10″ x 8″ pastel on sanded paper

Beautiful thunder clouds across West Texas. I captured them from my shotgun studio.

Time is a funny thing. People have a way of discounting big blocks of time as unavailable. Much of my art is made in these blocks. I take full advantage of waiting time: waiting for appointments, planes, soccer teams to warm up before the game, and ballet classes to finish. Travel time is also a great time to create art, if you have a wonderful spouse (like I do) who not only prefers to drive, but also operates a motor coach as if it were on rails.

After the fires last week, I was so happy to drive through these clouds.
