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…

New Series in The Works
I’ve just started a new series that I had planned years ago. It’s the first week beginning in Genesis. I had to order a special size of canvas 60×30 from Sunbelt Mfg in Texas. They did a great job of having 2 struts plus corners on the back. Luckily it’s not heavy, otherwise I would…

Connecting with myself again (to go with the image)
