Four years ago, I had the idea of creating a story using pictures/artwork I took/created. For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 12 here is the next 'page'

A Tail of Return – See ALT for Page 2 The Lingering Question

#visualstorytelling #ayearforart #storytelling

A Tale of Return - The Lingering Question - Page 2

A tired man wearing a traveling coat and walking cane stood outside the door. The medallion he wore designated him a traveler. A seeker walking the Kámino to find an answer for a lingering question. “Mana blessings, my name is Quédam, may I rest my weary feet?” he asked. Welcoming in a weary Seeker for a spot of rest and some nourishment was tradition and kindness in these lands. "Of course, please come in take a seat," Skye invited him in to sit by the fire and join her for tea and sandwiches.

--Visual is a photograph of a Black and White photograph of a man wearing a dark traveling coat and cane standing on a curved path with fallen leaves upon it. He is in a forest with many trees that create a canopy above blocking out the sky. We cannot see his face because his back is to us and where his head should be is a giant question mark. ---Traveling life's pathways, we are always plagued by that lingering question. Did we make the right decision?

Four years ago, I had the idea of creating a compact short story using pictures/artwork I took/created. For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 18 here is the next 'page'

A Tail of Return – See ALT for Page 3 Impresso Expresso

A Tale of Return - Impresso Expresso - Page 3

Skye placed the cups with wind swirl patterns on the table and poured the tea, “I rarely get faraway visitors. What brings you to travel on this Kámino pathway?” Quédam quietly observed the pattern imprinted on the cups thinking of the double meaning. They could be symbols pertaining to the Maidens of the Wind or it could also be a reference to the Wind Paths guiding life through change and fate. Taking a sip of tea, he replied, “I am looking for what I lost long ago. I have traveled many of the interconnected Realms climbing up the Stairway to the Heavens above to arrive here in the Skylands. I don’t know much about this village of Magic. I take it you have lived here all your life. Can you tell me more about it?”

--Visual is a photograph of close up of two cups on saucers sitting side by side next to each other. There is a swirl pattern on the cups with what looks like simple decorative triangle shapes like mountains between the swirl pattern. The triangle shapes are repeated on the saucers. The white tablecloth the cups and saucers rest on has circular swirl patterns on it complimenting the cups.

Happy New Year!! Just a few of my favorite works from 2025

Flat illustration of a Gray Catbird amongst wild strawberries with a small strawberry in their beak.

Flat illustration of a Wood Pigeon, Magpie, and Robin in a parade-line stride holding autumn leaves up high with their beaks! (UK birds as I am there right now on vacation!)

Flat, wooden nesting owls (large to small) Great Gray, Great Horned, Long-eared, Screech, and Saw-whet.

Flat illustration of an American Bittern at nighttime. They are broken up through reeds in a surreal manner.

I delivered this painting to a happy Boston collector today. I’ve spent many, many nights sitting on our dock watching the moonlight dance across the water. This piece captures so much of what I love about Maine and its magical light and pristine beauty.

New blog post! Must-see art in Norway, including this amazing painting capturing the Blue Hour in Norway, by Harald Sohlberg, a Munch contemporary who painted mystical night and twilight scenes.

I am incredibly honored — and absolutely thrilled — to have my October Marsh painting chosen as the cover image for the Sept/Oct issue of Art New England! This painting is one of 21 new encaustic landscapes that will be in my York, ME solo show Finding Joy.

The hibiscus pistil has five red, "hairy" spots at its tip, which make up the stigma, where pollen is collected.

The Seagull Nebula’s head is both an emission and a reflection nebula. Its light is emitted by the gas ionized by newly formed stars, but some is also reflected off the stars outside the nebula.

For the new year or new beginnings a list of benedictions/well wishes is overlayed on a photo of a seashore with morning skies and seagulls flying overhead.

May the world present wonderful adventure at your feet as you step outside your door.
May you sail forward without regrets to anchor you down.
May you have good health in the year ahead.
May the love of Family & Friends comfort and protect you.
May you accomplish whatever goals you set your mind to.
May you voluntarily give and receive kindness in the year ahead.
May trouble never weigh your spirit down.
May the love & happy memories of lost loved ones & lost friends warm you as you carry them in your heart.
May you find the joy in little things every day.
May learning always be a joy & a path to discovery
May you have strength & courage to weather any storms in your path
My happiness & good cheer be your companions.

Morning Dew and Mushroom

A small mushroom rises from a bed of dew‑covered grass, standing upright like a tiny umbrella. The early sunlight is soft and warm, creating a gentle glow across the scene.
