Ahhh, the joy of bubbles, instant rainbows and like fireworks beauty that pops and is a moment of pure color, and shape to bend to mind and heart. This was from a long ago summer vacation camp where we all had a blast. flic.kr/p/2gDPFV7

This quiet image was taken long ago in the courtyard of the Nelson Museum in Kansas City, Mo. before it was enclosed from natural light. Its a jewel of a museum equal to the best on the east and west coast. I accented the color by making this a watercolor on Photoshop.

Another from my archive taken long ago at the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Rather magical I think. Animals and children communicate in wonderful and mysterious ways that suprise and delight us.

This spells satisfaction and innocence combined to me. This is all you really need from Santa if your age three. This youngster is now a grown man. I wish Christmas was a simple as this for all of rest of us. I used a slight dry brush treatment on this for a painterly feeling. Happy Holidays everyone.

For some learning is scary but others take to it like fish to water! This little swimmer is now in college. It reminds me that life's pleasures come in all flavors, riding a bike, reading a book, looking at clouds or having a ball in the pool as a kid or a parent.
