a benign, commonplace sight in a 

studio, a cup of tea, supplies, right?

these were on my desk as i painted today's 

tea bag.  well, you can guess what came next.

i dunked the brush right into the tea.  how 

many times has that happened to me (and you)?

sharing some photos of 

death valley taken by my brother recently.

if you have never been, make it a destination.

the landscape is as different as being on the moon.
