There is much written about music, and the only thing I can add is, listen to it with gusto, with your heart; your feet are bound to follow. The beat of a heart is music and so precious, embrace it! Peace. (Oil/Wood -24"x24") Canvas/Paper Prints are available! ... Continue Reading »

Unbalanced
I keep believing in hope and putting my trust in love and praying to God, that the "unbalanced" that plagues my dear ones (cancer) will disappear and the light will hold us and be with us. It is an unbalanced, much like a walk on a tightrope, that I'm finding hard to bear. I pray for all of you who cope with this and know that hope springs eternal. Peace. ... Continue Reading »
The Blur of Color…
My use of color is an attempt to create my own physical harmony, hopefully, as a way to tap into the resources of mental, emotional and even spiritual energies that sustain me, which enable me to stay sane. Hmmm...so much for poetic musing! The bottom line is if I don't color in and outside the lines, I go crazy! So Viola! the blur of my lines. (Process: Oil/Acrylic, on Canvas, filtered and blurred in Photoshop) ... Continue Reading »

Infinite – IF
Daily, I toil in a part of nature's paradise. I look out of my office window and see three enormous redwood trees. They form a semi-circle around a little rickety bench. There are days, when I sit on that bench, near these luscious beauties, which I have named "the three sisters". Wondering often, if they could speak, what infinite wisdom would they share. They are infinitely magical to me, changing the lines of their bark to peer at me in all kinds of shapes, color and forms. But, no matter the transformation of these "sisters", they always appear as women, whispering to me, daring me to discover their infinite wisdom. But, I cannot... ... Continue Reading »
Tango-IF
Tango is a very specific word, so for me, that didn't translate into a lot of different meanings...humph...that was my thinking! Tango, I thought, well, I'll do a couple, dancing a classic tango move. Well, I can't begin to tell you how this simple thought turned into an illustration, that wore me out! :) First, I drew a profile of a woman. I then cut it out using black paper. Next, I drew a rose on a piece of scrap watercolor paper, painted it with ink and water color. Then I drew and outline of a couple doing a tango move and then collaged it, using this week's newspaper coupons. All that was so much fun! Then, the frustration hit the ... Continue Reading »
Worn-IF
WARNING - YOU ARE ABOUT TO JOIN A PITY PARTY - WARNING! "Worn" - I looked the word up on dictionary.com. I'm not sure why, but I know that often times my definition of the word is more about feelings than the actual meaning, so I looked the word up. Funny, it meant, what I felt, "exhausted, spent, fatigued, diminished in value". I have been working (2) full times jobs for the last nine months. I am finishing/leaving one and continuing the other job. Somehow, I thought I would feel elated, now at least half my time would now again, be my own. But, alas, I feel, like the word for this week! "WORN" In between, working two full-time jobs, my ... Continue Reading »
