May 29, 2021 – My 1st New Painting Since Before Our Move : Barton Springs Greenbelt Poster Series, Part 4, Almost Done?
There’s only tiny subtle differences between the current version and the image on my previous post, and I thought I was done, satisfied that is – but I’m not.

May 28, 2021 – Beginning My 1st New Painting Since Before Our Move : Barton Springs Greenbelt Poster Series, Part 3
I’d hoped to fully finish my 1st work on about a month (due to our move) but there’s some finishing I want to do, plus, after 100 degree heat index most the day a storm’s blown through with straight line winds, hail, and (the good part) much cooler temps!

May 26, 2021 – Beginning My 1st New Painting Since Before Our Move (1 Month+) : Barton Springs Greenbelt Poster Series

May 25, 2021 – Delivering Art for the Reopening of The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas
Today Sheila and I took a selection of my prints and originals to the Old Bakery & Emporium. It was a warm welcoming reminder of what everyone involved with the Old Bakery, artists and personnel alike, have missed for over two years!

May 21, 2021 – First Tentative Dabs at Doing Art Again! (even if digital)
Week ago I uploaded my 1st image of the greenbelt near our new location in Austin (off one of my blog posts), and I’ll readily admit, I’ll think some of images since then are even more impressive – but – I really like a lot of things ’bout this pic (beyond the great memory of…

May 15, 2021 – Random (sorta) Pic of the Day, Bird Friends at Our Balcony
Granted, my real life observation of birds is relatively limited, I’ve never seen this before, one Cardinal feeding two! Wonderful really, so amazed at the joy of such a tiny slice of nature ❤️ To say it’s adorable seems nearly a cliche, but adorable it is!

May 14, 2021 – Random (sorta) Pic of the Day, First Bird to Visit Our New Balcony Brings a Friend
Adding on to yesterday’s pic of our 1st bird visitor to our new balcony at our new location is, I assume 😊, the same little bird, but with a friend, her red feathered boy cardinal I think! The expressions, I think, are priceless!

May 02, 2021 – Contemplation Sunday : Moving During COVID-19, Exploring New Surroundings, Family, Art
“Sunshine and higher temps broke out after nearly a week of slight to moderate rain and cloud cover…Like most things in life, the cooling off before the big heat of summer was a welcome relief, and the return of sunshine and ability to get around with slip-sliding was also. Variability, in some things, must be…

April 29, 2021 – Moving in Our 70’s in a Time of Covid, 1st Look at the Roads and Woods Nearby
Sheila and I took a short 1/2 hour walk yesterday morning exploring some of the streets nearby. Maybe since we’re so near the green belt, most the streets and area around us is rumply and hilly-ish, not nearly as flat as where we lived before.

Surprise Print Sale at the Old Bakery & Emporium Austin Texas 😊

About the Images in My Books, Part 2 – Narrative / Illustrative Photography and Art
From early on I included my own images in small books of poetry, creating verses to illustrate what I saw and felt in the scenes, often of nature but relating to people. Also relatively early, I matched images to my travel memoirs. One small book, “Love’s Travels – Vermont, Paris, Austin”, combines my images with…

Dateline Austin: Goodbye Fall, We Hardly Knew Ya, But It Was Still Nice :)
Dec 17, 2018 Fall colors, or just a plain old Autumn, never last long in Austin anyway, but the moments that appear are a welcome sight.
