.

Green Gulch Zen Center, Northern California

A quintessential  Northern California day; fog streaming around on the coast and then sunny fifteen minutes inland. Organic gardens fill the green gulch where the the Zen Retreat Center nestles. A path runs through the garden and eventually dead ends in the ocean. It was a hard choice between this excursion and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and it didn't disappoint.
