I could not imagine life without color or flowers. If we do not have dreams or goals, we are living life in black and white day by day. If we are discontent with life we need an inner nudge..or an outer nudge... t...

If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.  Miguel Angel Ruiz Have you been thrown any unexpected curves lately?  How do you handle them?  It is your reaction that determines the outcome, whether you can find the good in it or not.  With this new living arrangement we are still on the 'honeymoon' with occasional glitches that make us take cover and want to think about what was ...be...

It bypasses your logic centers and even your intellect and goes to a different part of the brain." Steven Bochco Every painting has it's own rhythm and voice.  I paint by music. Each painting has a variety of songs and words behind the process. Our lives are no different ... we have our own rhythm and voice.  Each a unique timbre of sound in the melody of life.  What is your melody? What is your life? Her...

It's a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends."Darell Hammond Can you measure love?  This horse painting from 2008 of two trotting side by side ... made me ponder that question.

It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun."  Brian Wilson The days are flying past.  Last week we had Tropical Storm Bill move through adding another 8 inches of rain to our garden and trees. With it came a lot of wind. Damage: Two tomato plants blown over; several branches off the Red Oak tree in the backyard. In the middle of all of this... our youngest son, Morgan, and his wife Kelly, moved in across the street.  She is five mont...

I remember chasing fireflies at night running through her garden in the circle drive.  I remember playing in the rain and seeing rainbows as the sun burst through the clouds.   Summer seems more unpredictable than most seasons with our torrential rains, unexpected winds and to...

Rick and Hollee have asked me for tall vertical paintings of wolves, bison and horses in earth tones.  So I struggle NOT to paint like rainbow bright! "There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." George Carlin I chose a wolf with a face fully turned and you will see tomorrow if you watch the slideshow of the paint itself how it evolved to this position in stead.  I s...
