Morning Walk

On a walk along the shore of Sequim Bay... another really gorgeous morning. Even though summer is winding down... my spirit is lifted by the fact that not so many days from now we will be seeing the beautiful colors of fall!

Flowers

Flowers are very beautiful, they are an essential part of being human… they create a feeling of peace… they create the softness that makes us human and bring joy to life…

All Day and Night

Sometimes I can paint all day and all night…when I get going I don’t become tired, I just continue and have no sense of time…the clock is at 9:20 in the evening. I've been here all day, just painting my heart out.

On Creativity

Creativity is an erotic process… it engages all of the senses, and when I paint it’s a very sensual experience…

Dreams

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.  Begin it now.” – Goethe

Gardens

Having a garden is absolutely wonderful. 

Courage

Courage is but a leap in the dark.

Amazing Things

Amazing things happen when we start to move, and get out of our own way!

Things!

Extraordinary things are happening…!

Summer Evening

Yesterday, we had a beautiful sunset on Sequim Bay. It was a mild evening with no breeze and a gathering of wonderful friends to enjoy the evening.

My studio is where I do the majority of my ‘living’.  It’s also where I do plenty of painting, reading, and dreaming.  (Although, not necessarily in that order).  It has also been where, on occasions, I have hosted a great conversation and even better wine!

Seattle

Going to Seattle today, to run a few errands and to go to the world famous Pike Place Market.

Big Paintings

I like to paint large paintings.

Fragments

Come Sail Away

We are the masters of our own ship and it is up to us to create the adventures of our dreams. Come sail away with me on the sea of dreams.

Paint Textures

A study of paint textures on canvas.

Chief Sealth

I took this photo of a statue of Chief Sealth the other day when I was in Seattle. The light was just right for a b/w photo.
