Well, am I a happy clam, or what? I just received my copy of the 2025 SANTA FE LITERARY REVIEW, Volume 20 in which I am fortunate to have two paintings featured. One with a brief statement by me and the other to go with a short story.
That text reads: "A bird does not singbecause it has something to say. It sings because it has a song." Chinese Proverb.
I paint with emothions moving the brush and my favored music playing loudly in my studio. I paint not to give advice, but to garner questions while giving no answers. It is for you, the viewer, to react in a manner that suits your senses.
I paint because it is what I do. I paint because I love the act of not knowing what I am going to paint but letting the paint and the music move me. An accident will happen sooner or later, and since I have been painting for so long, I recognize that and go with whatever that accident has to offer. My ork is inspired by the paine, the music and often by poetry and lyrics.
