I have no words to express my feelings about seeing someone fall in love with a piece of the art I created. I feel so honored to know this talented and delightful young woman.
I hope you listen to her music that speaks so deeply to my soul. And yes, this piece of art went home with her. ❤ Fulfilling my obligation to world art drop day.
As always I wish you love and kindness.

I have been in absentia for some time. It hasn’t been for lack of wanting to make things, or communicating with this blog. Pondering my quirky nature; and just WHY I feel the need to be so closed about my personal life, I’ve still so many questions. Is the silence really serving, or is it suffocating? I am certain (despite my lack of impeccable grammar) that there is a book inside of me. The life I chose,
or allowed has been atypical for certain. I wonder, really really wonder what would happen should I take to the written word like it is a canvas. Would the words be soft and soothing, or would they come flying out of me like a verbal Jackson Pollack, spewing expletives here and there with wild abandon, crushing my own pre-concieved notions of right and wrong? Would I format this like a typical work, or just shut off the monitor with nothing to see as I type my life out to the world? Time will tell. Tell me what you think? I am a paid published author, via a public art project I was involved with. I’ve some new work to offer up for you to see, however I still need to photograph those, maybe today; but probably not. I do think there will be time in this upcoming week. In the meantime, some not quite ready for prime time viewing, but I am showing them nonetheless. One is addition and subtraction, the other is a tortured canvas. I don’t think in the poor quality photo of the tortured canvas you can see the hole in it; but it is there. I it is a reminder of the hole in my heart that is probably going to remain. As always, I wish you love and joy.

So much is going on, and it is GOOD. I will be taking Art on the road to a destination on the coast of Florida. Another show is also in progress on the east coast. My works will be picked up by courier and heading out. I want to thank my genius, generous friends, and family. Thank you for lifting me up. What a ride the past couple of weeks have been. Fate is going to put me face to face with someone I idolize, could it get better? Here are some studio shots, friends and family. They believe in me, and I believe in me too. I know I won’t miss the boat, and I sure won’t miss the plane. Enjoy the photos of the studio, and happenings. Listen to my favorite Modest Mouse song. As always, wishing you kindness and joy! Color me happy. #art #artist #abstract #roadtrip

“I’m sorry that I’m sorry that I’m not like you.” Lyric from a beloved song from Porcupine Tree (wait for it!) As always I wish you love and joy.

Working in the studio with ambient music was oh so soothing today. Giving a huge shout-out to Knytt Underground for the mood.
This piece of art will go into the “Once in a blue moon” series in progress. As always love and joy wished for you.

This work of art came directly from my soul. It is muted on purpose to capture the feeling of shape shifting spirit. I experienced this, and fortunately had witness. Had I not; I still may be questioning myself.
And, ahh for the love of cover music. Jennifer O’Connor does Cat Stevens proud with her cover of one his songs. As always, I wish you love, and joy.

I can’t say just how much I love Timmy Reynolds. I remember seeing him solo, live in Columbus Ohio. I felt really bad as his genius was boo’d. Sad, thing was everyone who really didn’t understand his music thought they were going to a Dave Matthews Band Concert. I also was fortunate to see The Dave Matthews Band multiple times in Columbus Ohio. I loved it when he kicked off his tour, and had tickets for two nights. TWO separate play lists. So many things in these lyrics are true for me, in the present, where I sit and ponder. The art I created is a bit dark; unlike the bright and shiny pieces that thrill me to make. I am exploring, searching; and thankfully finding answers. Lyrics from this song will be at the end of the post.
As ever I wish you joy and love. #art #artist #exploring #TimReynolds #DMB
“Dancing Nancies”
“Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been
Lost Somewhere in Paris
Could I have been
You’re little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could have been anyone other than me?
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Then I look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What’s the use in worrying, what’s the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am well who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me
And then I’ll
Sing and dance
I’ll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I’ll work it out
And then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What’s the use in worrying, what’s the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been a dancing Nancy a dancing Nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?”
“Steady one won’t you come on down. I need you right here on the ground.” I have been working on meta-art. It is made with pieces of things that would normally go into the trash after a painting session.
Interesting that one of my earliest paintings was actually a political statement to the plastic in the ocean. Something profound changed in my thinking while looking at my bucket of paint water; making me question my practices.
I like to think myself an environmentalist. Changes are due in my studio practice. It is exciting that I will be sharing this new journey with you. I am working on an environmental impact installation. As ever, I wish you kindness and love.
I hope you enjoy the music while pondering this post.

I am working on substrates that are reuse. I had so much fun poking around today in the studio. I picked out a piece of wood for some magic to happen on.
I was so delighted when I turned it over and found “the door to childhood. It also made me think of my friends. Most of the time I am very child-like when creating.
So much wonderment, and joy!
I have loved this song since discovering Napoleon Dynamite so many years ago. I hope you enjoy the song while pondering the pictures. Want more? Tomorrow is a
peek inside the studio. As ever, I wish you joy, and kindness. #art #abstract #encaustic

These are some older works. I was looking at them and pondering my reality. One work is on paper, the other on canvas. I am not sure if they fit with me any longer. Time will know. The lyrics of this James Taylor song made me think of fire and rain as metaphors, as well as literal. I just wanted to share that. As always, kindness and joy. Spread some around.
