Under the Influence
I tell you I love to paint, but more specifically I love to grab my gear and get outside and try my luck at capturing the great outdoors. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as I’m painting I’m good. I’ve been told I paint all the time, that my paintings are just multiplying…
Read MoreFly on Little Wing
It’s not often I write about my little individual painting experiences. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram then you probably get too much of me posting. But a friend of mine while visiting at the end of the day over drinks, we were telling tales of our painting experiences so far this week and…

I am still baffled by the fact that when I climb a flight of stairs, or walk up a steep hill that I am winded and my heart is going “boom-boom-boom” in my head, and yet it was only a month ago that I somehow coerced this old body all the way to the edge……

I was recently asked “what did it take to get to that next level?” What? Rethink, reconsider, and recalculate that one! I’m here flailing around like a ship in a whirlpool.

The first painting I did after trading the bottle for the brush was one for my Mother. In the previous 20 years I had completed maybe 1 painting, and I was totally excited about methodically stretching my canvas, and putting my paints in position around the pallet. There is something about this process that helps…
Read MoreNeed a Push
It’s been a while since I’ve written here, but it’s not because I’m not thinking about it. When I began writing that first blog I knew there was no way I could do this daily, even trying to commit to weekly was pushing my limits. This is more about pushing yourself out of that little…

Well I’ve started the little contest on guessing the final mileage of my road trip, I figure why just go half the way? I’m blogging about who knows what anyway, it might as well be the road trip. It officially got going today, though there has been much leading up to the trip that really…

You into “Buzz Words?” What is it that everyone in the world is trying to be a master of anymore? Multitasking! In these days and times if you are not proficient at doing many things at once it seems like you are being left behind, or at least I feel that way. In this rat…

As I pass around the trays of food at the table loading on portions of everything that comes my way I of course try to get away with putting a little bit more of my favorite. Sometimes it’s not possible when there are measured servings, but I do look for opportunities. I’m not the type…
