  • Artists go Gently

    Unless it is about money,  artists go gently into the world seeking truth.   Believing in a higher calling, we use imagination and determination to work.  Striving for excellence to tell who we are as part of the human experience.  I now work in series to tell a story of growth.   One painting is part…

  • Evolution of a Painting

  • Transformation

    With all that is going on in the world, it is easy to buy into the negativity.  We all have to set ourselves up for something better. Why not start each day with positive input? That is truly transforming into loving yourself and others. This painting is called “Released”.  It means released from negativity and…

  • Pursuing Excellence

    Just watched a movie about Winslow Homer.   A famous artist from the 1850’s to 1909 who made wonderful paintings of life and daily living. He was  an advanced thinker of social change.   Homer loved depicting women and children and the landscape.   He went from tight wonderful paintings to full of life loose…

  • America, Where Art Thou?

    I’m grateful to live in this country and I don’t like it when people tear it down and insist that we’ve got to change the Constitution to fit their their own self interests.  This country is changing so much and by trampling on the Constitution we won’t recognize it.  It is heading toward an un-United…

  • Building on Hope

    Hope is a powerful word.  It’s the basis of dreams and goals.  If you can’t hope for the future and then build on it, you’ll be stuck in the same place year after year.   As an artist it’s more that that. I get stuck in myriad of ways.  One is listening to the gurus…

  • Endurance to Win The Race

    To win a race you have to run many miles even when your legs feel like they’re going to fall off.  What you are doing is building endurance.   That is what I’m in the process of doing, I’m building endurance.   I can’t sit around and daydream and think I can win.  No, I…

  • Feeling Renewed

    After a rain is over do you feel renewed?  I know I do.  The air is clear and sparkling and smells wonderful.  I feel the the same way when I spend time in the studio and my paintings sing to me. I feel refreshed.  The same happens when I’m with people I care for and…
