One of the things I love most about Phipps is the architecture. There are so many different shapes and styles to see, from the ogee arch at the pinnacle of Phipps Palm Court, (google it), to this simple brick and wood arch. I must have walked through it a hundred times and never noticed it.

I love the lines and reflections in the glass windows, and the ferns peeping through on the bottom left. The photo has an art deco feel.

​Or perhaps a scene from a film noir, starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck, The lady wore orchid...


Just a few months from now, I will be releasing my first in a series of Haiku Storybooks!

Mr. Phipps And His Amazing Glass House, will make his appearance in the fall of 2019. 

The story is written, the poems are composed, and the illustrations are being illustrated! 

It's just a matter of time!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life...  John 3:16

​Is there any news better than that?
