empty candy wrappers

From My Desk

The cover photo is by Linda Willets. I chose the Sketchbook cover photo from LInda Willet’s Gallery. The plant in this photo is Jimpson weed. This photo caught my eye because it has depth and textures—it is an artistic palette of nature. I find Linda's Gallery stunning and creative. Her photos reminded me of artist Georgia O’Keefe’s paintings: Oriental Poppies, 1928; Oak Leaves, Pink and Gray, 1929; Skunk Cabbage; Georgia O’Keefe biography.
