Sometimes the answer to the question is the most obvious.
Hurrying Across
10″x8″ pastel on sanded paper
Out of all the crazy thing I have seen in lost and found boxes, I have never seen TIME. Time is a hard thing to find. You have to MAKE time for things most important in your life. Today I am painting while my son attends a pole vaulting camp.

Winter is Dead

Rainy Day Flowers

A warm, rainy day-this is how it feels when friends get together. Friend refreshes friend then, as flowers do each others, in a spring rain. -Rumi
Twilight – a time of pause

Rooster Morning Light
8″x8″ oil on panel
It took this beautiful rooster almost 18 months to find his voice, and each day he seems to find it a little louder and a little earlier.
