At Happy Valley-Goose Bay, the river bed of the Churchill River is sand that’s been eroded and washed downstream and swirled around for centuries. The sandy bottom, of course, means that every summer, navigation on the river changes, because the sandbars have shifted and the current of the river has moved. Some of the sandbars are more or less permanently established, with trees and shrubs and seasonal populations of animals and birds, but even these islands are regularly eaten away by the force of the water. .

Dandelions have got to be the most hated and the most loved of plants. We revile them on our lawns, but when we see a field of these yellow blossoms stretching like a carpet of polka dots into the distance, we remark that it looks beautiful. When we were kids, we told time by blowing away the delicate seed parachutes of a dandelion clock. Some of us enjoy eating tender young dandelion greens cooked, or in a salad, and some of us make dandelion wine. On the other hand, some of us go to the garden supply store and buy weedkiller. I guess it’s all in how you look at dandelions! . Dandelion Stamens Oil on gessoed board, 5″ x 7″, signed and dated This painting is available for sale – $100.

6″ by 9″ daily oil painting, unframed Driving on Skyline Blvd heading south on Route 1 (the coast road) was by far my favorite road trip when I lived in Berkeley. There are so many spectacular views along the road. I frequently get excited with the idea of a new theme for a series of paintings although I don’t always follow through because I find another theme that excites me to replace it
