Red Door, Black Door – Watercolor – 21 x 29 inches.

Every morning, the Queen of North Beach walks her panther. In San Francisco it is illegal to walk your pet without a leash. (You have to look closely to see that the panther’s leash is only a ribbon that the Queen chose to match the color of her dress and parasol.)

She told me that one morning a policeman stopped her to warn her that a ribbon was not a real leash.

“It was just an excuse,” she said, “to ask me for my phone number.”

“Did you give it to him?”

“I gave him a smile.”

Fields and Corvids – Mixed media – 18 x 24 inchesDecember. Long frigid nights, little sunlight during daytime. Snow and ice until April. Cornfield stubble on the left, a row of box houses on the right. Two ravens soar in the middle.

I drew this field years ago and can’t see it again because it is buried under condos, strip malls and parking lots. On the other hand, the ravens’ grandchildren flourish. Some even moved to California.

Western Landscape – Pastel/paper – 18 x 24 inches.Mother Earth, our beautiful home seen from the window of an airplane, a beautiful human invention.
Normally I don’t use pastels, but this image of Light, Earth, Air and Water seemed to call for it.
