Not much to say except that yesterday was so windy here in Los Angeles, probably the windiest day of the year. All of my plants fell down like struck bowling pins on my front porch. Tonight I am in my studio, at work on a new commission for a church that is turning out very well. I worked all yesterday afternoon on it and an hour tonight. I am deluged with all kinds of work and could keep busy all the time but this weather is so wonderful it's hardly suitable for shutting myself in the studio all day. After a couple of hours in the sunshine at the beach it takes a terrific amount of willpower to pull myself away and go back indoors. I think I'll start taking my portable easel out when it's not so windy.

Homemade crunch noodles.

These were delicious. They melt in your mouth!

Small study in oil of a Rembrandt portrait, purchased from the studio by a local architect.

I am very fascinated by this gargoyle and by these types of ancient gargoyles found in and around Europe.

These are some of my drinking potions, for whatever ails ya! I don't drink soda and I make my own fruit juice. Some of my favorite tea is made from straight cinnamon sticks boiled in water. So cleansing and delicious. Try it!

Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.

This is an ACEO I did for a $100.00 for a collector in Japan. He asked "Please make me aceo of Girl With Pearl Earring, not like Vermeer, but Christian Bach version." An aceo is a small painting that measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches typically painted on card stock or bristol paper. He's collected 3 of these this year, the same painting, of course each one comes out slightly different, I wonder what he does with them? Maybe resells them?

I couldn't make up my mind, leather (faux), lace, or ribbons. So I wore them all! If you like these shoes you can find them here AMI CLUB WEAR they have many faux leather shoes and handbags at fantastic prices! Check them quick, they sell out fast.

I will be selling a few paintings to help in this effort. A 100 % of the profits will go to help the rescued animals at Animal Acres. This is a local organization were I volunteer and contribute and am concerned about. All the money contributed there goes directly for the animals, it is a 100 % volunteer effort of love. Every little and big bit helps. Thank you.

I just recently discovered these purple carrots, Freaky! Some friends brought over a half gallon of purple carrot juice and it was so tasty, much better than orange carrot juice, now I'm hooked. But these carrots are hard to find. I buy them at Whole Foods in Pasadena. I remember the first time I saw broc-o-flower in the market, that's pretty scary! Soilent green is people! What a screwy world we live in! I just saw a movie called "Penelope" about a girl with a pig snout instead of a nose, everybody screamed and ran away from her, then at the end she got a regular normal nose, I liked her better with the snout, she was cute that way, adorable! Oh well, there's no accounting for taste. Have you heard all the hub-bub about the planet flipping it's polarity? Has to do with the old wobble effect, that's what I call it anyway, you know how the Earth and Moon do that weird wobble thing? I like that it's slated for the exact time the Mayan calendar runs out, 21 December 2012, pretty cool! I usually try to read between the lines, sometimes it's what they're "not" saying that's more relevant, I noticed the scientists are arguing about all the effects that it will have instead of if it's going to happen or not, so I guess that means it's going to happen, cool! Gives me something to look forward too, just when I thought I'd seen everything!

And I remember about the ninth day into my solitude the tree outside my bedroom window beckoned me to paint it. The tree had become my one companion during my sickness. The first thing I saw when I woke up and the last thing I saw before I fell asleep. I'd wake up in the morning and go like this, "Good morning tree!" I'd throw off my blankets and walk to the window, open it and listen to the hundreds of sparrows singing in it's branches as it swayed in the wind.
