A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.

These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

Low-angle, wide shot of a tree trunk positioned vertically. The bark is reddish-brown, deeply textured with vertical grooves, and heavily populated with green moss. The composition emphasizes the tree's height and scale, creating a sense of upward momentum. Framing trees surround the main subject, with a diffused, white sky in the background.

Teacups. Tiny monsters. Enjoying a peaceful moment to themselves. Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh...

Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh... Set against a rosy colored wallpaper with pale blooms, a dainty china teacup decorated with swirling buds, sits quietly on a table top. Inside, a strange being reposes, with heavily lidded eyes. Atop its head are pink branches with teal colored leaves. It appears to be deeply pondering the universe as it slips into a blissful sleep.

The Storyteller
Imagine a world where the storyteller weaves a tale so grand, that all fall under its magic spell. Forest creatures, real and imagined, gather round with their children to hear the wondrous drama unfold.

Forest creatures, real and imagined, gather round with their children to hear the wondrous drama unfold. (100% human-made) human imagined, drawn and painted, no AI whatsoever. Pencil drawing with added washes of green and brown. A young person sits with her back against a tree in a flowering forest. In her lap sits a rabbit-like creature with it's babe, smiling and staring at our storyteller as she weaves her magic tale. Surrounding them, creatures and their offspring of all types listen with rapt attention. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Secret Corners: Hiding in Plain Sight
The Enchanted Forest. In the hidden corners of the world, sweet mysteries abound. NOTE: I created this piece quite a while ago, using a rubbing technique (a block of concrete) to get the texture of the tree bark. :-)

Secret Corners: Hiding in Plain Sight The Enchanted Forest. In the hidden corners of the world, sweet mysteries abound. NOTE: I created this piece quite a while ago, using a rubbing technique (a block of concrete) to get the texture of the tree bark. :-) Almost hidden within a pile of maple leaves and tucked into the roots of a tree, stands a solitary, spiky haired creature of unknown origin. Arms outstretched, with a slight scowl on its face, it appears to be thinking of something important - perhaps what it would like to eat for lunch. Far back, lurking behind a tree, a young girl is watching. Drawn in black, white and gray graphite/pencil. NOTE: This description is created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

into the garden - deep summertime
This is the first in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world
To visually express how total immersion into the deep greenness of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound
sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

Against a background of swirling greens and golds, silhouettes of abundant flowering plant life blooms. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

The Girl and the Bear
In the quiet forest, walks a gentle bear. Upon his sunny back a young girl sleeps.

The Girl and the Bear In the quiet forest, walks a gentle bear. Upon his sunny back a young girl sleeps. (100% human-made) human imagined, drawn and painted, no AI whatsoever. Early in the morning, at the edge of a forest of brown and purple, greens and gold, a smiling bear pads quietly across the grass. Caught in a sunbeam, a young girl in a flowered yellow dress is sleeping upon his back, her arms folded under her head. Plants, like ferns and budding flowers, line each side of the glade.
