A photo of me painting at the North Shore of Lake Superior last month. Thank you my friend and fellow painter, Barbara McIlrath, for taking my photo unbeknownst to me. A small rock study I did of the shore, wet and dry rocks. And finally, a poem by my sister Mary. She has a beautiful new book of poetry out, published by Mid-List press. It's titled Hand Work.

Turner's Paintings

It's all about light,

how it glances off water,

gets caught up in mist,

careens around objects,

tumbles through clouds.

Yes, I know there are ships,

but they are only there

to give the light

reason.
