Driving along a back road, I saw this strong adobe wall with this grand entrance. The sky was exceptionally blue and the Purple Sage and Spanish Broom were in full bloom everywhere. So, I couldn’t resist adding those into the painting, reminding me of what a beautiful spring it was. This is an original acrylic painting on canvas.
Desert plant life has appealed to me for a long time. The different varieties of cactus, agave and yucca all have such interesting and unique shapes and are some of my favorites to paint. I found this agave near Old Town in Albuquerque. I recently sold 2 canvas prints of this image to a Redbubble mystery buyer – thank you!

San Ignacio Lagoon is one of the best places in the world to see Gray whales and their calves up close. During the calving season you can go out into the lagoon in a small boat (called a panga), and after a short wait, the whale mum and calf will come up to you. They (mainly the calf) love to rub themselves against the boats and also to be scratched! You really get a close up look into their eyes! Then, just when you start to feel at one with each them, they blow salt water in your face and all over your camera! But it’s worth it!!! / / You may also get to see some great breaching too. / / (San Ignacio Lagoon – Baja California) / / / >< / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

The Humpback whale is one of the most studied marine mammal and yet, we still know very little. One important trait of the Humpback whale is that each individual has a unique color pattern on the underside of its tail (more properly called a fluke), and which displays designs in varying tones of white, grey and black. This particular characteristic makes it possible for us to identify each different individual by simply taking a clear photo of the underside of its fluke. This way, we can, over many years’ time, know who is where and doing what with whom. This also permits us to count and estimate the number of individuals of a certain population. A little nosy aren’t we? Well, let us be nosy because the more we know and understand about these magnificent creatures, the more apt we are at protecting them and assuring their survival as a species.

Selfportrait, 2006 (to Oahu with love) Warning Sign, Coldplay “A warning sign, / I missed the good part then I realized, / I started looking and the bubble burst. / I started looking for excuses. Come on in, / I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in, / I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones, / That I started looking for a warning sign. When the truth is, / I miss you. / Yeah the truth is, / That I miss you so. A warning sign, / You came back to haunt me and I realized / you were an island and I passed you by, / You were an island to discover. Come on in, / I’ve gotta tell you what state I’m in, / I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones, / That I started looking for a warning sign. When the truth is, / I miss you. / Yeah the truth is, / That I miss you so. And I’m tired, / I should not have let you go. So I crawl back into your open arms. / Yes, I crawl back into your open arms. / And I crawl back into your open arms. / Yes, I crawl back into your open arms…”
