Getting the canvas wet…
…and experimenting with black.
When the heart overflows…
“The heart overflows with gladness, and leaps and dances for the joy it has found in God. In this experience the Holy Spirit is active, and has taught us in the flash of a moment the deep secret of joy. You will have as much joy and laughter in life as you have faith in […]
Sketching darkness and light
more sketches hereand some photos from under the table that inspired me, especially after seeing Gerhard Richter and his dark paintings.
Art meets music…
Two of my paintings found a place on the CD cover of Jens Mügge’s music. He is making a very special kind of music that is called “Overtone”, you can read more about it on his website. Or you can just listen to it below . . . (https://www.reverbnation.com/jensmuegge) I find it very relaxing and […]
“You Who Never Arrived”
You who never arrived in my arms, Beloved, who were lost from the start, I don’t even know what songs would please you. I have given up trying to recognize you in the surging wave of the next moment. All the immense images in me — the far-off, deeply-felt landscape, cities, towers, and bridges, and […]
Reaching out
As we reach out to our creator, the creator reaches out to us…
without a reason…
Was just watching Gerhard Richter, Painting… Gerhard Richter Painting trailer from Kino Lorber on Vimeo.View video above on vimeo Kind of warming up to his grays and the way he “buries” the colors in it and in white and in blacks. Black and white never appealed to me but now I can see it in […]
grays and blacks…
Back in the studio after some well deserved relaxing with family and friends, watching some nice movies, reading some nice books, long walks, puttering in the garden (grateful for a year round season in LA, though fearing for the lettuce drowning in all the rain) and watching the rain fall and spend some time in […]
a live on its own… (unfinished works in process)
I am always amazed and captured by how ideas come as I keep working on a painting, and how it takes on a life on its own, telling its story . . . starting with this . . . to this . . . more to come . . .
Cards with Quotes and my paintings
Set of 12 Inspirational cards (2 x 3.5in) in a beautiful envelope, with my painting on one side and a matching quote on the other side. A wonderful idea for a mindful present or just a special gift for yourself 😉 “Drag your thoughts away from your troubles… by the ears, by the heels, or […]

painting in progress…
Its slowly taking shape…. and changing shape… still a few elements are missing but the basics are there… shadows and highlights in the face and hand, still a bit harsh and contrasting without the final layers and colors yet. I wanted to capture the moment of nourishment, the spoon feeding I had […]

Be your note.
Each Note Advice doesn’t help lovers! They’re not the kind of mountain stream you can build a dam across. An intellectual doesn’t know what the drunk is feeling! Don’t try to figure what those lost inside love will do next! Someone in charge would give up all his power, if he caught one whiff of […]
On a lazy Sunday afternoon . . .

Filling the creative well…
Getting out and about visiting friends in Berkley and Santa Cruz, just cruising 😉 and “filling up the creative well”. Julia Cameron writes about that in her book “The Artist Way“, she calls them “artist dates” and I have been neglecting them lately. I always somehow get to do my writing in the morning, but […]
