Well within…

May 15, 2008 · 2 Comments

…blooms the love of nature!
Or between the grass and the soil the "robin" finds his hearty meal ticket.
Its diet consists of invertebrates, such as grubs, caterpillars and grasshoppers.
Then fruits and berries during the cold months.

 There is only one pretty child in the world, and every “mother” has it.

IF • Electricity

May 10, 2008 · 3 Comments

I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain.

What is a soul?
It’s like "electricity" we don’t really know what it is,
but it’s a force that can light a room. Ray Charles

IF • Seed

May 6, 2008 · 5 Comments

I am using my weekly post of a “BOTANICA”
for this weeks topic of Illustration Friday which is “SEED“

I had been working on a new image “for seed”,
but it got so complex and convoluted that it started to choke!
Creativity can not be rushed nor forced, it needs to evolve…
it is sacred and…
I need a breath of fresh air…

Breath

Jotting dots,

May 5, 2008 · 3 Comments

In the creative process the jot of a dot is usually the first and primal action.
Bubbles, pollen, seeds, are variations on the jotting of dots compulsion…
And the sun is one JOT of a DOT.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
