Well he came down to earth and he laid in the tree I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me I heard him say in a voice so gruff "I wouldn't eat you 'cause you're so tough" It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me (one horn?)

 18 Holes in Columbia Falls, Montana next door to Glacier National Park. Perfect fall day! If you do your best always, over and over again, you will become a master of transformation. Practice makes the master. By doing your best you become a master. Everything you have ever learned, you learned through repetition. You learned to write, to drive, and even to walk by repetition. You are a master of speaking your language because you practiced. Action is what makes the difference.”
- Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements.  And enjoyable piece to paint, The Wanderer is metaphorical on many levels to the summer of 2021. Coming out of the Covid pandemic and then in a sense returning to it, fun travel retirement with mask and vaccination safety, expanding creative endeavors and beautiful personal growth… I connect with the water in this painting —fluid, elemental, seeking.. Tracing a path through life. Wanderlust. It is from my series ‘Meandering Waters’. The Wanderer" The Wanderer Acrylic, dry pigment, patina metallic leaf, labyrinth embedded in venetian plaster, resin glazed. Cradled birch substrate, 36” x 36” x 2 1/2”.    🚁🚁Helicopters! The fires in Montana have been wicked this summer. My amazing stepson Joe, who lives in Helena and is in the National Guard, has been stationed here in Billings for the next two weeks to help with the blazes. He is a helicopter tech, so of course we had to get the grandsons up to the airport to see the real helicopters! Joe is such a neat guy, he was more than willing to show the little guys the helicopters. My son Tanner, hubby and myself enjoyed the ‘field trip’ too. Interesting! Will and Tommy loved it🚁💙🚁thanks Joe! “It is how we choose what we do, and how we approach it, that will determine whether the sum of our days adds up to a formless blur, or to something resembling a work of art.”
