Guess who's having a birthday?!

Sweet Skye baby turns 8 today! 

I think a frisbee is in her near future.

We love that sweet pooch.

Put up the flag and fire up the BBQ

The holiday approaches and summer vacations are in full swing. Hiking up into the higher elevations under a canopy of pine trees that cool and calm the spirit is a great way to celebrate independence. Have a safe 4th of July!

New Stamp Collection in Production

Birds and the channel islands. New stamps are on the near horizon. They are off to the manufacturer and should be winging their way back to me before the summer is over!

It's April. How did it happen? Three months behind us and the horizon in front. There is a whole slew of projects burbling in the studio. New stamps are slowly eeking their way into existence on the sidelines of painting for a new show that opens in September ... which seems far away, but not considering the speed that 2013 is deserting us. I think it will be here before I realize that summer has come and gone.
