Orchard Reclaiming
Orchard Pruning and Wildlife Clearing in the White Mountain National Forest A group of volunteers clear around an old apple orchard planted by homesteaders in the White Mountains. There are many orchards that are being reclaimed for providing a food source for wildlife. Some of the trees are hundreds of years old. New Hamshire, with […]
Use Once Packaging
Plastics are everywhere and the dumps are growing Lately there seems to be a movement of less is more in the packaging world. But what if packages become more reusable, instead of recyclable. I love to make spinach pie and tend to buy a huge amount of spinach. In the past spinach was bagged in […]

The Art Critic
As a visual artist the critique is always looming out there, whether you ask for it or not. Any time a work of art is shown, you get a review. Even if it’s a silent review (which can be the worst review possible). Yes, some things are better left unsaid. I do art for the […]
Marsh View
I’d like to say, “some things never change” and for the past 60 years I can almost say that about the salt marsh. The marsh is where the earth breathes. A connection between the salt and the fresh. Opposites mixing, allowing life a chance at survival. In choosing art for the upcoming show at Studio6Central, […]
I took a picture with my mind
Mindful photography There are times I saw something so beautiful, so inspiring, that I somehow couldn’t find it in me to lift the camera to record it. I don’t know why this is. Maybe the wide-eyed look I had as a child trying to make sense of the world. These scenes are more than just […]

Take a photo with a smart phone, then email to get it into your systemf. I use a camera with larger megapixels to get a higher […]
Pear Illustration
It was a great pear year. Pears come out in abundance every other year, given the weather and pollinators. This year was magnificent. I’m fortunate to have a variety of fruit tree around the yard that supplies me with unlimited opportunities to create art from photographs. My intention is to offer these for sale in […]

Medallion Series Logos
This is a series I call illustrative logos. Back in the 70’s and 80’s and even 90s logos needed to be simple, for reproduction purposes. Simple, one color, logos were the standard for 4 color printing. Logos came in two versions, a PMS color, and a black and white. But let’s consider the use. Today, […]
I HEARD IT ON NPR
It seems all our thoughts are derived from the media, or at least directed by “them”. What occupies our minds? A constant news blitz, a ding on our smart phones, a radio station in the background. We start to align with the beliefs of those we listen to. Knowledge was once passed through the church, […]
