PHILOSOPHER STONES We see the surface of things, but there are always layers and layers below. I make philosopher stones to remind you of that. Besides, they are just kind of pretty.

Many shapes, colors and sizes: can be made into jewelry. Epoxy and alcohol inks.

A photographer from Tallahassee Magazine insisted on shooting my messy work area. (Unfinished on easel: "Jasmine" one of three Arabian horse paintings. )I told photographer no, it's messy, but he said no, it's real.

I ruined this by lifting it into a spinning ceiling fan. Almost threw it away, but I cut it down and made a metallic background instead. "Caramel Yearling" oil, acrylic, and alcohol inks.,16 X 20.

I watched this armadillo dinking around, followed by a curious cat, which the armadillo didn't notice.
