Halloween decorations are up, but here's the real version for this season. A reminder of who got burned, and who's still here.

The witches have convened. The street is a pop-up coven, the signs, spellwork.

“Not Enough Sage” captures the moment when history’s witches return to take charge. Defiant, funny, and potent enough to clear a room of bad excuses. Open a window. The smoke alarm is going off again.

When I shot this I noticed how the glassy water mirrored the lue sky, forming bands of sand, sea and clouds.

"Let's save our beautiful Blue Marble" is a low tide view from Cape Cod.

Reflections and a narrow spit of shore guide the eye toward the horizon. I hope it nudges practical attention toward the ocean and the world we share, as if we're sitting inside a blue & white glass marble.

How's this for some fall color?

I'm hosting Janet Dyer's "Two White Trees in Harriman State Park." The bold reds and warm ochres lean into cool whites, while darker tones holds the composition steady.

The palette reads both sunwarmed and sudden with bright contrast. What do you notice first?

Bernadette Longo's "Footpath at Dawn" invites you into a pale, mist-lit clearing.

Janet Dyer’s "Path through Green" lays out stacked planes of lime against deeper leaf tones.

A pale winding path nudges the eye between trunks. Small flashes of cool pink near the left edge give the greens a lift.

This painting always just grabs me, as I hone in on the little house in the swirl of colors.

Notice the band of blue water holds the view while while the small pale house is nestled in the field of wheat.

I host this original by Janet Dyer, where textures in the grasses and along the shore guide the eye and keep the scale familiar. It's worth a closer look on our site.

It was a dark and stormy weekend, so I'm featuring "Rain over Dingle" by Janet Dyer: https://buff.ly/CyPsB0x

The wide, pale sky meets a low Irish landscape. A band of water takes on cooler tones while the darker, marshy foreground and a distant tree line give the scene weight.

Vertical streaks carry the rain across the view, creating a gentle tension between stillness and motion. Let it pause your day in a good way.

This is one of my favorite originals by Janet Dyer, "Colorful Field."

Layers of color suggest a shifting landscape; dark forms anchor the view while warm crimson notes keep the eye moving and a pale band reads like a small sunlit hinge.

The scene leans toward dusk without fixing the hour. Feels like fall, with a touch of the witching hour!

This is Janet Dyer's "Cherry Blossoms." The artist settles pale pink clusters against fresh green beneath a cool, open sky.

Pared-down shapes and small gestures that suggest a breeze and a gentle sense of depth. The low horizon and framing forms let the color do the work, a simple seasonal lift.

Janet Dyer’s "Winter on Route 202" sits in cool planes of blue and white that lead into a band of dark evergreens and small rooflines.

The low winter light flattens the scene just enough to feel composed and spare while carrying a subtle energy.

Pastel pink canopies lift above a vividly green field. Layered color and confident gestures suggest bloom and distance rather than literal detail.

Janet Dyer’s "Pink Tree in Green Meadow" is a compact burst of spring on our site.

A vivid pink canopy sits above layered bands of green and a calm blue sky, with pale gray trunks and a low dark shape that anchors the view.

When you go "Peering through the Wood" here you'll get Tim Boese's view of Alaska mountains and a lake through a marsh.

Trunks rise like markers, dividing shadow and light, while a small pool mirrors the sky and a bright ribbon of meadow before snow-rimmed peaks.

The palette leans into olive, ochre, and spring green, and the light brings a steady, restorative presence without fuss.

Glaciers are disappearing, but you can display Alaskan "Glacial Volume" by Tim Boese.

This glacier sits at the ocean’s edge. Pale blues and near-translucent whites layer along the face, and the dark, snow-streaked peaks set the scale.

Low clouds leave the mood unsettled and cinematic. I like how this piece balances geological time with fragile moments of movement.

In "Shaft of Sunlight in Cherry Blossoms" by Janet Dyer, pale pink blooms lift into a clear shaft of morning light, set against bands of green and a cool gray path.

Janet Dyer arranges lavender, green, and sunlit amber into bands that climb the hillside, the rows pulling the eye uphill.

Late spring arrives in bursts. One of those sudden bright moments explodes in Janet Dyer’s "Two White Trees in Green Grass."

For me, the scale can overwhelm at times. I remember the first time, in junior high. A friend’s dad had a small plane in Alaska (our home).

The instant the starter pistol fires, determination reads on every face and the background collapses into a streak of speed.

"Broken Trust" reveals small ironies: the stone cross carved with the name "Trust," but it has split and settled among autumn leaves in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

Endurance and decline, where cool stone meets warm late-season color and inscriptions soften into family stories.

The fallen slab turns a name into a solemn message that is a little wry.

A weathered sign reads "WELCOME TO BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN TALKEETNA." It's the town "Northern Exposure" was inspired by.

A stop sign and street markers rise behind it, a camper rolls past, storefronts line the block, and the sky keeps everything open.

The sun pulls out a lived-in, slightly quirky welcome that is honest. I hope it brings a little Talkeetna spirit to your day.

A neon-green placard reads "Tinkle Tinkle Little Czar, Putin put you where you are."

The hand-lettering nursery-rhyme cadence undercuts the punch—playful and pointed. The bright sign slices through the muted January event, turning a moment of protest into a timeless, witty statement.

The splash of color and sarcasm helps the message reads like satire and solidarity in the same breath.

Autumn light spills across headstones of the Washington Irving's famous Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

Cool grays balance with warm ochres, and a splash of deep red draws your eye toward a small classical pavilion softened by moss and branches.

I loved the leaves threading between markers, making little paths from near stones to the trees beyond.

A hand-lettered sign quoting a 1930s colonist and an American flag meet in one clear moment in Palmer, Alaska.

In this scene folks reach back to New Deal roots to argue that shared resources matter more than individual wealth. The flag adds a complicated counterpoint to the idea of freedom.

I share because we need to question what’s being handed to us and to start conversations that matter.
