Just back home from Joshua Tree National Park and I gotta say, I HAVE to paint this place.

While I have up a head of steam to start now, I know that it will be greener in a couple of weeks and I'm real torn between the desert in winter and the desert in spring. Ya gotta love spring! So maybe I'll wait... and maybe not. Yikes! What's a girl to do?!

Meanwhile, Here's a video I made there. Please watch all the way to the end because Mr. Coyote makes an appearance.

OK, so I have this wave obsession thing going on, and it's real serious! I go look at the waves when I'm up and when I'm down and it evens me out. But I'm not alone there because at sunset about half the local population is down at the beach doing the same thing.

I have a vision in my mind's eye of how waves should look in paint. Not that frozen in time all too perfect style. No that's not it. And not that slap the paint on to catch the movement. No, that's not right for me either. For me those waves are doing something more fluid yet precise... hard to explain. Meanwhile, while I try to put it in words, here's a video I made at Windansea Beach near where I live.
