At some point, I knew I would publish. The house is filled with art that I wish I had walls enough to put up and display. Naturally this first project does nothing to remedy that. It does put to use some of my digital odes to the little Europa.

The first public offering of my art turns out to be a calendar. It’ll always be a rare treat. Rare, because I expect a low number to be created, and a treat because it’s very nice. To date, 36 have been printed and I don’t expect the number to go much higher. My thanks to all who made the investment! It’s my commercial start.

Meanwhile, I’m planning other calendars. First, I’m using old inventory – sketches on hand, including this mixture of the night scenes I sketched in pencil from a VW Squareback in the mid Eighties. The remainder came later from other inspiration. The live sketches were in the Vancouver Washington area. I was drawn to the subject starting just after school when I noticed the beauty of night and started trying to figure out how to depict what I saw in the patterns of nocturnal colors. As I prepare and sort through the images I’m open to your thoughts on the subject that strengthen the final product which is a 2017 wall calendar with 11 1/4″ wide images.
