My mom put up with 4 of us growing up, but she always seemed to find a way to smile through whatever chaos we caused for her...Thank you mom! :)

When I was a kid I always loved the thought of space travel. The possibilities were endless & exploring the backyard seemed just as adventurous as going to the moon, or mars. A cut out milk carton on your head, served quite well as a make shift space helmet. Tagging along...space dog was always a must on such trips. Still dreaming. Still exploring. ;)

One of the things I love about the Northwest are the seemingly endless paths & trails there are to explore. You never know where a new trail or opportunity will take you, but I always like the wonder of finding out for myself & others to follow. Go for it, and "Leave a trail..." :)

Kevin bought 3 giclee prints from my store recently & then had them framed. He sent this photo of them hanging in his home in Osaka, & I think they look great. It's always fun to see my work pop up in other parts of the world. He's thousands of miles away from me, but seeing these again makes it seem like he's right next door...Thanks for sending Kevin. :)

We have lots of tall trees here in Oregon. They're probably what insired this sketch. Deer & Elk can seem to appear out of no where sometimes, making for interesting morning walks. :)
