Camille’s room
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007
While in Alberta I painted my neice Camille’s room then a mural based on her ideas, the bedding design, and colors. I love that creativity is portable, and if staying somewhere for two weeks or longer I usually do a favor for my hosts. I tell them ”Use me!”.

It has rained so much this year in Texas, so the sunshine is most welcome!
Joseph
Sunday, July 15th, 2007
Joseph At The Park (15 months old) - 11 x 14 inches pencil and eraser on paper
The whole drawing process has been photographed every few minutes, with intentions to create a YouTube video. I was preoccupied taking photos every few minutes, drawing with my right hand while taking pictures with the left, so drawing Joseph was a unique experience. I wouldn’t want to draw that way regularly because it was much more difficult; I realized how much I get in a zone where everything but the drawing is tuned out, sometimes for hours. Here though, my mind was forced to stay more “on the surface”, much more conscious of every mark.

Back from Canada
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007
…back after two weeks of driving from Texas to Ontario and back the long route this time through North carolina just so we could see it…and thanks to the invention of the digital camera my daily image requirements remain satisfied!
Maple trees are common almost everywhere between Texas and Canada, here are some branches in honor of Canada Day, held on July 1st. This shot was taken at Jones Falls Dam near Kingston, Ontario.
