DREAM ON . . .

'DON'T BE AFRAID TO FOLLOW THAT DREAM'

6 x 6" Acrylic on canvas . . . with a lot of movement going on!

Maybe sometimes with a little trepidation, but don't let it get away.

I'm still out and about walking just about everyday with trusty camera in hand and I have been fortunate to get a few more nice shots that I thought I would share with you.  Some of you may have seen some of these before.  If so, I hope you enjoy them for a second time.

this photo is from behind the baptist church in ajo

One of my favorite photos taken over the last few weeks.  

This piece can be interpreted in so many ways.

The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.'

Self explanatory :)

I wonder how many people ate here and never noticed all the mis-matched fans?

Al Capone and his buddies must have been to town.

around the corner and down the street :)

How often do you get a burro, (looking at me!) a Raven and a flowering Saguaro all in one photo?  This looks to me like something from the old west.  And just to show you what it looks like in color:

Not nearly as much personality as in black and white

(in my humble opinion).  I love the black and white version,

ARE WE EVER ALONE . . .

Not very often!

'ALONE . . . BUT NOT'

(This little piece was bought by a couple who are traveling full time across the U.S.  They buy small pieces of art wherever they go and put them up all over their RV.  They are remembrances of where they have been on their travels.  They said even their cupboard doors are covered!  Honored to be part of those memories.)

 CLOUDS OF THE DAY . . .

Amazing to think that on any given day you can look up at the sky and see a whole new painting, free of charge with no hidden fees.  Videos too, as the clouds can change form and move around as you watch.  Bring out the popcorn and the wine.  Time for one of the most beautiful shows on earth.  

Once you have tasted the taste of sky, 

you will forever look up.

DON'T YOU KNOW YET?

IT IS YOUR LIGHT THAT LIGHTS THE WORLD.
