Millions of seconds pass unnoticed

Boring and unremarkable

Life’s time clock

But one second can change everything

Just one

And everything is different

Everything

A birth

A death

An accident

A surprise

Just that one moment

Creates a cascade of transformation

Each second

Can be

An ordinary miracle.

You create something beautiful of course!  It’s not just lemonade. 😉  I have been super busy working on my licensing partner’s requests and commissions.  I also have an upcoming show scheduled for March 2nd here in Tampa (more on that soon).  But I still find time to create as it is a MUST for my soul.  It clears my mind and calms my heart.  Please enjoy my latest art!

Creativity vs. Skill

As I continue my photographic journey I am realizing that a good picture has more to do with creativity than skill.  Skills can be learned, but imaginative expression cannot.  Having shifted my focus recently from my paint table to my camera, I am viewing the world a lot differently.  I am not looking to simply copy what other photographers are doing.  These days with the advent of virtually full-proof cameras, anyone can take a picture of a pretty flower and have it look really good.  I am looking for things that are slightly different.  Perfect flowers can be boring and I am anything but that.  I seek out the slightly edgy or spent.  I want flowers missing from the spray.  I look for torn edges and unpopular subject matter.  Sure, I will capture a perfectly beautiful rose when it happen to be in my visual path, but I am not looking for them.  

This piece titled “Lavender Dance” was a single shoot with missing flowers in a patch of perfectly lovely lavender sprigs.  I liked that nature had taken some of it’s beauty, yet left some for me to capture still….

My skill will improve over time and I hope my imagination will too!

I have always had a fascination with light and shadow.  In my latest work titled “Violet Blue” I have used aqua as light and violet blues as shadow to create depth and dimension.  It has a fluidity as well that evokes a sense of watery movement.  Sit back for a moment and relax your eyes and just let your vision get absorbed into the light….feel the calm energy that fills your mind….

It’s A Jubilee!

Like most artists, I am most happy when I am creating.  When it comes to the selling part it takes a great mental effort to “enjoy” the process.  It is tedious and monotonous to do computer work. Listing and promoting.  Listing and promoting.  Answering emails.  Ordering supplies.  If only a wealthy patron would sponsor me so all I had to do was paint and create all day without even considering the business of selling art.  While I am still waiting for that fantasy to come true, I soothe myself with those moments of utter jubilant joy when I can escape the dirty work and just create.  O.k., painting is dirty too, but a good kind of dirty. 😉  

Please enjoy my latest painting titled “Jubilee”.  It was a real treat to create!

Sometimes you just gotta get fresh!  I have been promoting past works heavily lately for the Holiday season and I have been painting custom work based on much older pieces.  I love working with all of my creations, but sometimes I really need to create something new.  After avoiding yellow for many years due to emotional reasons, I have found that it is showing up a lot lately.  Something really bad happened to me that I used to associate with the color, so it is refreshing to see my soul embracing this light and life giving hue.  Today I offer you some fresh lemons….I can almost smell them….
