Lecture @ Copper Mountain College

My dear friend, artist and kindergarten pal, Jack Carr, better known as Jackadandy is giving a lecture at Copper Mountain College in Joshua Tree. She is using four of my photographs as a visual aid. Here is a brief synopsis of her lecture and the photos she is using. The title of the presentation is –…

New Paint for the new tile… at my neighbor’s house.

MagentaRaven helped assist in the colors and the painting for the new mosaic we did next door. The brown paint is called Galvanized by Ralph Lauren. It is remarkable and made everything look like mahogany. My client wanted espresso, I found Galvanized. 

Epiphytes

My neighbors here have beautiful epiphytes growing and blooming over the fence… lucky me… lucky us… Not only do they smell incredible and look incredible, they don’t photograph too poorly eiher. Thanks Sheridan!! for planting the beautiful garden. Curious about epiphytes? < click that.

This dragonfly was trying to get outside. He kept flying into the window, buzzing, but not getting results. I asked if I could photograph him on his way out. It was a good exit to freedom…first a few poses and then…fly… dragonfly…
