Sometimes you paint something that you really like, something that very much hits every potential goal you set for your work, yet you find yourself at a loss for words to describe it. That’s very much how I feel about this newer painting, Moment Divine, a 10″ by 16″ piece on paper. Perhaps this lack [...]

Give me a place to stand, and I will move the Earth. – Archimedes ^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is actually a condensed and long accepted version of Archimedes‘ words. It was really about the power of lever in physics. He actually said: Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I will move [...]

When you’re an artist, sometimes your work goes to distant places and is involved in interesting things of which you may never know. One such example is an event that took place at the US Embassy in Kathmandu in Nepal near the end of this past January. It was an art gala, shown here in a photo, [...]

I’ve written here before about how I find the color blue an intoxicant. When my nose is to the canvas and it is all that I can see, it has a way of making me feel that it is the only color in my world. It’s a very satisfying and mollifying effect and, if I [...]

A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials. –Chinese Proverb ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I call this new painting Gem. It’s an 18″ by 26″ piece on paper.

“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” -John Quincy Adams ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I don’t what made this pop into my head but I was thinking about a conversation from a few years back that I had with a friend who is also a painter. He has been an [...]
RFD
Posted in Painting, Recent Paintings, tagged New Painting, Painting, Red Tree on March 30, 2012 | 2 Comments »
A new painting, a 16″ by 20″ canvas that I call RFD, for rural free delivery. It alludes to the small mailbox with the the door hanging open, a theme I have used in a prior piece within the past few years. Maybe it’s a comment on the decline of our postal system, something that saddens me [...]

It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. –Pablo Picasso **************** This short sentence from Picasso is one of my favorite quotes. It both makes me smile whenever I hear it and brings to mind my own struggles with recognizing my own creative voice, something [...]

Beauty Scorned
Posted in Early Paintings, Painting, tagged Painting on March 23, 2012 | 2 Comments »
I was going to write about something different but came across this older image and completely lost my train of thought, this piece replacing everything that I had been thinking. It’s a smaller painting, maybe 6″ square, that sold many years ago but has lived in a larger sense in my thoughts ever since. It’s titled Beauty [...]
