inspiration


Stepping out the door
i was met with the fragrance of
wild raspberries.
After yesterday's deluge
i was afraid they all
would have been washed away-
into the cottontail thickets
There's also something
in the smell of corn in husks
cooked over a wood fire
that marks this time of year.
With one small green frog
and a large brown
dragonfly for company
i ate summer rain
sweetened with
maple sunshine
and apologized for
humanity

thirty-five year new northern


















 48 x 96 in. oil






half the wood shed is full
i seldom leave it until
raspberry season
















it is strange connecting
the illusion of space
across such a void

































as of  aug. 18-13
as in the potential
to come in and out of existence
in any number of combinations
depending on a bounce and
then shifting between
the in betweens
might it not just be pulsing between
the dimensions that we see
and the dark one
with about 20%
in the transition
grey ?
















aug 22...as the sun set,  anticipating the moon through tree tops

cumulonimbus























dead reckoning
self portrait
gravity
fluid dynamics
marching clouds
beginning to spin

building a fire


summer coyotes 
with pups
singing
to the deer 
like mermaids
of selection
the blue jay 
carrying a phoebe 
from it's nest
as i arrived to 
chase it away
in the
interconnection

occasionally






















when did 
syndical 
and honest 
become 
synonymous
occasionally 
a painting looks
as good
as the wall
but never 
the floor

today a deer
just outside
the door
