Hello! Long time no write!

Well I am sincerely hoping to get back in the groove of

sharing my art work and creativity with you.

Sometimes, as an artist, we need to cocoon a bit,

wrap up and see what we really nee to see.

Actually, that's not a bad thing for anyone.

 

I began teaching again in St. Charles,

at Missouri Artists on Main,

an amazing gallery full of the most talented collection

of artists in Missouri.

They are also the most welcoming and inspiring

group of artists I have ever met!

 

Teaching again reminded me how very much I love

lighting up the fire of art

in others.

It's one of the finest things I've ever done

and I love doing it.

It's both an honor and a pleasure.

 

The other piece of treasure I discovered in my cocooning

is a remembrance of the wonder of drawing.

My pens and pencils have all come out of hiding and have been put to work.

Drawing is a wonderful meditative thing

that is far more than image making.

It's a spiritual thing that opens you up as it slows you down.

If coloring books do wonders for you,

you should try drawing.

 

Well I have plans.

I have dreams.

But I am going to save them for another day.

I haven't forgotten my paints.

You can see my oils over at the

Kirkwood train station through the end of the month.

I will be here more often,

with some surprises,

some new journeys.

I hope you will join me.
