New Tools for Artists!
This is an exciting time to be an artist. With smart phones and tablets, there's been an explosion of amazing, inexpensive tools to create art.

These apps simulate a full range of traditional media as well as not so traditional media, allowing you to draw or paint in oils, crayon, watercolor, ink, charcoal and so on.

It's an entirely new medium that doesn't have to obey the laws of physics, plus it's clean, portable and has a very handy undo feature.

Bottles Behind Bars:

"Drum 12"


There are so many good compositions in these "Bottles Behind Bars" situations, plus fabulous color, reflections and refractions, glow, distortions. So much to work with, so little time.

I'm enjoying this series so much, I may have to go find some more good bars!

Catch of the Day ... A small visitor, very green.

Look who's been visiting with me way up on the roof deck! She was very bright green, to better hide on the leaves. Wasn't working too well here, though. I also like the little green shape in the corner that echoes her shape. She kept a close eye on me, and swiveled her head to follow as I tried to get just the right angle. Her great big compound eyes had a translucent quality.

Populated Pot Garden
I've just had it with battling the tree roots. Our little front yard is surrounded by large, shallow rooted trees.  These roots make a beeline for my planting beds, since they are the only area around that get fed and watered regularly. It's adds a lot of resistance to enjoying the process and the garden.

Meanwhile, the flowers in the large containers on the new deck are so happy! No slugs, no squirrels, and NO TREE ROOTS!

So my new scheme is to sink planting pots into the ground. It was some work to install it, and produced a big pile of excess dirt. If you're trying to get rid of dirt, how do you do it?

So far, it's been working very well indeed. It didn't take very long to populate the new pots, and it's very easy to make changes,. and a lot easier on the back. When I want to change anything, I can just pull one pot out, and pop in another.
