California Art Studio, November 2011
These are some views of work in progress in my California Art Studio. The first and last views are my work table where I do smaller study works; the middle two views are the wall that I use for larger works. These images give you an idea about the materials, etc. that I use in my work.
Desert Vista outside Desert Center, California
Here's a shot out of my vehicle window driving along Desert Center Rice Road during the storm yesterday, 11-04-2011. Quite a haboob in Phoenix, didn't get a picture of it since my view was mostly through a brown mist, but I am still coughing up remnants of it this morning.

9-11 remembrance - Elijah Grubbs Drawing
This is a picture my son, Elijah, drew on the evening of 9/11/2001. He was 5 years old at the time.
While we were watching the events unfold on TV, I asked him to take a break and go to his room for a while, and he drew this image.
I'm always amazed at the way children view the world - that he pieced all of the events together in a prescient moment; in part because that is the way he perceived it from viewing the unfolding events through the media, but another perspective is that by placing the planes apart from the buildings that it is an act of intellectual resistance - that it might be possible that either the event doesn't actually occur or that it could somehow be prevented.
The image depicts a frozen moment in time before the world changed.
