I've been spending alot of time painting again. Here are a couple of the works in progress.

Calcite in Yellowstone

Looking through my old pictures, I found this of calcite formations in Yellowstone. I edited the contrast a bit, and thought it looked good. Yellowstone is a beautiful place, and I hope to see more of the national parks one day. So much there is shocking to the senses in comparison to the relatively flat land along the Mississippi where I live.

Life has only afforded me a few chances to travel and experience this country, but what I have seen is beautiful. I have deep emotional memories and some good pictures too. Thankful.

16x20 Original Art

I'm happy with this one. It started out very drab and plain, and over time evolved into this. I hope you enjoy it. Acrylic on canvas. Inquiries are welcome.

Painting Again

 

I could spend all my time,

out here

on the cracked earth,

knowing stars still sit

outside but can't see me.

Slats with cracks -

displaying parts of the night sky.

I could sip and lean just so,

in my little shelter,

full of light,

smooth colors flowing in front of me.

Learning and Relearning

Years ago I started this blog and called it "Drift No More." I was feeling bold and confident. It seems that I had some more drifting to do. Lately, I have begun to think that maybe drifting isn't so bad, if I can Drift With Purpose. I am still changing, and choosing how I change has become important.
