“Hope perched in the soul and sings tunes without words” Mixed 18”x24” I use everything on this one. Oil, varnish, felt tips, pencil, chalk, I tried to transfer my astronomical chart, white glue, and water... kitchen sink;) It was a pretty interesting couple of hours of work. I wanted to depict an image of hope, building on the ashes of previous unsuccessful life events, ideas, beliefs or directions.

I got the Idea while gazing out a huge picture window over looking Yachats, on the central coast in Oregon. I was fixated everyday, gazing at the village below as the ocean waves rolled in. On the last day, just befor leaving, I looked up as increadible clouds were rolling in. I realized there is a lot of beauty in the would but sometimes you have to look away from the obvious. the painting is a reminder to myself not to fixate on the most obvious thing, but to try to see the much more complicated and revealing big picture.
Read MoreI really enjoyed my first juried Art Show that supported the Effie Yeaw Nature Center Art Gala last night. My painting " the pink sky echoed beaks and claws" took first place in the completion where 270 pieces were submitted. It was auctioned off for well over the asking price. My deepest thanks to my wife Susan who encouraged me to enter the show and allowing me to hang my "strange works" all over the house.
Cool! one of my paintings was chosen by the Kennedy Gallery to highlight the show this month. I hope to see you there this Saturday from 7-8.
