The temperatures drop in the evening in the 3500' elevation of Oro Valley, North East of Tucson.

The tallest peaks are over 10,000' elevation and have traces of snow, in the valley below are three fabulous championship golf courses and several beautiful subdivisions where deer roam freely. A stunning oasis in the high desert. I had my very first golf … [Read More...]

Breakfast at the Westward Look Resort in Tucson. What a change from -22 degrees in Alaska. Yesterday we spent the morning with our old friends at Arizona Lithographers, we've been doing business with them for more than 20 years. It was so much fun to reminisce with the owner, John Davis, and put a face to the voice of Gail Ballwebber. These folks run a first class art printing operation, one of the finest in the United States. Gail Niebrugge, Alaska artist … [Read More...]

Dusk arrives at 4:30PM, we are gaining more daylight every day. Yesterday at sunset a cow moose and her two calves strolled through the yard browsing on willows and alders, the cow found my treasured China Rose bushes and managed to prune them into little stubs. After feasting in my garden they moved into the woods and bedded down in a snow bank. Do you think they'll be back? Gail Niebrugge, Alaska artist … [Read More...]

After three days of shredding files my shredder bit the dust, it will only run in reverse spitting wads of confetti sized paper out the top. One of the pitfalls of a home office is that unless we fix broken stuff ourselves, no one else will. The remote phones are not holding a charge, so I might as well purchase batteries for them while I'm out. The smoke alarm at the top of the stairs starts beeping about 5 hours after a battery replacement, don't know what to do about this other than … [Read More...]

Wikipedia defines pointillism as; "a style of painting in which small distinct points of primary colors create the impression of a wide selection of secondary and intermediate colors." It goes on to say that the mind and the eye mix the color spots into a full range of tones and that it is closely related to Divisionism. Divisionism was practiced by Georges Seurat during the Neo-Impressionism period. He broke his color into basic elements and painted very small and regular dots. His dots are carefully placed as to not touch each other, so the white under painted canvas shows around all of the dots. I call my painting technique pointillism, but technically it is incorrect according to Wikipedia. The difference between my technique and true pointillism is that I use … [Read More...]
