Ever look down and notice the patterns on streets and sidewalks? Lately I've noticed a lot of cracks, lines and deteriorating paint.

Last year my husband and I dined at Evvia, a fabulous Greek restaurant in Palo Alto. The whole fish we had was delicious and the head of the fish was so scary that I took it home and photographed it. Finally got around to painting it and my artist friend liked it so much it is now hers.

Noe Valley Ministry Art Show Today

2009-11-07T15:52:00.000-08:00

Today was the reception for the Golden Gate Artists show entitled "Small Gems" with entertainment by Pawel Walerowski and his violinist friend, whose name I don't know. We had a good turnout for our 9th art show together. The music was beautiful.

The Spirit moved me

2009-11-06T15:28:00.000-08:00

It started as some random paint on canvas from which an emotion would emerge, and I could not shake the feeling of two emotions, perhaps joy and despair or maybe love and fear. As it evolved, it became celestial, inspired by a Biblical worldview and images from the Hubble telescope. The final piece may be viewed as the entire human history, an autobiography or even a moment in time. Whatever the time frame, Jesus lived, died and rose again to show us that we can choose be free of fear and despair and enter into love and joy with a hope for the future by following him.

Justin, my hero

2007-04-17T17:27:00.000-07:00

When I was a little girl, I loved to go visit my great grand father who lived on the next block. He was so interesting to me because he was so old and I loved to hear the stories he had to tell about what it was like when he was my age (like no indoor toilets!). He is my "hero" because he did a lot during his lifetime, starting with the DARING to move from the old homestead near Mansfield, Ohio, to the west coast. Surrounding the portrait are some of what he is remembered for, even if it is all in the family:
- moving west to be a professional photographer but then learning carpentry
- settling in southern California and becoming a designer and builder of homes and churches
- inventing and patenting the internal ventilation fan in 1925, designed to get the smoke out of the kitchen
- retiring from work at 85 and a few years later taking up oil painting, of which he probably did close to a hundred
- baking his own, very yummy cherry pies
- living to the end, at 96
