"Early one cool summer morning as the sun warmed the dew, mist arose from the earth and slipped silently through the tall glossy meadow grass. Cricket awoke and climbed high into the tall sweetgrass and prepared to sing his welcome to the new day..."

I guess I simply love the sounds of nature, and especially crickets, as much as any music I can think of. And I use watercolor much of the time because it's spontaneous and simple, like drawing.
