Begs the question: are people who do ‘bad’ things are necessarily bad themselves? Could you have the presence of mind to do what this man did with this young mugger? I don’t know if I would have – but maybe if we can take a look at how he did it, we could think a […]

What Happened to Handwriting?
My eyes used to roll over in my head and I’d feel like dying of boredom each time I heard my mother say, “In my day…” Now I see from the perspective of experience over a lifetime, and realize that she was just sharing with me all the changes she wirnessed. She saw the advent […]

Thanks to you!
Thank you so much for sending me such nice comments about my crazy plan to paint 100 paintings in 100 days (http://bit.ly/100-100-100). I’ll tell you more of what I’ve learned by doing this experiment in the next couple of days! It’s been awesome, and 5 paintings have already sold out of 22 – cool! That’s […]
Break the Moldy Old Mold with Me!
As I told you last week, I’ve been painting up a storm for my Plastic Drinking Water Boottle Cleanup project. When I first started it up, I promised myself I’d paint a painting every day (M-F!) for 100 days. Well, I broke my mold! (You can see the painting that did it above.) I took […]

I’m used to the pliability and richness of oils, and I’m telling you, acrylics is a whole nother beast. But I’m slowly getting used to […]
Now You Can Get Fantastic Prints of My Pa...
A big part of my expanding my Dream of doing more art is finally being able to make prints available of my work. And it’s happening! Now people can get really nice prints of my work on paper, framed or unframed, or on canvas! Formerly, if anyone wanted a print, I did it myself, printing, […]
Sun, Sand & Sculpture!
Every once in a while you just gotta stop and not just smell the roses (gardenia, jasmine…) but go down to the beach and have a romp!
