Odds and Ends


The local newspaper, the Hi-Desert Star, has published an account of our residency, featuring each of us and what we plan to do while we're here.

I'm spending more time in the studio now, digitally editing my photos and creating draft compositions, preparing canvases and painting with soil. Some of the "planted" canvas has "bloomed" with mold and other soil/mineral markings, so they were harvested and are getting sterilized and prepared for painting as well.




Sunsets continue to be glorious; photographing them is like collecting beads. Maybe I'll figure a way to string them together while I'm here.

Two nights ago some of us artists gathered at Pappy and Harriet's Palace in Pioneertown, an historic town that started as a live-in Old West motion picture set, built in the 1940s. The tavern/bar held Monday's Open Mic, so we saw some great local and visiting musicians perform, including rizorkestra, a folk-roots-blues-band. Check them out at
