Crows


 Crows 
Oil on Wood
6"X6"

The crows were out in force during our Tuesday bocce game. 
No one knew why, but they were clearly agitated, just like the rest of us. 
 There is a lot to cry about. 
It took until 4p.m. today for me to stop flapping around, quiet my own demons and finally start painting.
Now I can enjoy the weekend rain, and read a book, or watch a movie by the fire.
Tomorrow is another day.

Summer Memory


 Summer Memory
Oil on Wood
20"X24"

Remembering my friend.
Remembering warmth and sunshine.

Listening to Bob Dylan. Remembering the 60s. "Not Dark Yet," "It's not dark yet, but it's getting there. Here we are again. Turmoil and pain. The beauty of music touches my heart.
Holding on to HOPE and belief in humanity.

I stopped to see the birds on my way home from the market this morning.

New Year Crow


 New Year Crow
Oil on Wood
6"X8"

Old friends in the New Year. Layering new paint on two old paintings seems appropriate at this moment. 
 Nothing is new. We just keep adding new experiences, making new memories. What was there seeps through in surprising ways.
Listening to Jon Batiste make Beethoven new and Bobby McFerrin do the same with Mozart, Bach, and other greats.
Life imitates Art imitates Life. 
Happy to be in the studio with the past and present.
