Laying low in the grass, looking up through the petals and sunlight,

I can only imagine thesebeautiful poppies gathering together to enjoy a favorite

"Spring Dance".

"Deep Thoughts, Shallow Waters" was created as a studio piece following a weekend at Byer's Lake.  It was part of Alaska State Park's inaugural art in the parks initiative.  It was an exciting event where more than 40 Alaskan artists gathered together in tents, campers or nearby hotel rooms for a weekend of sun, rain, campfires and of course great artistic comraderie.  Mt McKinley even showed up for the event!  This piece, however, came from a quiet morning before most campers were up, I was out sipping coffee on the dock.  

I hope it brings to you a peaceful feeling of reflecting on the good things in life as it did me.   

Just up the road from home lies Hatcher Pass.  

In Alaska, it's a wonderful place all seasons.  

One of the many trails readily available to a vigorous or leisurely hike is the Gold Mint Trail.  

It was a place that I visited with dear friends last summer.  Photos, laughter, warm summer temps and

abundant beauty summed up the day.

Having fun with shoes and wine doesn't always mean 

drinking and dancing!

 

After all, sushi is good too.
