The time is now!
After a month of traveling on a road trip of just under 4000 miles I am back in my studio. I have been putting off painting for lack of a new vision for the upcoming series. However ready or not I will begin to paint today and hope that the paint will show me the way through this fog of indecision. Often just beginning is enough to break the chain and clear the mind. Seeing is the thing!  The road has given me many memories and I am sure some will filter in to the new work. At my age travel takes a toll in energy so I m glad to be back home. 

Here is a new cactus leaf forming... like nothing I have seen before.

2018 Update

Well I have been gone from this blog for a while so I thought an update is required. This is a new year for us all and a new location in life for me. I have moved from the Seattle area to St George Utah. I have successfully downsized my life into a more comfortable environment and warmer weather. All is new and different and there is much to explore and learn. There is less traffic, less noise and less pollution. There are new places to visit, restaurants to eat at and sights to see. There is a big sky and wide open spaces filled with wonder. I am looking forward to this time of life and enjoying all that is new to this old man.

 
I will try to post more often but no promises as I am not on a schedule any more. See you all on the flip side soon.
