bird watching, watching me
Paul birdwatches from his home office. Two bird feeders and a bird bath are within view from Paul's windows. He has me to thank for the great variety of feathered friends visiting our yard.

finding the silence by creating dots
One way I meditate is by observing nature. I stare and focus on one element. During the fall, that may mean staring out the window, watching the leaves fall from trees and dance in the wind. Another way, while painting, I concentrate on the colors I mix together, how the watercolors bleed into one another or how my brush moves across the roughness of the paper. A deeper stillness comes over me when I am making dots. Yes, you read that correctly - making dots.
