"The Blue Chair" is a meditation on water and industry. The photographic capture this is based on comes from a boatyard on a quiet Sunday afternoon. The only sounds were of a welding torch, and water lapping against the battered oil-stained dock. It was startling to see a chair, elegant in its classical forms, transported from its usual context into the floating space of the shipyard. It stood in perfect stillness in the midst of the rusting ships, ancient warehouses and the shadows of afternoon. The composition was subtractive rather than additive; nothing was added except the color and atmosphere provided by a painting that becomes the field for contemplation. First link in bio to the listing in Etsy, information below:

A Walk in Eden: Drought
Over the mountains the world is on fire but we can’t smell it yet. The winds with their unpredictable grace favor us now, and the city is held in suspension. The tourists flee heat and lightning and monsoon and come in droves. In the garden afternoon, summer airplanes’ chalk drone against flawless blue, distant hammers, and the rustling in the laurel a new sound, dry, purposeful, as the towhee steps carefully from one branch to the next, testing to see which ones are too dry and brittle and which will hold weight. Beneath the glossy green scrim of normalcy the leaves are falling, and fill buckets. The towhees have made their home in the laurel for twenty years, but I did not know I had learned the sound until it changed.

Suddenly there were people....work in progress details of Blue Bathers. This day, walking for miles along Shilshole Marina, sitting with the boats, the sand, the beat from the boom box, the volleyball net shaking as the ball flies and sand and dogs leap into the perfect sky.
