I almost missed this.
While everyone watched the sunset over the beach in La Jolla, light in a quiet garden bent through textured glass—turning into flowing lines like water. A hidden red flower surfaced for seconds, then disappeared.

@united lost my bag. I called customer service since i had an important event & that was a main reason for the trip. I was on hold while I drove across the whole state of NJ. After 60 min of being on hold I hung up. I am going to think twice before booking united. Maybe @AlaskaAir is worth the extra $$

The Mermaid: My grandfather & his sailboat, captured sailing off the Atlantic. The sky heavy with memory, the sails steady in the wind. A moment adrift between time & tide. #sailingart #oceanpainting #nauticalart #sailing #sailboat #oceancity #maritimeart #acrylicpainting #pdx

Sunset Reflections at Low Tide
Acrylic on Wood - 16x20"
Palette knife strokes of fleeting color capture the moment as day collapses gently into night. The ebbing tide becomes a mirror, scattering molten orange and violet across its rippled surface... https://t.co/6XDZ6zbYvs

Unfolding in fiery layers, this red dahlia dances wildly, untamed and free. #Dahlia #FlowerPhotography #NaturePhotography #WildAndFree #FloralArt #PortlandOregon #pacificnorthwest #pacificnw #gardening #nature #art

The train snakes along the hill, wrapping around the cliffs like a toy set come to life. Against the vast river and sky, it feels almost miniature— how small we are in landscapes this grand. #ColumbiaRiver #NorthwestViews #RiverCliffs #LandscapeLovers #TravelPNW #PNWonderland

progress on my sunset painting. I figured out how to angle the clouds to add some depth

Light, frozen in motion—reflected on the glassy blues and greens of the McKenzie River, just below Koosah Falls. Glacial water rushes from the high Cascades, filling the air with a crisp breath of mountain freshness. Color, clarity, and cold beauty—held still, just for a second.
