The Husband and I needed to get passport photos taken in India on our last trip for some business documents. It cracked me up to be ushered back to this little room where suit jackets, ties, combs, a mirror, and hair powder were available to anyone who felt the need to spruce up for their photo.

Untitled 51

This is pastel on the finest grade grit UArt. I find it a very strange surface...a swipe of the pastel stick over it sometimes takes off a previous layer of pastel instead of lying on top of it, and sometimes it does lie on top of it. This seems to be especially true when using Townsend pastels. Perhaps I should try the coarser grits, or is it something to do with UArt itself, or the Townsends?

From a couple of weeks ago, when we (and especially Rumi) were enjoying a lot of sun... It's done nothing but hail, sleet, rain, and snow--yes, it snowed a lot last night, for example, in spite of being almost May--for a while now. Bring back the sun!

Sometimes the iPhone can take some great pics... Since starting the sky series, I've become a real cloud-watcher.

Sky study 20

As SamArtDog, my neighbor, said, there really is something very cool about fitting a whole sky into a little tiny strip of paper. This is 6.5" x 1.75".

Lynx would like you all to see what a big beautiful boy he's becoming.

Boulder is known for its rapidly-changing and extreme weather, especially in spring and fall, when it can literally drop forty degrees in an hour.

I was wearing sandals and short sleeves when I left the house...and when I arrived at the grocery store, it had done this (hail? giant sleet? not sure what to call it):
