Open Air Studio

Posted by Leon Sun

Today Open Studio goes outside. I took Nikki for a run while I biked. We started from Golden Gate Park – JFK Drive just before the turn-in to the Polo Field. We rode to the top of the paved path at Land’s End, to our usual rest-stop and turn-around point. The sky today was strangely hazy. This is not fog, I thought. But what makes haze? I had not yet heard about the fire in Southern Oregon.

The rock that inspired the dharma dog painting and poem: Land’s End – from Travels with Dharma Dog. The sea was pretty calm today.

The smoke filtered sunlight resonated with the red of Nikki's fur, giving him a beautiful glow.
