Picasso Laughs
Beijing, China
2016

One of a handful of Picasso sculptures we were pleased to come across at the various museums we toured in Beijing. (I don’t know what the real name of this one was so created my own.)

The Fast and the Forlorn
Beijing, China
2016

Two different works of art at the National Museum of Art, unrelated except for their proximity, invite a whole new interpretation when viewed in combination.

Shadow Art
Beijing, China
2016

I’m not too interested in porcelain vases etc., but last December while walking through the room containing the porcelain display at The National Art Museum of China, the shadows under one of the tables holding the display created a composition that I liked a lot.

Spent Beauty #17
Bozeman, Montana
2016

I have a collection of things, plant, animal, and mineral, sitting in around in my studio in haphazard groups waiting to become part of an inspired still-life composition some day. These particular items on my window sill seemed nicely arranged by accident and in the morning light the faded colors glowed nicely.

The Mote in God’s Eye
Seattle, Washington
2014

Trolling for interesting but neglected images among my old photographs I came across this one taken in a hallway of the Seattle Art Museum. The image immediately reminded me of a science fiction book of the same name I read many years ago. It was quite a good read as I remember.

Fragile Capstone
Death Valley National Park, California
2017

There looked to be some capstone covering parts of the sand dunes in Death Valley. But it consisted of very porous and fragile sandstone and seemed to be quickly disintegrating, becoming  just more loose sand to be blown around by the wind.
