Pursuit of What?
Sometimes I get into my head and do too much thinking in pursuit of what? Do you do that too? It is a futile exercise. Wondering what SHOULD I do next. I need to be quiet and listen for the answer instead of trying to figure it out. Letting the Holy Spirit guide me. …

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…
