Before Going Fishing: Moss Landing (2014)
I took this photo years ago just before we set out to go fishing.

Interactive Rorschach Test
It dawned on me today. My creative process over the past few days amounts to the equivalent of an interactive Rorshach Test. Yesterday, I started out by painting swirls of metallic and iridescent paints and after spending time with them, added to them. The end result was a coherent portrait of sensory input to a human […]
Fishing and Gardening
Periodic reality check From time to time, I need to pause and reflect about my posts to see that they are still related to my original mission: to blog about autism and related topics from a sibling’s point of view. When I first began my blog in 2013, I spent the first eleven months or so […]
To Scale
Joy cooked up the salmon I reeled in during my (almost) ill fated day of fishing. I felt really crummy the whole time in the boat because of the ocean swells, even though I took three dramamine tablets. But it was worth it. There is nothing like the taste of freshly caught salmon, especially the way Joy prepares […]
Blue Diamonds

Fat Fish
Right now, I’m probably out fishing. I prepare my posts the day before and schedule them to appear at midnight of the next day. So to get in the spirit, I thought I’d take my ‘point out for a walk’ to ‘make visible’ a photograph I took when I went fishing the last time. For […]
Still Life – Not Fruit
I went fishing today, at the beach. I always enjoy the drive over to Santa Cruz, although I didn’t enjoy the prospect of fishing in the misty rain that was falling as we left. I had planned to wear my shorts and wade into the surf anyway, but I was only willing to get that […]
Another Fish Story… I mean Study
Thoughts about abstraction Yesterday I painted a study of hands that were doing a specific job: taking a fish and preparing it to be eaten. I’ve been thinking of how I would go about abstracting the image of these working hands. Working from my image, I could try to convey some of the following ideas: preparing […]
