Jay Weill on the Ferry

While commuting to San Francisco on the ferry to practice new grandma skills in August, I continued to run into Jay Weill, a biking lawyer who apparently keeps banking hours (or is it grandparent hours?). Here he is with other working commuters. You can tell the workers from the tourists on the ferry. The tourists appear to be the only ones who look out the window at the gorgeous view.

Distorted Memories

More fun with scans from old 4x5 negatives to anise and other flowers from my garden

Worn Out Pig

This worn out ceramic pig is happy growing flowers on top of a colorful tile table in Santa Cruz. Pen & ink painting done for Illustration Friday's word "Worn"

Play unfolds a mathematics secret

By playing around, I finally figured out how to use onOne's PhotoFrame software. The secret of its use finally unfolded. I like this mathematics frame a lot so it put it around the Toucan I painted in a combination of Corel Painter and Photoshop.

This is a stretch for the word "unfold" for Illustrationfriday.com but was an enjoyable exercise nevertheless.

Orchid Craving Attention

Instead of cleaning the house, I noticed my orchid was craving attention. So I drew it with pen & ink and pencil. Done for Illustration Friday's word "Craving"
