Photo of a polar bear, sitting in a splooting position, leaning on their elbows and looking straight at the camera, big paws and claws resting on the snow. Golden light hits them from the right side.
A collage made from old National Geographic magazines. A man, dressed in a white robe and turban, sits on a plain rug in the left foreground of a desert landscape. He faces a spectacle of elements, rising up and pouring down before him: a giant pair of hands reaching down from the sky, cupped and spilling quicksilver onto a tower and a spiral staircase that pours a waterfall onto the sand. A see-through, anatomical model of a female body stands in front of the tower, the waterfall crashing at her feet, with her hands out, palms up, at her sides. A large, white daisy is nestled in her crotch. Above the tower, on the left side, is a 24-hour clock face, with Roman numerals, an inner dial of more numerals. A giant bat is flying toward you from over the clock, wings spanning half of the picture. In the sky, above the cupped hands is a massive, golden planet, a pocked half-circle, and to the right, a plume of orange fire explodes. The piece is titled “Desert Vision”.
A rock painting work-in-progress. A very rough sketch of a cuddle-puddle of capybaras.
A rock painting, held in the palm of my hand, of three Polar Bears, a mama and two cubs, rolling around in the snow.
A rock painting of four baby birds in a nest, with one blue Robin’s egg amid the gaping red and yellow mouths. The rock is held in the palm of my left hand.
A rock painting of three capybaras, all in a row, with their heads right next to each other, against a light blue background. The rock is held between my thumb and forefinger. I sent this to my sister for her birthday.
A golden crown with a red forbidden sign over it.
A rock painting, held between my thumb and forefinger, of a pile of four donuts, pink frosted with multi-colored sprinkles. Yum.

A realistic drawing in colored pencils of the back of an old craftsman-style house, viewed through the grid of a rusty wire and pipe fence, and a lattice of cobwebs inside one of the wire rectangles.
A drawing in colored pencils of a calico cat, carrying a squirrel in her jaws by its neck.
A rock painting of a pair of owls with their heads together, peering at you with round, green eyes.
A surreal collage made from old National Geographic magazines. An old woman sits in the center, wearing a red shirt with white polka-dots, holding one corner of a vast quilt of uneven shapes of fabric, of many different patterns, as though it were made of scraps that were collected through the years. The quilt is spread out before her, at least twice her own height. Behind her is a landscape of gentle hills, blue and green and hazy with moisture. A rainbow makes an arc down from the upper left corner, down to the old woman’s right side, terminating in the quilt. Two tall sunflowers rise up from one section of the quilt, from the center of a galaxy. The sunflower blooms are huge, and way up above the woman’s head, under the top of the arc of the rainbow. In the foreground, below the galaxy, a young family, (man, woman, and baby), reclines on a blanket, spread out over a meadow of red flowers that the quilt flows into seamlessly. The piece is titled, “Quilt”
A painting of three white lab puppies cuddled together, on a river rock.
Oil painting of a mandala, made f overlapping circles and triangles, in yellow, orange and red, with the suggestion of a face in the center. The piece is titled, “Sun God”, by Heather Boyd, 1994.
A drawing of an orange cat with white-tipped ears and white paws, squeezed into a too-small cardboard box, seen from behind. The cat overflows the top of the box. Line drawing in black with solid colors on a white background.
Photo of a Chihuahua dog, sticking her tongue out at you.
A collage made from old National Geographic magazines. In the foreground stands a lighthouse, next to which is a cluster of grave stones. A giant moth is perched upside-down on the side left dish of the lighthouse beacon. A massive smoke plume rises up from the top of the lighthouse, and from the top of the smoke plume rises a white bird, its wings outstretched. The piece is titled “Friendly Fire”
