Welcome to my new Blog Page!

I tried to upload three new paintings to my website today, but the upload page was closed for maintenance.  Eager to share, I decided to begin this blog today instead.

I'll be sharing the processes of painting, the logic and introspection that goes on as I create, and the passion that propels the process.  By logic, I mean the cognitive thinking that works out the problems I encounter.  These can come from either what others would call a mistake, or from trying to convey a feeling that I don't know any technique to use for.  And, of course, I plan to share how I get to a solution.

By introspection, I mean digging deeper into my feelings, to be able to verbalize what I've only known as an impulse; where it's coming from and why I feel led to follow that need.  And we all know what passion is.  It's the driving force that makes art.  Why else would an artist put up with the struggles, the fears, the aloneness?

I'll probably be posting once a week, but if I have the time and I'm dying to share something new, I'll post more often than that.

Wishing you a Wonderful Day!
