We lost three trees in last month's snow storm, this one missed me by inches.

My Red Bush,

How odd indeed! I had some thought forming about these images and the three days passed, and then checked the EXIF info and found they were exposed exactly three days apart to the second!

This Is Not A Painting

I retired from programming three months ago and immediately returned to painting. I never stopped photographing but painting and the entire concept of using paints and brushes and pencils to imagine and then conceive a creative construct disappeared from my life.

When I started as a young COBOL programmer we used punch cards for code, I would keep a stack in my shirt pocket and draw on the blank side, the world of imagination on one side and the rows of numbers on the other. A year or two and the abstract world of Art was supplanted by the invisible construct of COBOL code, applied poetry of the mainframe.

The image above is a photograph of my morning meditation, brushes paint and a canvas, I am down there blending and working an edge, I am focused on the point of a blue brush, licking a red spiral I drew yesterday, the world is at peace and I am at home.

Shalom.
