Holiday Ends

The holiday gathering ends and everyone leaves. You can see that they left. It is written on the driveway.

Another Jew, Actually

Here is an odd little story from about 40 years ago… that came to mind recently. It seems more relevant now than it was then, and I present it in the middle of the Christmas-Hannukah muddle. After camping alone in New Hampshire on a long weekend, I stopped for lunch on the way home.  It […]

New Window!

I had new windows put in and assumed that the new large-pane windows would not give me the nifty results the old 6-pane windows gave. Pleasantly surprised to see a different sort of window-screen dance going on. So I can continue to take endless portraits of my window.  Small victory.

Sky Leaf

It was actually a Mercedes Benz whose hood was hosting the leaf, the droplets, and the reflection of the clouds. I just wandered past it.

Yellow In December

Graphic Ratings of the Phases of the Moon

I have been noticing that certain phases of the moon produce pleasing shapes and those shapes get used in paintings, photos, and graphic designs. But there is another set of phrases, just above the half moon, up to just below the full moon that are not great shapes. They are lumpy. They look like potatoes. […]

Watching Paint Dry

At my local Benjamin Moore paint store asking for help to paint 48 aluminum boxes with a different color on each side for my newest interactive sculpture. People will be able to move each box up and down and also rotate them. With different colors on each side of the boxes it should be big-time […]
