This lovely grapevine shape, revealed by my camera, was clinging to a neighbors fence in Minnesota. Using artistic license, I enhanced this vine and grapes with imagination and pigment. I loved how the purple, plum and maroon colors glowed within the grape cluster.

When jeeps cross paths, the driver with the fewest points initiates the wave, lifting a few fingers from the hand on the steering wheel. The driver in the other jeep returns the wave. It's a Jeep thing!

I was vacationing at beautiful Grace Bay in the Turks & Caicos where this bird was a frequent visitor on the beach. It would perch its webbed feet on a post of an old pier, fluff its feathers & tuck its bill just so.
My painting style is impressionist & I exaggerated the colors of this seabird. Red orange on the beak, yellow highlights on head feathers, purple shadows on the white neck. I added a yellow glow on the belly & tail to suggest sunlight reflecting off the turquoise water.
Cute & regal, it is no wonder this is the national bird for many Caribbean islands & the state bird of Louisiana.

Hollywood Sign Art Print from an Original Watercolor Painting. An American Landmark in Los Angeles California. The history of these huge letters reads like a movie script:
1923
"HOLLYWOODLAND" was 1st put on Mount Lee in the Hills of the Santa Monica Mountains to advertise a real estate development. Often on cinema, this temporary sign became an internationally recognized symbol & allowed to stay.
1940s
A care taker lost control of his car, he survived but the letter "H" toppled. The "H" was replaced & "Land" was removed.
1970s
Pranksters altered the letters to "HOLLYWEED" (marijuana laws).
The aging wood & sheet metal sign lost some of the first & third “O” & all of the “D”. An arsonist set fire to the bottom of the second “L”. The old sign was replaced with a new steel & concrete sign.
1980s
For Pope John Paul II visit, letters were changed to "HOLYWOOD".
The sign was brightly lit for the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
1990-2000s
To ring in the new millennium the sign hosted a light show & special effects.
This sign is a treasure to see for locals & visitors alike. The land around the sign was purchased with donations to preserve the iconic landmark view.

The secret to the longevity of the wood foundation is being submerged underwater. The constant flow of salt water petrified the wood & hardened it to a stone-like structure.
