• The remnant of morning dew on the windshield , overlaid tears on the reflected sky and tree

• A small spot of light seeps under the curtain. Falling in the painting, it pulses like a heartbeat

• Happy to have a studio near the shuk again--forgot how beautiful produce is, and the juxtaposition of colors: the green of the artichoke, which emphasizes the green undertones of neighboring lemons; the way the oranges bring out the orange undertines in teh apples and pineapples; the different shades of yellow and red-orange in the tangerines and oranges.The way the clothes of the shoppers reflect the color of the fruit

•  The strange intimacy of catching someone's expression in the mirror when they don't know you are watching

• the beauty of the shadow of the flower, ekegant as an ink brush painting
