Being an artist is like playing softball, or maybe golf.  It helps to have a little natural talent, but almost anyone can do it.  But, if being an artist is your calling, your job, your profession, it's a different ballgame entirely.

Ha! I just figured out how to write new thoughts, and if this seems random it is.  After all, I am an artist.

The early morning breeze is stirring the windchimes, the moon has set but the stars are still out--it's going to be a good day.  I think Julia Cameron is right when she says art arises out of paying close, careful attention to the moment you are in.

2009 has been such a mixed year, with tough times for almost everyone.  I hope 2010 will be a more peaceful, prosperous year, with lots of blessings for friends, family, and artists everywhere.

I'm working on a large paper background piece, and trying to get the design perfect while not creasing the large paper is driving me nuts!  I need a magic wand!

Each month I mail off my Transaction Priviledge License Tax--aka sales tax.  It's never very much, but in my mind, it all goes to the public schools in Arizona.  With our state government, I think my pittance is all that is going to education in my state.

Has anyone used ShinHan artists markers?  How did you like them?

Art Cards are now available.  These fun, collectible pieces of art are hand made in a standard 2.5x3.5" format.  Originals are hand -drawn and hand-colored on high quality paper, using a variety of inks, markers, and acrylics.  These cards are also available in Limited Editions.  The cards are for sale, but I am also interested in trading cards with other artists.

Ultimately, for me studio has come to mean a state of mind as much as place.  Studio is where the job gets done.  --Lu Bro

What would I like people to take away from viewing my art? I want people to love the desert depicted in my oils; and to notice the wealth of complicated things to look at and enjoy in the layered paper creations.

Wow, it took three weeks, and 11 chapters of a very challenging book on art theory and practise, but now I know the changes I want to make in the current small oil painting on the easel.  Sometimes someone else's insight leads, directly or indirectly, to new solutions to painting problems. : )
