Enduring Tears
Not long ago NASA made their big announcement about Pluto. I was happy for all the people who worked so hard on the project, but “happy with a small h”. You see, I don’t need NASA to “prove” there is life elsewhere in the universe. I’ve come to understand that long ago through a couple […]

Humming At Pie
This unfinished piece is one of my earliest on-screen creations. It’s about 10 years old now. I’m showing it here and now for a couple of reasons. First, lately I’ve been asked more questions about my art in terms of meaning and such. Frankly it is much easier for me to talk about that in […]

In The Loop
I’ve always liked the look of Mobius curves. However, I’ve never understood the math that tries to explain it . . . those infinite loops. They do remind me of what the poets, romantics and dreamers talk about . . . eternal love or endless love. Are those terms one and the same? The question […]

The Painting That Named Itself
One of the nicest things about blogging is that you can learn little things about yourself as you go along. I learned something yesterday, while writing Cast From The Past. It’s a post about a new painting and my sometime-struggles with the naming of such. Even as I was typing that post, a little voice […]

Cast From The Past
Several times I’ve mentioned how my paintings evolve. I can let them rest for years, seemingly stuck for completion. That may imply a level of frustration, but it’s not meant that way at all. It’s much more like a self-test of patience, even confidence in a way. Before I let a picture rest for awhile […]

Love Child
It seems like every summer I have this surge of minor but significant changes in style, and it seems like over the past several weeks it’s happening again. A few days ago I began playing with a rendition of my recent pictures, using it to try using some new techniques. As often happens in this process, […]

Magic Instead of Perfection
I should have written that perfect blog post by now. That’s the one that tells you a bunch about that new item up top on my menu bar. It’s called “Original Art”. That’s bound to get done soon, but for now here’s something a little related to that section. The other day I tweeted an […]

My Organized Orgy of Art
What an odd feeling it is . . . now that I’m organized I feel like it’s time to get some things done! It’s taken several days now to re-organize my art files. It’s not like I’m a hoarder or anything . . . it’s just that once a work of art is begun, it […]

Five Uneasy Pieces
This has been one of the toughest weeks that I can remember . . . an emotional roller coaster, but one with no upsides. It’s been crippling in the sense of trying to get anything done business-wise. I just couldn’t do it. I did manage to care for my demented mother in the usual way. […]

Mixed Results
Ever since my return from Calgary I’ve been spending less and less time on social media. That’s been almost a month now, and while I do miss having the personal contact with my closest friends and fans, I really need to focus more on my offline art-related activities. The main one right now is taking […]
