A moment together between the world wars. A wander in time. Now I am left to breathe and see and remember. Because of you I breathe. Thank You.

Still among us as energy, as memory, as a part of our hearts. Always.

I like creating series that run about 20 images. Sometimes more and sometimes less. When I Finish a series I go into a lull and then find an idea, or an inspiration that sparks the creative process again. The urge, so to speak. Even now I have an emotional idea that is mixed with blurry images for my next series. I like to dwell, generally,  on the positive. And my pictorial themes are intertwined with theatrical tactics that, to me, represent the  physical, psychological and transcendent conditions  enmeshed within human circumstances created by politics, love, environment and humor to name a few. A little of the Shakespeare. But like poetry or parody I disguise the meaning and a bit of digging is needed, hence ones  life experiences comes into focus. Enjoy. 

 Nature has a balance.

Pink crows now live in a dreamy land I painted one summers day never knowing that this would be the finished work. But then would I do anything, create anything if I knew exactly what the end result would be? I think not! That is the fun and pleasure of it all, waiting for the surprise.

Birds of a feather flock together. So goes the expression and the beauty it brings as crows move as one through the sky.

My dear crow friend sits atop our pear tree and looks through the window watching me work on this computer. He/she caws till I go outside and throw  dry cat food onto the lawn. We will have a long and happy relationship.

Geese fly south in the winter and north in the summer. I stay in the same spot year round!

A pattern signals me to the night falling into the sea as the dusk turns me towards the arms of loved ones and sleep.
