Greetings!  

"For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations, deep breaths, deep sleep, and the communion of the stars."

-Mary Austin The Land of Little Rain

Summer showed up this year in the high desert with a friend. It brought early monsoon rains formed in the High Sierra backcountry. The daily afternoon cloud formations, grey winds, and eventual down pour has been a pleasure to experience. The parched earth of the Eastern Sierra region had a brief, cooling, drink.

I am looking forward to summer travels. If you're in Reno for the Coeur d'Alene Art Auction, look for me and say hello. It is always fun looking at all the great art.

Thanks again for your interest in my art.
