Galaxy painting
This reminds me of a photo from the Hubble Telescope. Maybe all art is merely a mirror of nature, being the product of our organic brain and, in this case, gravity and the physics of fluids.
Daniel Smith w/c on 140# paper. They're the best paints for saturated hues.
Just for color

Lifting off

Cats keeping an eye on things
Two less trees
This is the pine being swung up, over the house, and down the other side--two pictures of the same tree.
Let me say that again: lifted *over* the three-story house in a fully vertical position--the tree is at least 60 feet tall.
Job beautifully done by the highly professional tree service guys who came with their 170-foot crane, a bucket truck, a chipper, a pickup and 2 more vehicles.
They worked magic in taking the big pine off the house, plus the smaller birch that was caught in the pine. The temperature was 10 degrees with a slight wind.
And the roofing man has come to estimate and schedule the fix for the hole in the roof. Yay for progress!

A Creation Story
Since I'm not posting images, I'll post a story.
In a discussion group of the creation myths of various cultures, we've been challenged to write our own creation story. And I realized I've never heard a "creation myth" from the scientific approach.
So, here's an attempt at a mythical style overview (keep in mind I'm no scientist) of the Big Bang.
Once upon a time there was a huge ball of energy
that grew and grew until it exploded.
Bits flew in all directions, in all dimensions.
They became seeds containing every possible
combination of energy particles.
Most of these seeds exist in the Vast Unknown
where there is no time, no form,
no definition of existence.
But in some dimensions, time formed as a way
to see the seeds grow--into bioforms, geoforms,
and thought forms, among others.
In one place with form and time,
colors, threads, and patterns slowly grew
into a tapestry of interconnected beings.
In that one weaving, ever so tiny in the
whole of the Universe, threads
cross and separate, begin and end,
to create stories of being and doing.
And unseen, unknown by those trapped in the tapestry,
energy still expands beyond it, throughout Infinity.

walls and plaster
Painting--the wall. Finally I'll be able to move stuff back after the pipe fix.
I've been doing more artistic painting and creating, but the scanner's machine has no monitor right now, so I invite you to imagine colorful postings!
