Shopping is hard.

Change is good.

I’m surrounded by large prints of my snaps on the walls here so that when I wrote about an easy, quick-release attachment method for mounted prints a while back it was very much with the intention of occasionally rotating my work.

A recent night outing in Carmel produced some attractive wall images so I set to printing these 18″ x 24″, whipped off the old wall prints, heat mounted the new ones on top of the old, and hey presto!

The center image has not been published here before, so here it is in all its splendor. The others can be seen in the link at the opening of this journal entry.

My question to you is, if you are not surrounded by your own work on the walls, how do you improve? Display at home has one cardinal virtue – daily critique from the artist, and from anyone else passing by.

Mmmm…

The Ghirardelli Chocolate store in Ghirardelli Square, SF has moved next door to much larger premises and it’s one of my son’s favorite things. He always orders the ice cream sundae, as did these two lovely women seated next to us outdoors, by the fire grate.

A spot of luck.

This couple took quite a while to pray over their food before tucking in, eyes shut tight (during the praying bit, not while tucking in). I sort of idly watched the scene thinking it rather blah as an image when the third diner magically popped up. Bingo!
