Over the past few months I’ve begun to enter the next phase of my journey.  For more than a decade I’ve been living with my elderly mother.  For much of that time I did would I could to help her adapt to her progressive dementia.  In early July it was finally time for to move […]

After being on hiatus for the past several months, it’s time to get back to blogging on a more regular basis. Given that I’m in the midst of some major life changing circumstances, my creative endeavors and the related social media activities have been pretty much in dormancy. So for the next few months my […]

For months now I’ve been immersed in what seems to be an annual summer surge of creativity. I will eventually offer these originals online, but smaller than the original art, and that will be in open and limited editions. However, I am no longer offering my original online, except private viewings for those with a […]

For months now I’ve been immersed in what seems to be an annual summer surge of creativity.  I’ve also been doing some soul-searching in terms of what direction to take my art. And I gravitate back to original art . . . one-of-a-kind creations. One reason for doing this is that I realize that there are […]

The other day someone described my last blog post as being “mental masturbation”. At first this irked me, but just a bit. Soon I smiled, then realizing the aptness of its title, “A Touchy Subject“!

In my second last post, Reflections on Light, I made a few comments on the question, “Can an infinite universe see itself?” The comments were brief, though abstract and intriguing, at least to anyone fascinated by the subject. I mentioned the issue of time – the past, present and future. While writing those words, something […]

In my last post, “Reflections on Light”, I mentioned that soon I’d be doing a sort of experiment with light boxes . . . trying different things with a raised mirror in a black box that I can fit over my scanner, and then try different scanning effects. I’m most intrigued by what happens when […]

It’s been a good week. Lots of new art done and in progress, and some unusual ideas to boot, and those began by thinking once again about light. I attribute that goodness to a wonderful three hours spent in a father-daughter conversation with both of my girls over the weekend . . . they inspire […]

Art blogging isn’t coming easily these days. It’s not a matter of writer’s block, if anything it’s the opposite. However, the things I ponder upon are far from what most people care to think about . . . esoteric things like pure mathematics, a conundrum in the measurement of equilateral triangles, and how that relates […]
