Gopher Snake

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

This photograph that I took of a gopher snake brings to my mind some American Indian beadwork that I’ve seen. But, of course, there are so many amazing patterns and designs in nature that it is truly overwelming!

Bugs!

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Recently, I’ve been looking at some possibilities of painting a variety of local insects. I’ve always liked insects: as a boy I was an avid collector.
Spiders are great too, but they seem harder to draw for some reason. I’ll try to do some tomorrow.
