Two Views of "Clouds"

It changes as you move, although that effect is almost impossible to photograph!

My New Paintbox

Pond Series

Some recent non-digital works watercolor and pen on paper.

Detail from New Painting

About 3 square inches worth. Psychedelicious!

Mark Your Calendars! Art Opening on Dec 8th in Brookline, MA!

I am excited to announce that I will be in a group show called "Visual Feast"! It is at the Webster House Gallery, 20 Webster Place, Brookline, MA 02445. (617-739-5461 for information)

The works on display include my "Embryo" and "Storm" (above). Come out and check out the work of this exciting new group of artists!

Unknowns

Unknowns. As in more unknowns than knowns. That makes an equation harder to solve, yet perhaps more interesting!

In Process... and Done! [updated]

I've gone back to drawing on paper since it is more calming somehow. I understand that effect is due to the stronger tactile sensations. It is true that there is something quite sensuous about fine cotton rag drawing paper!

Here is a rare shot of a work in process: I need to finish filling in the background, but the overall composition is starting to come to life.

...[much later] and here it is in finished form. Sorry for the glare; I only have my cell phone camera right now.

And here is a detail of the 'sky':

Light III

Coming out of the dark into some chaos, of course. Yet the important part is there is now light.

Monolith

Not as monolithic as it seems!

Healthcare Reform Debate

It's a tough slog to recover. And I know that I am one of the lucky ones: I have disability insurance, I have a good health plan which has covered the cost of almost everything, and I have access to excellent health care providers. But what if those things weren't true?

They're not true for tens of millions of our fellow citizens here in the United States, and that makes our country weaker.

Sick people can't participate in work, family, or service. Bankrupt people can't pay taxes to support their communities. People who don't have easy access to providers spend all their time and energy getting care and can't be creative and productive.

So, next time some nut tells you that health care is a privilege and not a right, ask them why they want our great nation to be weak!

To Jeanne, Mrs. Perception!

Good to talk to you. Things are slowly getting sorted out.

To Andre Who is Always Right

Gawdamintalltohellandback! Things are becoming less murky, so thank you.

Getting Unstuck Despite this Sore Throat

I'm Facing the Wrong Way, Apparently

So why'dya put the chair that way?

Incompetent "Facilitator"

This one's for you, Jeb, for allowing illness to run amok and fights to break out. All unremarked. All pointless.

Nausea

Yeah, it sucks. Yet a purring cat snuggled into your side makes it a bit more bearable.

The Point

The Wonders of Technology

I'm blogging, watching a video and riding home on the commuter rail... all at the same time!

Back Now

The problems have been work stress, some long-delayed elective surgery (which should have been done 32 years ago, frankly) and my ongoing dental saga.

And yet, there are bigger problems in the world. For example, just today we found out about the death of a work colleague. My condolences to his widow and infant son.
