I was riding around one day, looking for a new area to catch my eye ... and imagination. This horsepark was in an area of Sylmar, CA which been damaged by this summer's fires. Many of the old trees showed some burn marks but there was plenty of new growth ... and the colors ... !!

I processed this using Flypaper Textures: Caramel Soft & Raw Linen, plus my own new texture: Ankgor

This was shot at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. It was a cloudy day and although the clouds were reflected in the pool, most of them were hazy. I used only two of my new textures: Atlantis and Nile Basin

Carpe Diem

Sometimes you just have to wait until the timing is right. I found this dancer a couple of years ago, but I didn't know what to do with her. Several weeks ago, I created the face of the sundial. Then it was just a matter of getting the right elements together -- all of which were in my files. Since the dancer is hand-colored, the number of layers is deceptively large.

The news is full of hypocrites and fear mongers. Unemployment is down but money is tight. So I've been forced to join the millions without health insurance. I need a ray of light -- hope in the storm.

Today's solution: immerse myself in my art ... and tinker with my blog settings.
