The Pollyanna Principle
I've been singing, acting, writing and painting for many years, thinking I was bringing something to these disciplines, something valuable, something of beauty. It is humbling, to say the least, when we inevitably encounter those moments which awaken us from the...
The Faceless Hordes
This is an excerpt from Quench, available soon! Through The Quench Project I simply want to give a face to the faceless hordes. When seen as a wash of humanity it is easy to lose sight of the individuals comprising the whole. My goal in coming here was not to document...
Lost in Place – the Polarization of the Art Biz
I've been in the art business for over 35 years. And to say it has had its ups and downs might be a bit of an understatement. But nothing could have prepared me for the last ten years. As the middle class has been shrinking dramatically, so have opportunities for...
Drawing from Memory
“I think it is all a matter of love; the more you love a memory the stronger and stranger it becomes” ― Vladimir Nabokov I've always thought there were basically two approaches to making art. There are those of us who derive inspiration from direct observation and...
Ownership and Copyright of Art
Image ownership has become more and more blurred with Instagram and other social media "re-purposing" original images. I recently read a great article with an update on this fascinating and important subject, especially for artists. I wrote extensively about...

I am happy to report I just sold my first Quench Project painting, called “Out of the Darkness” to a wonderful collector in Nashville, Tennessee. I have 5 more available and am working hard on getting them seen and bringing awareness to the needs in Haiti. I have...
Leaves Through the Trees
When an artist paints a tree or a flower, we are not painting individual leaves or pedals, floating aimlessly in the universe of our painting. They are attached; they are connected to something larger. They are dependent on the tree or the flower, that is planted in...
Imagination and Religion
I read with great interest of Jimmy Carter's decision to "Lose his Religion." Frankly, I agree that losing one's religion is the first step to true spiritual freedom. Religion is primarily an invention of men to control others. As a positive organizing force it has...
Art with A Social Conscience
If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. JFK Some believe art's sole purpose is to decorate. Others believe art is a conversation with one's self that is really a...

Here's my latest #oilpainting!
There are many ways to support my work besides buying the original oil painting, hand-embellished giclee or AP Giclee on heavy paper.
You can also REVIEW the work on my website. You can share this link with your friends by reposting on your page or sending in a Direct Message, "thought you might be interested in this." Even a simple "heart" goes a long way.

A portrait is an access portal to our memories. And someday, it will be the access portal for others into who we were. Today, I'm thankful to be entrusted with such a meaningful dharma. ... See MoreSee Less
