New Growth

Been so busy working on a few projects inside the house that I haven’t been outdoors with my camera very much. This week despite allergies I ventured out to capture new growth. 

The red leaves on this tree will be green by summer’s end. My back fence wisteria always amazes me once a year with this burst of lavender blue. By October these young grapes will be edible. Can't wait to see what garden delights the rest of the year brings.

Pietari Posti

I’m a huge fan of Finnish illustrator and designer, Pietari Posti. The Barcelona based artist has an impressive list of clients that includes The New York Times, National Geographic, American Way and Wired. I love his simple approach and his use of strong contrasting colors. Be sure to check out his portfolio. His Barcelona sketchbook is amazing.

Shinichi Ogawa

I love the potential of a blank canvas.  That's why I love  these white spaces designed by Japanese architect, Shinichi Ogawa.  These rooms are blank canvases that unblock the creative mind to endless possibilities.
