November Full Moon

Ten thousand flowers in spring, 
the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,

this is the best season of your life.

Cold at night now but clear sunny days. Dampness and dew in the mornings. Daylight savings time has started so the afternoons close in earlier.  The vegetable garden foliage is drying up but lemons are starting to ripen. Succulents still flourishing. Lots of new bamboo in the last month.Trying to keep up with weeds and grass in the front garden. I'm going to plant tulips and iris today.


Flow in the studio.  Moving along from one collage to the next.  Working with limitations of size, color, black and white.  Letting it evolve, studying the details of line, materials, colors, and layering.

A feeling of lightness, of potential for change.  Unusual communications from people--past, distant and unknown.
