I’ve been WAY behind on studio posts, so I’ll play a little catch up over the next few days. These are from early April. Spray foam insulation and tongue and groove pine for the ceiling. #L91Studio
Anna turned 3 today! It was great to celebrate with family this afternoon. Huge shoutout to Steph for putting together a fabulous party (I just got this morning from a golf trip! 😂)
The sunsets following the rain are always the best!

Yesterday’s high ropes and zipline crew!
Happy 4th!
Swimming in the beauty of Mary Oliver’s poetry this morning as I write the program note and put the finishing engraving touches on “Drifting,” a new concerto for euphonium. After some wonderful performances by Vince Kenney and Alison Mahovsky, I look forward to the rest of the consortium receiving the music next month! There is a version with wind ensemble as well as a reduction.
Oh, and I’m still taking a bunch of photos but have been terrible about posting them. Here are a few of Steph’s lovely flowers, taken a few weeks ago!
