website and longer than that to add to my blog - hopefully the wait will be worth it for those of you who like my work.The frightening milestone of a half century on the planet is creeping up on me fast. So I figured this is the perfect time to not only update my website with my newest work but to also build my online archives with my early paintings and drawings. It's very uplifting to see what you have created for the past twenty years all in one place. As one who suffers from endless self-doubt you can't imagine how positive an affect this has on me.
On the newly updated website I've included my first ever painting from back in 1991. It's titled "The Light Came On" and was created the morning after an emotionally wrenching evening when a woman I was "courting" gave me the heave-ho. Well, she was actually very nice about but it hit me very hard and the next morning I woke up and began painting. The painting came out in about an hour or two and I just sat and stared at it for a long time. It was all happy shock and delight that something like this was able to come out of me. I was hooked on painting from there on out and my desire to paint and create art has not waned since.
The woodworked painting at right is my newest painting "King of the Trees" that was the centerpiece of my solo show "The Air That I Breathe" last May at Future Studio Gallery. If you were unable to attend the show, all of the work that was in the show is up on the website now. Check it out - I would love to hear your comments about the work.
One last note: my previous attempts at starting a blog have not been maintained in the past but I will make a better effort this time. Some days may only be a picture or two and some thoughts but I will make this promise to myself and to you that I will post something every week from here on out. Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck.
Enjoy your life and talk with you soon.
