As you see, there was much merriment. I haven't seen Loki get quite so excited. Sky immediately began playing fetch with hers, then took it over to the easy chair for some quality playtime.

Peace Tree with Monarch Butterflies pendant, from my original painting:
The rising sun illuminates Monarch butterflies and blossoming tree branches, covered in cherry blossoms. The tree branches have arc'd to form a peace sign in the lime green sky. Some of the petals are dancing in the sunrise. This hope-filled piece, part of the Zen Mandala modern art series (botanical visionary landscapes in a contemporary Asian style), is offered as a fine art pendant, hand crafted from one of my paintings.
An adjustable knotted cord is included so the piece is ready to wear and will fit most sizes (these are adjusted by sliding the knots and don't have a metal clasp). As they go over the head, these tend to hang long, although you can sometimes double them up once they're on. If you would prefer a cord of a particular length with a clasp instead, let me know at the time of the sale (no additional charge).

New painting, "Path by a Cypress Tree in May":
A path winds through magenta wildflowers, by a wind-swept cypress tree, on a bluff overlooking the ocean at Pacific Grove (near Carmel and Monterey). Seagulls fly through the white, fluffy clouds. This California seascape is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" sides are finished off in blue acrylic)--no need to frame. It has been lightly varnished to protect the paint and preserve the lustrous colors. The copyright watermark does not appear on the actual painting.
New pendant, Japanese Garden with a Siamese cat, turtles, koi pond, waterlilies:

Handmade from my original painting. Looks like it's been a couple years since I last made one of these.

New painting, "Green Buddha Meditation":
Clouds drifting...full moon shining on twisted pine trees. Shards of moonlight are reflected in the water, made rough by the waterfall flowing down the large boulders. Buddha sits on a rock, meditating. This Zen Buddhist Japanese landscape, from the Zen Mandala series (visionary landscapes in a contemporary Asian style), is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas.

Last week, we went "snow chasing". Snow is becoming more common here--every year, the winter seems colder. But, I've only ever seen snow close up a few times in my life, and only on the hills in the last 10 years or so.
We had a big snowfall (18 inches) late one day. The next day, we went up to the area in the morning, the snow melting even as we drove up. We stopped at the Diablo Foothills to walk around (that's Mount Diablo State Park in the distance with the snow). Unfortunately, we couldn't walk much because of the mud. This stuff was like concrete! You couldn't shake it off.
