I have emerged on the blog, finally! Welcome to my recently updated website, a labor of love by a very gifted young woman I’m close to. I hope to be able to add future blog posts with much more regularity.

So why the long silence with the website? Good question. Basically, I’ve been working for a couple of years now learning how to paint. That may sound like false modesty but it’s the truth. When I started painting full time about six years back, I thought it was a “rolling off a log” situation. I can paint. I have some talent. So what’s there to fear? Well, the problem was I had little understanding of the technical skills needed to effectively use the various mediums. In addition, I needed many hours to develop the intuitive responses to the paints and the surfaces. This takes time.

Today I’m pleased to say that I’m producing paintings that are credible and display an ability to handle paint and come up with interesting compositions. I’m not completely there yet and am still learning with each painting, but I feel like I’ve reached a point where I need to get out there and let people see the work.

I’m thinking that this is enough for one post so I’ll sign off. Please look for more posts in the near future.

Bless you readers one and all!
