Whether the Weather

Phil built a lovely bookcase for the lanai

Whether the weather is sunny or rainy, we are enjoying our new locale in Volcano on the Big Island. When there is a break in the weather, we can be outside continuing our terraforming landscape projects and when it's raining we can be in our lovely art studio being creative.

Speaking of rain, so far January seems to have broken records -- over 30 inches in 15 days, but of course the forest loves it as do some of the things we planted a few months ago.

Here's a few of our respective projects.

Phil has a new gallery up the coast in Honaka'a, a charming little village that has the look and feel of a few decades ago, nice boutiques, good restaurants, theatre, museums and historic sites.


Here's some of Phil's new pieces. He's thrilled to have found a new source for his wood -- right here in Volcano.

Lunel has finished her fourth personal journal which has been one the her main ways of dealing with PTSD, the medications she needs to take and how these impact her physically and emotionally.

However she's also moving out of the smaller, more personal journals to explore different styles of collage, but always falling back on her own artistic sensitivities. So, some are quirky, some more serious, and others simply pieces of experimentation.
