My favorite tree


The Ponderosa Pine is my favorite tree in Yosemite. Its bark (left) looks like jigsaw puzzles. It was named by Spanish explorers who thought it looked heavy and ponderous.

Reworking a canvas from 2012

This was a boring painting (stylized mountain scene from when I lived in Switzerland) that I knew I would change one day, but didn't quite know what to do.... A few days ago, I added the top layer of thick, dark blue lines. I like that it sort of feels like knotted mangrove trees. To me, the white things are cloud-like, but a friend said it looked like dolphins entangled roots or something.  I think it's done, but who knows. :)
