What would I do for free? My friend put it this way. ‘In kind.‘ We have been working away at kid collaborations for weeks. They are for the Kids for Peace gala auction. I’ve already donated two paintings and sent over all the written information. It’s a tad more complicated with the gallery representation, butContinue reading “Work For Free”

There is a book called “Your Brain on Art”. It explains how the brain works better when it gets to experience art. Lots of scientific findings showing how neural pathways are enhanced and healthier when art is introduced. I’ve always suspected. When I taught I would often collaborate with the teachers so their lessons wouldContinue reading “Community”

A swan is symbolic. This painting painted itself while I was enjoying experimenting with my Italian paints. Clarity, beauty, purity, love, and strength, swans also represent the one of a kind, once in a lifetime unique nature of each life, each moment. Strong feminine energy, intuition and loyalty. These are a few things I learnedContinue reading “Swan”

There was a time when peace seemed far away. I was inspired to paint intentions into several paintings. Doves symbolize peace. I like to believe that peace starts in the hearts and minds of each one of us. I believed then and feel like I know now, that it’s true. These doves flying up symbolizeContinue reading “Doves Fly Up 1”

Peace is coming, peace can be conjured, we are creatingContinue reading “Doves Fly Up 2”

After a handful of cars passed awkwardly, I pullled over so we could continue talking. A minute later G stopped across fromContinue reading “Funny Moments”

I wanted to be a cowboy or a horse, mostly a horse

A blue bird showed up. I thought it was a dove. .. Again with my painting (the one that’s not working), I’m not surprised. It’s still not coming together, but that did. Blue birds everywhere lately. We have two couples of actual live blue birds nesting somewhere nearby. They are right outside our window. HowContinue reading “Blue Birds?”

Here’s a painting that has been stumping me. Sometimes when I’m this stumped, I abandon the project and start another one. Success is flanked by fails in anything. I paint nearly every day so I start and finish paintings constantly. I abandon or take breaks all the time. Some paintings turn out better than IContinue reading “Love AND Money?”
