Free
Since August 8, 2008, I have been inspired by the painting a day phenomenon that is happening in the blogsphere. This truly is an art movement. I started my first daily painting with a tomato from my summer garden. I will also be using my “Earth Objects” as inspiration. This should be an interesting ride.
My plan is to post a painting a day at least five days a week. Please feel free to "feed your burn" and tell other art lovers about this blog site.

I Am Free
Journal Cover |
Flash forward 38 years. I am so glad I saved this journal of "angst". As I read through the pages I laugh and giggle at my thoughts of youth. I will be sharing some of these thoughts, poems and lines in the coming months as the series "Thoughts to Think About" unfolds.
At the end of this first entry I write, "I am free". What a wonderful insight. To feel free. What a beautiful memory of that time period when the world was ahead of me. It reminds me of the song that came out that following year by STYX--"Come Sail Away with Me". I was almost free and getting ready to launch into adulthood. What a great feeling to be free.
My next painting in this series will be..."I am Free".

Pine Cross in process
I am continuing my work on Pine Cross this week. I started this painting 18 months ago before my move to Missouri to accept a full time teaching position. I had a long interlude without studio time and posting because of this move and subsequent return to my home area. Without a lot of explanation...it did not work out. What is important is to continue the work. Here we are again. You can see before and after in this post. I will continue to post the progress of this work as this blog has always been about painting and the painting process thus a "painter who blogs". I am moving into a new realm of work. I will continue my image archaeological works and am beginning to work on words that go with the process. I plan to publish the works (words) as cards and prints. More to come on these happenings...for now I hope you "dig" the new work and Namaste.
Before
After
"Thoughts to Think About". A new series. Inspired by a song by Hendrix with the lyric repeated over and over again.
