Sometimes it says hello
And then sometimes I take it farther
This is an image created on my phone
window I snapped
this picture
Thought I saw
a face
so I drew a face
My Camera has all
these filters
so I add some to my
Picture
up top is what I got
I think my Phone
has a
consciousness

Across the Line |
we don't always see.
They connect us
to each other
and our many planes
of existence.
These are the lines
I have made visible
as they move between
the planes.
I do not see them
I only feel them,
then imagine them.
We are connected.

In Process |
other day that it seem like if you
create or want to own abstract art
you have to be comfortable with
being lost. The image to the right
is being worked on at the writing
of this blog post. It is in process,
that is not its title. I keep adding
elements and I am never sure
where it will go next. I tend
to spend long moments just staring
at it and then all of a sudden adding something.
It is as if I was lost in the woods with several directions I could
go in and then I just choose and go. With so many choices of
directions I could go in I think that is what keeps me making
art. Once I finish one piece with all its directional choices I start
over saying well let's take a different path.
So the next time you are looking at an abstract piece of art
ask yourself am I comfortable with being lost or do I need the
way to be clear. The art is not just about the artist, it is also
about you.
In the long process of a job this size I often have to remind myself I am making a place for a family to be and be comfortable. As an artist I find it difficult to make box after box, which is what cabinet making is, and not get board. Remembering I am making a home more comfortable for others is often what I use to keep me going.

Cloudy Waters |
This is a Photo taken with a cell phone. Clouds reflecting in the water enhanced by a filter that Out lined the ripples on the water. The straight lines at the bottom are vibrations from my kayak. I really enjoy the reflected world.
