Things change, sigh...

Good news. The Boo went to the vet today, and his ailment was an inner ear thing, which is now pretty much cleared up. He is not cocking h...

There's good news, and there's bad news...

Happy to say the Boo is through throwing up. Sorry to say he is not eating, not even the chicken and rice I cooked up special, and is track...

HP never promised me a rose garden...

Very sad day in the little yellow house. Dear friend, who bravely battled ovarian cancer for 4 1/2 years, passed yesterday, peacefully in h...

Strange daze...

I am still getting used to this thyroid hormone. There are times I feel all sped up, a truly unusual sensation for the cowwoman, who is mos...

Sew and Sew...

Discipline has never been my strong suit. Sigh. So I packed away the pastels. They were just too tempting, resting as they were on the ki...

Days of My Life...

Funny thing has happened. Since I started taking the new hormone, I am not as hot and bothered any more, despite triple digit temps here on...

Don't you wish it was this easy?

Open your mouth, something good to eat just drops in? Ah, those days are over. Well, they really never were for me. My mother fed me cann...

Gratitude on a sullen Sunday...

Summer arrived with a vengeance today, two days early according to my calendar. The thermometer is in triple digits, about 30 degrees over ...

You win some, and then there's this...

Making one hell of a mess in this particular piece. Had to run to Berkeley for more choices of pigments. Oh, well. Putting it aside for a...

This perfect day...

Just got home from the gym, and looked at this painting, thinking it might be done. Putting it aside for now, and starting something differ...

I'm forever making messes...

Just when I had it all cleaned up, it happened again. If the level of the mess is indicative of the level of no-mind, well, this one is com...

Gee, I hope this is done.

I kept working on the bird and smearing the lower right of the painting, over and over again. I have now put it in the folder with the othe...

The dividends keep accumulating here...

Soooooo happy to be taking this nifty little thyroid hormone. I took the old bod to the gym today, filled with apprehension since I had not...

The final, final (I'm not adding another thing to it) version...

Holy cow, I am tired of this image. I like it, it was fun to do, and I spent forever making those ripples in the water. Really challenging...

Beautiful day in the neighborhood...

Spring has at last sprung. Mild and sunny, with nice cooling breeze, perfect weather for a walk, yet here I am, still in my ballet flats fr...

Well on its way now...

Yet, still not done. I have an environment to work from, so debating about the level of detail I need, or don't need. This version wil...

Beginning, again...

There is a mystical moment for me in every painting, when I see my efforts begin to coalesce like a new universe out of the nothingness of c...

Mother, child...

I suppose that Nature knows what She is doing, and mothers just naturally take care of young ones. Unless, of course, they are human mother...

Layers, and layers, and layers...

I never liked this work, just filed it on the bottom of the pile. Today, I made little folders out of the backs of a few paper pads, and so...

The best four letter word in the world...

SALE! Today was the last day of the spring sale at Riley Street, that mecca for artists, the art supply store. Gee, how could I resist 40%...

Home is the cowwoman, home from the netherworld of the peninsula...

Well, it rained yesterday. And I had this new white linen outfit, very loose and flowy, very springy, all picked out to wear to my daughter...

Remember when...

Twenty-two years ago, I quit smoking, hopefully for the last time. That means that I have now not smoked for as many years as I did. To co...
