Greetings from Wilmington, NC! A hot and muggy, beautiful city by the sea. I’ve added a page for photos for those interested in week to week baby progress. More later. It is good to be off the movie. More sleep, please.

Welcome
This site is a work in progress, a place to post my work and reflections and, on the Storybook Collaborative page, to post the work of others using the images collaboratively.
Although much of my painting could be called narrative, I don't always take the time to find the stories. So it is a pleasure to see them used as writing prompts, and to link to the stories, poetry and myths others find in the paintings.
The PAGES column below contains links to my writing, to the Collaborative Storybook and a sampling of Favorites, to my Artist Website, and to my New Mexico Storyboards blog.
I am not presently posting weekly image prompts. I am returning to this blog after a long hiatus and I am enjoying just watching it evolve.
As always, all are welcome here, and any who wish to do so may use the images in their own non-commercial work. Just please give credit and link back so others can visit and see what you do.
I'll be delighted if you leave a comment and come back for more. If you'd like to stay up to date, you can subscribe to my RSS feed by clicking on the orange icon below.

got to love googleyreader…….well if Ada grows up half as cute as Broadus what a heartbreaker she’ll be. That’s a funny photo, just how I imagine you all, on your porches, shucking corn *grin*. Glad you’ve time to breathe and reconnect, say hi to all of your guys from me, I’m off to look at photies.
Fish are jumpin’, an’ the cotton is high….
I’ve passed on an award to you… Arte y Pico
Terrific hat, Rick, kind of Van Goghish, or perhaps a bit corn poneish, with a dash of Andy Griffith. Do you take Broadus fishing down at the nearby fishing hole, while someone off camera whistles a happy tune? Seriously though, your photo is wonderful, and it is great that you have become comfortable with sharing your likeness and family moments with we of the cyber distance, we of the huge imaginations. You ground us and complete us–which many of us dearly need. Are you already at your parents slogging furniture and helping out? When will Naomi jump in and do some communicating and chortoling?

Baby sez: Get that camera away from me!
Daddy sez: Moar sliiiip plez?
Lovely Rick…
Doesn’t anyone recognize a shade hat when they see one? Glad you’re getting some rest.
Good to see you getting some time off, Rick, and cheers to the lovely family!
awwwwwwwwee.. y’all look so sweet so happy….
I just had to chuckle at Marlow’s description of the hat. I see a very relaxed and content you.
