  • Looking for a venue

    Just to let  you know, despite my silence, I have been working on the large version of “Pocket Paradise”.   I’m taking it slow, more like a mediation than hurrying through it.  Also, like I felt with “Freedom Tower in Spring”, I don’t want to give away the ending before it’s finished.

  • The show

    The Portrait Show, 2013 was on Friday night.  Not a big turnout….very cold nasty rain.   I wasn’t really happy with where my pictures were hung, I don’t think many people saw them.  Therefore, I gave up any hope of the People’s Choice Award.  But at any rate, here’s some photos:

The story goes like this: My friend’s daughter was giving riding lessons to a young girl named Jessica. Unfortunately, she was killed in the Newtown, CT massacre. So, in her memory, we are raising funds to give riding…

  • In the interest of healing

    I am sending some pictures to a charity “Anchored to Mental Health”, a mental health awareness organization. I may have posted these before, but here’s a reprise. This is a donation….figure art that is sitting around in boxes is not doing anyone any good.

  • Pocket Paradise WIP

    Here’s the first step in the large “Pocket Paradise”. I have the flag done, but realize, I don’t have the stripes a consistent width. I’m going to keep it that way….that’s the true impression the flag gives, and my work is interpretive, after all. Had a rejection from a juried show, but was invited to…
