Lost in the Santa Cruz Mountains




Wintertime 1908 Winter Time 2008 Rivertime Wintertime Everytime. Muddy mountain water going 10 miles to rivermouth to make those dandy sand-bars right off the point at the beach going left and right and washing down the coast to fill up the yacht harbor and build up off the jetty and make those hot harbor shacks.

ACEO



Every ACEO I sell is matted.
I shrink wrap them because it protects them,
but also, the wrap resembles glass at a tiny scale.
Matted and shrinkwrapped, they are just very, very pretty.
I keep my ACEO's in a basket.
For display, I make tiny easles.
An easle can be quickly and simply made
using chopsticks and white glue.

Sparky's Mom


That spark plug is no idle
still life. It's real life.
This is where the spark plug
came from. The engine failed
and I had the head on my
kitchen table. All of my
pictures are true stories
from my life.

Floating Trees



I hope you will click on this picture and get the large
version. You can see the detail in this tiny painting.
Colors still not right though.

These very trees do very float above the San Lorenzo River, on a cliff, and hang into the sky, just like the picture. Bay trees. Poison oak below.

With this painting, and all the rest too, but especially this one,
you just can't even see it here. The details of the tiny leaves is simply escaped with the missing
pixels.
