I can’t believe that I forgot to take a photo of the oil painting WIP on the easel today after working on it for hours in the afternoon. I have a photo of my palette, but not one of the current state of the painting. Too funny! I also have a photo of the side garden, which is currently filled with blue-blooming Chionodoxa, known as glory-of-the-snow, and assorted daffodil cultivars. This is the view from my kitchen window, and it changes all season depending on many factors. In the big planter, I have a curly willow planted in a pot within the big container since it would otherwise expand so big with sucker shoots that it could cause problems. I take cuttings to root for people who would enjoy having this plant. Notice also, on the garage wall, there are two aluminum prints of my artwork. Those aluminum prints have been hanging there for a few years now, and I get to enjoy them from the view inside my own home.

These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and  Poughkeepsie, NY.
