5/3/11 | | Working on this painting today and I was struck with how our lives can change in an instant. We happen to be in a weather pattern of rain and overcast clouds that has been with us for a month. When the sun does break through for momentary periods it is overwhelmingly wonderful. Maybe its that contrast that enamors me. I so want to believe the good in people, in injustice, in suffering,that I always want the light to shine along the darkness. It appears so much brighter in the darkness. |

A single night of passage
My heart searches the darkness
Winds rage
She illuminates…
Her form quietly sweeps across the plains
of my memory
In the corner of my dream she whispers…
Hope
On display at Guissepe's in Bexley, OH.

3/14/11 | | Today ... I was finishing up an idea for a triptych. Do you ever wonder why our eyes like a grouping of three versus two or four? It is amazing sometimes when I think about the connections of how we are wired and what speaks to wholeness/beauty in the world of art and music. There is so much that is just a part of our make up to see and hear what speaks to our soul. Definitely we all have our own idea of art and what speaks to us personally- but how much - even in our differences are we the same? |

3/6/11 | | I'm working on this commission piece for my friend who's father served in the Air Core in WW2. Its always a little emotional for me as I try and connect with the person and bring that out in the painting. Added on is the respect and appreciation for what this man did for our country. |

2/18/11 | | I saw this quote recently from a family member on facebook and was inspired to take some different views of my pieces. The unpredictability of life leaves me wanting to judge/control less and love more, listen more. Today could be our last opportunity to make a difference. Is there someone you dislike/hate? Try to look at life through their lense and get to know them. |
