Went to the Botanical Gardens to see how it faired in the fire and was amazed at charred palms coming back and a gorgeous meadow full of flowers surrounded by burned and charred mountains. The California Quail was waiting for us !! Upon consulting the Peterson Western Birds Guide I found that Gambel’s Quail and California Quail are almost identical… except the California has a brown splotch on it’s belly where as the Gambel’s splotch is black…

New photographs today. The raven is from last week in Neveda. The Sphinx Moth is from this morning. I saw the moth in a spider web, but it was not moving. Assuming he had been in this still position for some time (dead) I got my camera, at which time he moved and of course I had to release this living being into the wild … flying off with one antenna … As for the raven. it will be turned into a rubber stamp.
Saturday Dec. 20th from 12 til 5.
Hot cocoa and marshmallows too.
New works are gicleé photographs printed on canvas. Printed by the infamous David Fick in Joshua Tree. Some of the works were manipulated before printing and all were lavished with acrylics and pastels. This is a real departure and fusion evolving and merging mediums. These images were first captured on the Wilcox property on the cliffs above the ocean or at Hendry’s Beach in Santa Barbara, or Arroyo Burro depending on when you got here.
Found in the parking lot of Urgent Care, where I took my husband this morning, diagnosis, tendinitis, rotator cuff… not fun. Ten Lined June Beetle available on 12×12 archival paper printed with archival inks. Purchase
The show goes up first Thursday at Santa Barbara Arts. This woodpecker will be there if it doesn’t sell first. It is a gicleé on canvas, photograph of a woodpecker from the Wilcox property, above the ocean. Then, I retouched it with acrylics and pastels. This is a 30×30 canvas, unframed, unstretched for sale as is. To purchase.
This is an image of mine that never went to press. I have printed it as a 30×30 canvas and also on archival 12×12 matte photo paper. I just ordered some of these postcards myself thru zazzle. I was very impressed with the quality and feel of the cards.

Homosexuality Common in the Wild, Scientists Say
Monday, May 19, 2008
By Clara Moskowitz
As gay couples celebrate their newfound right to marry in California and opposition groups rally to fight the ruling, many struggle with this question: Is homosexuality natural?
On this issue, Nature has spoken: Same-sex lovin’ is common in hundreds of species, scientists say.
Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York’s Central Park Zoo, were a couple for about six years, during which they nurtured a fertilized egg together (given to them by a zookeeper) and raised the young chick that hatched.
According to University of Oslo zoologist Petter Böckman, about 1,500 animal species are known to practice same-sex coupling, including bears, gorillas, flamingos, owls, salmon and many others.
If homosexuality is natural in the animal kingdom, then there is the question of why evolution hasn’t eliminated this trait from the gene pool, since it doesn’t lead to reproduction.
Creating a few exciting mosaics incorporating newly created handmade tiles fresh from the kiln. Preparing for two shows in southern California. The first show is on April 5th here in Santa Barbara at The Frameworks Caruso-Woods Contemporary Art Gallery for their annual Buddha Abides show. The second show is a solo exhibition at The 29 Palms Creative Center in 29 Palms, California at the base of Joshua Tree National Park. Here is a small indication of the works unfolding… oh, and did I mention my MOSAICS WORKSHOP in April ? and Thank you , Lynn (from Santa Barbara Arts) for your support and energy.
