I am in Canada for Christmas and the lights are wonderful at night especially in the snow. several parks have very complex light displays so I thought I would have fun with some night exposures. Who knew I would catch Santa in the process! Ho Ho Ho everyone!

Our weekly figure drawing group has dissolved. It's a victim to rising rents in the area. The artist who hosted it had to move and now I am in search of a new group that is easy to get to by public transit. Life and its changes, like the wash on the paper you never know what it is going to do. You adapt and hope that it turns out to be something beautiful and good.

This was a spellbinding scene as the fog rolled in on Market street at the Ferry Building. I took this with my cell phone and hope that one day it will become a large painting. sometimes the magic happens and we have to be there to experience it and then try to share it. the challenge: how to keep the feel of being captured in the motion of the fog and moving light. yet, it is the Muni bus wires that are the real star here and capture my eye.

this is one of those little drawing that seems to connect with people. I did it more as a doodle but when I showed it to some people, many people seemed to think it looked like someone they know. Ithink I can turn this into a painting. it just shows you that you never know what will surface when you doodle. like magic. like an old friend calling out to you over the years.
