Small alteration to this image

Things change including the skyline in Richmond - see the new General Assembly Building represented here

Thinking of Taiwan today (sizeable earthquake yesterday)

A country with an exultant baseball team on its currency: :-)

here’s a closeup

Closing shop for the winter next week

Back in the spring! March 28

Plans for 2024

We are headed to Asia soon, back in March. This time perhaps its best to turn off my store(s) but when we are back I will be happy to fill orders and full of new images to create!

Ukiyo-e artists, Hokusai and Hiroshige

Travel posters of their day, Japan 1830’s

Sometimes time away from a project is just what is needed

I photographed this Beverly Street scene years ago. Drew this poster essentially in 2020? but it needed something I could not name or identify. Perhaps our recent visit to the Met and seeing a Stuart Davis helped this get to where it needed to be? A bit bolder with color, less literal, a bit sunnier, a bit funner?

We planted dozens of trees this year

with the drought it is yet to be seen how many make it though plenty of the natives (locust especially) look to be thriving.

This photo shows random autumn beauties, the fruits of dogwood, magnolia, pecan, persimmon and some sort of olive, the branch with the tiny blue gray berries

Thank you Alexandria

And all the folks who work so hard to make Art on the Avenue the blast that it is, year after year. And make it a wonderful community. As usual, I am ready to move there - maybe an apartment in nearby Crystal City?

Art on the Avenue

This fun street fair in Alexandria, VA is tomorrow! In fact we came back from South America for this so the weather better be nice! See you soon!

Back in the USA

Think we’ve still got the stars over the Andes twinkling on our eyes. The last few days of travel are catching up to me, will get back to everyone tomorrow or the next day? And wow Virginia is a beautiful place to come home to. We say that every time, I know, but wow lovely.

Travel time

Orders can be filled until July 9. After that date orders will be taken but may not be filled until late September. Have a great summer.

This view from Shenandoah River State Park, where we vacationed a few years ago, is hard to beat
