'Studio Props 2'
oil on canvas
10" x 8"
Maybe this is an odd choice but I was touched my partner's pick yesterday, a beautiful gravestone with a poignant story. That brings us to tomorrow which is Day 30. Had questions about sales, shows, thoughts. All the paintings are hanging in the studio. Maybe it's an excuse for a party.

' No Man's Land '
This was shot at Mima Mounds, south of Olympia WA.
It is a preserve of thousands of low, undulating mounds,
which have been noted in the historical record going
back to the early 19th Century. No one is sure exactly
how they were formed. There does seem to be
agreement that this area was once an inland sea left by
receding glaciers. One historical account describes seeing
these mounds over a distance of 20 miles.
In the spring with the wildflowers blooming everywhere,
the occupation of many birds and the shadow patterns
left by the sun - it is beautiful. However in the dead of
winter it is desolate, quiet, and haunting - as I found it
this day.
