hope as is well…our schedules have gotten bigger and more complex than ever before…..recently  when i was noticing the different number of appointments i was having in a months time….it really got me to thinking how much of our lives are controlled by our outlook, by our digital schedules, how much time is spent checking our dashes, hits  and emails, ratings, analytics,  alexa,   amazingly enough its the different colors and the  combination of meetings that inspired the new creation………this was the inspiration to my new abstract  ”schedule” , this is 64 x 42, oil,…

hope you all enjoy… talk to you soon

………….peace …….

living the life of an artist definitely has been an adventurous ride… every once in while I develop painters block… where staring at blank canvas seems to go on and on,  and the application of paint seems non existence…. not sure where it comes from,  but it it not enjoyable and very frustrating….one way I found to stay fresh and keep my energy flowing is to get away for away for awhile and look at life from another perspective.  Let my batteries recharge. .. Sieglinde and I were recently in Laguna Beach after a long and busy spring…  seeing the ocean and inhaling the salt air was just what I needed to get back in the studio and get paint on my canvas….  Here is a recent abstract inspired by a wonderful recharging weekend…. this is titled, “thoughts of Laguna” .. it is 48 x 36, oil.. hope you all enjoy…. here’s to your own recharging…..

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
