D is for days left behind me...


Bishop Epic Golf Game...what a feeling...

Yesterday was one of those days in the studio that is like the scene in the movie "Caddy Shack", where the bishop has the greatest golf game of his life.  He keeps winning.  I had one of the most productive days ever as I completed four paintings.  They all just seemed to come together and the timing could not be better.  Below are the completed paintings.

The F word....

Alas the F word- 
f-word n (sometimes capital; preceded by the) a euphemistic way of referring to the word fuck.

In our culture,  F is the letter we relate to most regarding profanities and lewdness--case and point--"the f word"--WTF or LO FL or just FU.

I  see the F made up of three simple twigs.  F is for fun, future, face book and freedom.  F is for facts and figures, familiarity, future, freedom, forgiveness and forever.  F is for faith!
