Fleurs Series: ROSE SPIRALS
Walk with Me
Walk with Me
Take a bucolic Santa Monica walk with me…one of many. Enter though the archway.
Feast your eyes on the magnificent purples of the Jacaranda blooms, punctuated by white paper lanterns round as moons.
Purple butterflies and pink flamingos strut and flutter across this yard.
Buried deep in the foliage of fern and palm, this house hosts garden sculpture and pink blossoms.
Intricate painting on a front gate door is enhanced by picturesque peeling, showing the effect of wind and weather.
Further Jacaranda glories line the street. Tis the season.
Intense purples collide in colorific harmony…
Passing though? Or living here…don’t miss the delights of walking Santa Monica’s leafy avenues…hidden treasures and abject pleasures await those with patience, willingness, and an attentive eye.

Everything in the Garden: A Short Saga of Color and Light
Everything in the Garden: A Short Saga of Color and Light
Starting with a journey from the Inside Out…one extraordinarily light-filled early evening. Sunlight beckons.
Sunlight floods the garden, causing my camera to capture what just might be a mini-UFO, standing out rad against the green.
Catching the roses blushing against stucco. Compliments green and pink (“light red”) create old world charm.
Yellow windblown roses explode out of luxuriant green bushes. They seem to be reaching for something…moisture?
Red and white stripes hover shyly behind leaves.
A twist of tendrils around a solo pink blossom.
Pièce de résistance du jardin…perhaps its highlight….this perfect peach rose.
Fresh and cool, these beautiful whites light our way home like stars when the sun sets.
To the purple side of pink. These keep us in the Pink…and strike us pink at the same time.
Lines of moire…and shadow of palm fronds create optics on the wall…a trick of light, shadow, and the distance between things.
A natural mural composition. This arresting composition yearns to be painted.
